Much of the course is built on the site of the Medieval village of Immingham, which surrounded the closely situated St Andrews Church. Opened in 1975 as a nine hole course and extended in 1984, it was built on land that is one of the few examples of Medieval strip-farming that still exists.
The exaggerated undulations provide the golfer with many differing stances and lies, truly rewarding the accuracy of the shot. The Course is currently just over 6000 yards in length and is demanding of both accuracy and distance. The fairways are closely mown and shaped, with a medium light rough to trap wayward golf balls.
Most holes are lined by a selection of beech, firs, and conifers. This gives a good degree of seclusion between holes, and adds to the difficulty. Features like the dykes, boundary hedgerows, and ridge and furrow land are the main characteristics of the course. These natural features have been complemented by the addition of many trees, bunkers and two large ponds. The section of the course around holes 11 to 13 is at or below sea level and in the early days was prone to severe flooding (as happened in summer 2007). In February 2006 a concerted effort was made to drain these areas. Further drainage work was carried out in 2007/8.
