The North Shore Hotel is perched on the Lincolnshire coast with big sea air and even bigger views, looking across the Wash towards the Norfolk coastline and out to the North Sea. It's the sort of place that makes sense for a golf break straight away, because the course is on site, the bar is built for post-round chats and Skegness is less than a mile away when you want a change of scene.
Skegness itself is a proper seaside town, with seasonal events including arts and music festivals, plus plenty of pubs, bars and casual restaurants that work well for groups. You're close enough for a quick taxi into town, but far enough out that the hotel still feels calm when you're back on site.
Inside, it's traditional in the best way: dark wood, comfortable seating and a warm, golfer-friendly feel rather than anything too glossy. The James Braid bar is open all day, serving real ales, lager and snacks, and it naturally becomes the meeting point after a round. Food is classic English fare with local produce where possible, and the Sunday carvery is popular with returning guests.
If you're looking for a coastal UK golf break with heritage, views and an easy routine, play, pint, dinner, sleep, repeat, North Shore is a strong contender.
