Forest Pines is a 27-hole British golf resort and hotel east of Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire. Lying close to the village of Broughton it occupies the former Briggate Lodge site.

Opened in 1988 by David Middleton, Forest Pines is marketed as a luxury golf and country club hotel. It is set in 190 acres of woodland.[1] The resort contains an 18-metre indoor pool, spa, and gym facilities.[2] Golf courses were added from 1996.[3]

Golf courses

The course was designed by the ex-European Tour player John Morgan and consists of three loops of nine holes: Forest, Pines, and Beeches.[4] The Forest-Pines combination is the most challenging, with a course rating of 73.5 and a slope rating of 149 when playing off the white championship tees.

Guinness World Record

In 2006, a British schoolgirl was the youngest female to record a hole in one. Kate Langley was credited with making a 1 on the 134-yard par 3 on the Beeches course on 9 August. She was 9 years, 166 days old and had been playing for less than a year.[6]
