Forest Pines Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort – North Lincolnshire, England

Intro

Ready to swap the everyday grind for 190 acres of pine-scented playground? At Forest Pines Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort your “holiday” begins the moment you lace up—because this Lincolnshire hide-out is purpose-built for athletes who crave both fresh air and first-class facilities.

Unique sports assets (and why they matter)

27-hole championship course (Par 73, 6 400 yds) with PGA pros on site – serious golfers can sharpen every part of their game across three loops of nine, plus a driving range and putting green for focused drills.

Life Fitness gym & two studios – strength, conditioning and group classes just steps from your room keep training programmes on track whatever the weather.

18 m indoor pool – perfect for technique sessions, active recovery or post-ride cooldown laps.

1.7-mile woodland jogging trail – traffic-free loops on soft terrain for morning tempo runs, interval sets or relaxed cooldowns.

Thermal suite (sauna, steam, Jacuzzi) & Elemis spa – ease DOMS with heat therapy or book a sports massage right on site.

Pines Bar overlooking the 18th – refuel without missing the action; macro-friendly menus keep glycogen stores topped up between sessions.

Location & surroundings

Just off the M 180 yet cocooned by towering Scots pines, the resort sits between Brigg and Scunthorpe—an idyllic launch pad for long spins through the rolling Lincolnshire Wolds, one of Britain’s most cycle-friendly regions.

Atmosphere you can picture

Step inside and you’re greeted by riders comparing watt-numbers over flat whites, golfers lining up putts on the practice mat in the lobby, and runners stretching beneath timber-beamed ceilings that still smell faintly of the forest outside. Even the lounge buzzes with race-day energy as teams pore over route maps beside an open fire.

Rooms & comfort

All 188 bedrooms and 4 suites spread over three floors prioritise rest and kit-storage: blackout curtains, oversized beds, laptop-safe (fits Garmin head units), ergonomic workspace and speedy Wi-Fi for upload-or-it-didn’t-happen Strava moments. Inter-connecting family rooms and accessible options keep squads together; ground-floor units open straight onto the greens for sunrise warm-ups.

Testimonials

“Rooms are excellent, the spa facilities very modern and clean—I’d recommend this venue to golfing groups of all sizes.”

“A lovely hotel with a friendly welcome, attentive staff, immaculate rooms and good food. We are looking forward to our next visit.”

Sports offer – discipline by discipline

Golf - 27 holes of tree-lined fairways demand precision drives and reward shot-shaping. Warm up on the driving range, fine-tune putts on the slick practice green, then analyse your swing with resident PGA coaches. Clubhouse lockers and on-course GPS buggies streamline tournament logistics.

Running & Trail Running - The resort’s marked 1.7-mile loop threads through quiet woodland—ideal for Fartlek or recovery miles. Extend sessions onto way-marked country lanes where rolling terrain mimics gentle altitude work without the altitude.

Cycling - Road cyclists roll straight onto low-traffic lanes towards the Lincolnshire Wolds; Visit Lincolnshire lists multiple GPX-mapped routes for all levels, while secure bike storage and tool kits sit next to reception.

Swimming - An 18-metre heated indoor pool allows technique drills and aqua-jog sets year-round; post-session, swap lanes for the adjacent spa pool to accelerate recovery.

Fitness & Strength - Life Fitness cardio lines, free-weights up to 50 kg, Olympic bars and two mirrored studios mean periodised strength blocks or HIIT circuits slot seamlessly into camp schedules.

Wellness & recovery

Alternate sauna and steam bursts with chilled showers, sink into the hydro-spa or book a deep-tissue massage tailored to golfers’ shoulders and cyclists’ quads. The relaxation lounge’s heated beds provide passive stretch while nutrition smoothies arrive to-order.

Cuisine & sports nutrition

Seasonal menus in The Grill spotlight local Lincolnshire produce, balanced macro plates and carb-loading pasta specials. Lounge Bar smoothies and protein bowls cover quick refuels, while Pines Bar dishes out wholesome post-round staples without straying far from the scorecard.
