The Belfry

Renowned for hosting an unprecedented four Ryder Cups along with numerous European Tour events, The Brabazon offers a challenging experience for parkland golf enthusiasts. The course is consistently maintained to perfection, featuring exceptional greens.

The excitement often unfolds at the short par-4 10th hole and the captivating 18th. These holes have etched themselves into Ryder Cup history, highlighted by Seve’s legendary drive on the 10th, Sam Torrance’s iconic putt that clinched the Cup on the 18th in 1985, and Christie O’Connor’s stunning 2-iron shot over the lake at that same concluding hole.

Golfers who conquer the 18 holes will require exceptional shot accuracy and a sharp eye for navigating the quick greens, ensuring a rewarding yet challenging experience for even the most skilled players.
