Belton Park Golf Club is a 27-hole members' club in Grantham, Lincolnshire, with three nine-hole loops that form the Brownlow, Ancaster and Belmont 18-hole combinations. The club traces its foundation to 1890, making it the oldest golf club in Lincolnshire according to its history. It began as nine holes on land provided by Lord Brownlow, expanded to 18 holes in 1908 and closed during the First World War when the site became a military camp.
Hollinwell professional Tom Williamson redesigned the course before it reopened in 1923. A further nine holes were later planned with advice from Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas, creating the modern 27-hole arrangement. The official site describes Brownlow as par 71, Ancaster as par 70 and Belmont as par 69.
The course is a 27-hole parkland golf course. Designed by Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas, the course originally opened in 1890. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Practice Facilities, Clubhouse, Changing Rooms, Function Facilities.
The club dates to 1890 according to the Royal and Ancient records cited by Belton Park. Lord Brownlow made land available for the original nine holes and became the first club president. By 1908 the course had grown to 18 holes and measured 5,416 yards.
Golf ceased during the First World War when the property became a major army camp. Tom Williamson redesigned the course after the war and it reopened in 1923. In the 1970s a further nine holes were planned with advice from Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas, establishing the three-loop configuration used today.
Fairway irrigation was installed in 1997 after repeated drought problems.
The club describes itself as a regular England Golf championship venue and has retained its historic position within Lincolnshire golf for more than a century.
Belton Park occupies National Trust-owned estate land and operates 27 parkland holes as three interchangeable 18-hole combinations, with member golf, visitors, professional services and clubhouse functions.
