Wow! Myself and my friend have just got back from a 2 hour beach ride with Jamie and Chrissy who were fantastic and made the whole experience one to remember! We are both experienced riders and it takes a lot to impress me and I was not disappointed! Fantastic gallops across the beach and being able to go into the sea with the horses was just an unforgettable experience! The horses were so well behaved and we swam out up to our waists and even saw a seal! The beach is beautiful and the horses were fun and safe and well looked after, clearly enjoying their jobs! This is definitely the best beach riding experience around and run by a lovely family team who are friendly and make you feel welcome straight away. I can’t wait to come back... it is so worth the 2 hour trip there and back and I will recommend to everyone! Thank you for an unforgettable ride!

every time we go we have a great time. it is well maintained. the couple of effects are there are always working when i go and the course has got a very old school, vintage feel to it which i love about it. there is 3 courses. an 18 hole putting green, the 18 hole crazy golf and the 9 hole crazy golf and the 9 hole crazy golf isnt the second or first half of the 18 hole crazy golf, it is a seperate course which i think is more conveniant. and then to round your game no matter what course your on you have a bonus 10th or 19th hole depending on what course you play. overall it is a great place to have a round with your friends and family and it should be 100% on your skegness must do list.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 560 reviews
Hardys Animal Farm is a great day out in over 7 acres of Lincolnshire countryside yet just 10 minutes walk from the beach, with loads of things to do and animals for you to meet feed and make friends with. It's a great day out, whatever the weather! You can see pigs being born in our specially glazed breeding unit, feed the goats and many other animals, allowing the children to learn about modern farming in a safe and fun environment. We also have baby Lambs, Goats, Cows and Chicks being born throughout the year. There is plenty of space for the kids to run around in our 3 Adventure Playgrounds catering to all ages, while you relax with a hot drink or a bite to eat. Go on a relaxing Cart Ride around the Farm with Fergie the Tractor and then decamp to Haystacks Indoor Playbarn, there are loads of things to do come rain or shine. The Number 3 Bus stops at the end of the farm road, running every 8-10 minutes from Skegness, Ingoldmells, Butlins & Fantasy Island

5. North Shore Golf Club
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 60 reviews
The North Shore Golf Club, which celebrated its centenary in 2010, is situated on the Lincolnshire Coast. This James Braid designed 18 hole course is a fantastic mix of Parkland and Links golf. With views over the wash to the Norfolk coast it provides the ideal setting for the perfect round.

Just returned from an amazing weekend with 5 other lads at the golf school at North shore golf course with links golf school. Everything was spot on. The golf course here is top class and the tuition we all had from John the golf pro on the course was top class. All six of us were very much on the beginner level but after three days here with John we have all improved vastly and now actually have the skills to start to play the game properly. I'd say he has helped every single one of us to take at least ten or even fifteen shots off our game. The course itself is brilliant with a mix of links and the usual and it is in great condition. The greens are very well kept and very fast. The accommodation was directly overlooking the course, the golf school included breakfast and dinner in the club house which was decent as well. The bar has great views over looking the green on the 9th hole where you can relax with a pint and watch the action. All in all a great weekend and we can't wait to come back and play this course again.

10. Seacroft Golf Club
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 20 reviews
Seacroft is a Championship Links course and has been in existence since 1895 as a members owned family club and proud of it. It is a traditional links 'out and back' layout on quite a narrow site adjacent to the Gibralter Point nature reserve in Skegness, Lincolnshire. Adaption to the modern game has not spoiled the gloriously old fashioned feel to the golf with tight undulating and hogsback fairways and a number of blind or semi-blind shots, seventy five bunkers and the occasional impenetrable buckthorn. Our course is an "English Nature Site of Special Scientific Interest" where golf and the environment joins together in harmony. There are glorious views over the nature reserve, the wash and to the distant Norfolk coastline from various holes. The Championship Links course has hosted many national and amateur competitions over the years. Grass tees and normal greens are played on all year round and at 6492 yards the course can be a challenge for golfers of all abilities.

As part of a group of 32 golfers, I want to applaud the service provided by the team at Seacroft. The food we received was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for the staff there - many of them seeing us off the premises late at night and then waiting for us to arrive early the next morning. The weather was mixed but the course held up well. Anybody thinking of arranging a society trip or just a fourball should think very seriously about paying Seacroft a visit. A great all round experience.
