Course lowdown: The fairways here are tight and undulating, demanding crisp iron play. There are 75 bunkers on the course so proficiency from the sand is important. Beware of the 13th, a par 5 of 499 yards. It?s a dangerous hole on which you must aim left to give yourself a view of the green on the second shot. The decision then is whether to lay up short of the bunker or go for broke.

Stats: par 71, SSS 71, 6,492 yards

Green fees: £40 round, £50 day Mon-Fri, £50 round Sat, £45 round Sun. Special rates available from Nov to March.

History: Seacroft was founded in 1895. Originally the course was just nine holes but it was extended to 18 in 1900.

Location: Drummond Road, Seacroft, Skegness, Lincolnshire PE25 3AU
