Boasting an award-winning 27-hole championship golf course, Forest Pines Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort is set in beautiful Lincolnshire woodland near the charming market town of Brigg. Despite being just off the motorway, the out-of-town setting feels peaceful and calm. For such a large resort, you might be surprised to learn that Forest Pines Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort actually began life as a small lodge with just a pub and a handful of rooms on-site. Nowadays, there's plenty to do here, with a round of our course an absolute must for golfers. Our fabulous 18-metre indoor pool, leisurely spa and tasty fare at The Grill Restaurant are all you need for an enjoyable break. And if you love puzzles, don't miss our duck hunt – can you find 22 bamboo ducks hidden around the hotel? Further afield, potter around the independent boutiques in Brigg, just 3 miles away. Brought your canine companion? Explore the Viking Way, which crosses the Lincolnshire Wolds.  Travelling with the little ones? Gaze through the centuries at Lincoln Castle or Go Ape at Normanby Hall.  All that and much more are within easy reach.
