Immingham Golf Club (IGC) is a member owned 18 hole course situated on the outskirts of the Port and Town of Immingham , with much of the course being 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, IGC has evolved incrementally from a course that was constructed on essentially bare farm pasture land (with few points of interest) to the current tree lined course of today.

This picture from 1977 shows a view from the rear of the current 11th green looking forward toward the current 14th green. There are no trees to block the line of sight and the houses in the background can clearly be seen. A current photo here and a reverse direction shot here shows how tree plantations and 30 odd years of growth have combined to produce an ever tightening course.

By 1982 the clubs finances and ambition had grown to the point where it was decided to build an extra 9 holes to extend the course to a full 18 hole golf course.After land purchase , design, and building,the course was ready for play in 1984. In 1992 extra land was purchased and the format of the front 9 was changed slightly to it current layout

Much of the IGC is built on land that is one of the few examples of Medieval strip-farming that still exists which provides exaggerated unusual undulations for the golfer and many differing stances and lies, rewarding the accuracy of the shot. The Course is currently just over 6000yds 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 (as can be seen in this current picture of the 1st Tee), 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 are at or below sea level and in the early days was prone to severe flooding (as happened in summer 2007-1 , 2007-2 ). Originally drained in 1977 by Brader Bros (as can be seen in some of the older photos)the course has had continual additions and replacements to the drainage and in February 2006 a concerted effort was made to drain holes 11 to 13 and surrounding areas.

The notorious dykes (as seen in the hole by hole diagrams) come into play on the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 10th, 14th, 16th, 17th (twice!) and 18th.

The first Clubhouse was based on a now defunct prefabricated building with little original charm. After much hard work It did however allow the members to have the needed facilities while waiting for the timing to be right to build a purpose built brick building and a new clubhouse was added in 1998.
