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.
The PGA National stands out as the sole PGA-branded golf course in England. It proudly hosts two European Tour Events and is meticulously maintained throughout the year. The course features an inland design that offers a variety of challenges, including water hazards and cleverly positioned bunkers. 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.
The Derby Golf Course may not have the same level of fame as its renowned counterparts, but it offers a delightful golfing experience. Stretching 6099 yards with a par of 70, this course caters to players of all skill levels, featuring a mix of water hazards and cleverly designed risk-reward holes. While it may not be the longest course out there, The Derby challenges you to use strategy during your play. It serves as a refreshing alternative to The Brabazon and PGA National courses, making it a great choice for those enjoying a golfing getaway at the Belfry.
The Belfry is home to some of the finest practice facilities in the country and visiting golfers can benefit from world-class tuition at England’s only PGA branded Golf Academy. Practice / teaching facilities at The Belfry include a 34 bay floodlit driving range, a superb putting green and dedicated short game practice area, as well as 5 individual custom fitting suites where golfers can make use of video analysis and launch monitor technology to better understand their games.
Named after Sam Torrance, who of course holed the winning putt at The Belfry in 1985, as well as winning as a Captain here in 2002, Sams Bar at The Belfry is a great place to enjoy a bite to eat or a well deserved drink after your round. With an elevated seating area, golfers can also relax while gazing out over the courses and during the summer months, a cold beer al fresco style on the terrace is hard to beat as you watch golfers coming up the 18th, as well as taking on the exciting tee shot from the iconic 10th hole on the Brabazon. A fire pit ensures you can enjoy al fresco dining even after the sun has started to go down.
NB - Reservations cannot be made for Sams Club House but with ample space, it is very likely you will be accommodated.
The Belfry recently undertook an extensive £26 million refurbishment programme which has restored the hotel and the resort facilities so that they match the quality found out on the courses. Making golf breaks at The Belfry a quality all-round experience.
Despite being set in 500 acres of tranquil countryside, The Belfry is just a short drive from the centre of Birmingham in Sutton Coldfield and can be easily accessed from the M6 and M42, not to mention being just 20 minutes from New Street Station and 10 minutes from Birmingham International Airport. If you’re leading a life of luxury, the resort even has its own Helicopter Pad.
While the courses are relatively flat and easy to walk, those who want buggies should book well in advance and check on buggy restrictions in relation to course conditions.
The Belfry hotel boasts 324 guest bedrooms, ranging from the more comfortable standard twins and doubles through to their superior rooms. For a particularly memorable occasion, there are 11 spacious suites and the Presidential Suite.
The guestrooms are tastefully decorated and well-furnished, while many offer excellent views over the manicured gardens or the golf courses. The 550 acres of Warwickshire countryside in the West Midlands make for a sublime backdrop, while spending time in the hotel will evoke memories of the superb Ryder Cup matches to have been staged at The Belfry, particularly when you pass the European and American team rooms, where so many rousing speeches have been delivered.
This special atmosphere pervades the whole resort, and only serves to improve the experience of your golf break at The Belfry.
For a more formal dining experience, The French Grill offers a superb menu featuring modern European cuisine and overlooks The Brabazon course.
Furthermore, the buffet on offer at The Atrium offers an endless array of delicious classic dishes.
Following a round of golf, try Sam's, which is ideal for the hungry golfer, alternatively head to the Brabazon Bar for a drink.
Health & Wellness at The Belfry offer a range of facilities that include a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and spa pools. In addition there’s a state-of-the-art gym with a range of TECA equipment from Italy, fitness studio, tennis and squash court.
Relax in the AquaSpa, a 90 minute journey through a series of 12 zones, experience hot and cold sensations with cleansing steam, piercing ice showers, aromatherapy mood lighting and a multi-featured hydrotherapy pool.
The Belfry is located in Warwickshire just off the M6 Toll and M42 motorways, 10 miles North of Birmingham Airport and International Train Station.

One of the best and largest hotels I've stayed in the prices in Sam's bar were what I would expect to pay. The table service and food was first class, however it was very busy, With a group of 24 I would have liked the use of a private room to do our presentations in.

I cannot fault the staff + Restaurant/bars. Everything on this side was 5 stars and more. Everyone we spoke to was smiling, bubbly and more than happy to help which was a really nice touch. I'm talking from when we walked in, to pool area, on the golf course or other staff we bumped in to. The Pool area was a little bit dated with a few repairs going on. Loads of funny noises and high pitched sirens in the steam room and things like this but nothing that would stop me from coming back. What is going to stop me coming back is the rooms.. (I wasn't the only one to complain about this) but the rooms do not have air con??!?! Only the Apartments and other areas do. So, they give you a Dyson fan in the corner of the room. We have just got back from the Belfry and it has been a storm weather warning so the humidity was at it's highest so that didn't help. So, in a really hot room with the loudest fan meant next to no sleep and the next morning we had the tee time for the Brabazon which we booked the trip for. Instead of taking it all in, we had about two hours sleep and wanted to get home. If, the sleep and the room was up to standard, this trip would've been a strong 9.5 out of 10. What a let down.

Fabulous and golf royalty. Very friendly and organised. A vast complex and very busy with golf being just one of the events happening. Expensive if you want more than one beer... The practice facilities were just far enough away that none of us bothered. I did put on the same putting green I saw Seve put on in the 1993 Ryder Cup. Enough said.
Neil

Everything was great prompt at check in food lovely for evening room room nice althou the small fan supplied in this heat did nothing . Around 1am a group of males where intoxicated and being extremely disrespectful making lots of noise in the room at the side and running up and down corridors purposely banging on doors which woke us up …. Informed reception who asked them to be quite … this stopped but then started again at 3am where they were using the corridor as a putting green …the reception wasnt far and could be heard but they did nothing and i was sick of asking them to sort the group out … informed reception the following day and they did nothing not even an apology … this then spoilt day 2 as we were very tired Im so disappointed spent a lot of money for my husbands 50th birthday for this golf trip away its unacceptable that the hotel didnt do anything or recognize who this has impacted on our stay Im not rating the courses at this has spoilt the whole trip

The room was poor we were allocated a disabled room. The first night was poor as there was a generator running all night. At the same time we were next to a person who was scoring and gasping for breathe as though on some sort of a machine. This was not the persons fault but added to the disappointment of the first night. We were not able to be given an alternative room until the following day. We were moved the next day and refunded £66. Otherwise great venue and courses!

Luke
✓24 Jul 2024
Room was lovely and perfect size. Great breakfast options although the pink-haired lady was very officious and bordering rude. Be prepared to pay London prices (if not more) for drinks and food (which was sub-standard). It is what we expected: an expensive resort, but exactly what you need for a short stay.
Henry
✓22 Jul 2024
The complex is great, sports bar is brilliant (especially with the open on) and the food was really nice. The buffet food was excellent, we were going to have something off the menu but we was first ones in and the food was fresh. The only downfall is that there is 0 air con in the rooms and they get really hot. There was a small fan but that wasn't doing anything. Pro shop is well priced too, a lot of places charge more for their writing on there but it was same price. I would defo return and recommend others too, the deal was very reasonably priced.

The belfry is just a building site ATM. Parking is a nightmare and the toptracer driving range is closed. Not good considering I wanted to set up my new driver before playing. I paid top money and was disappointed that we were not informed of this before we booked. The room did not get serviced. I asked and was told you have to request it. Which apparently you get told on email from the hotel but as we booked via you this again was missed out

The branazon played well really enjoyed our game, the PGA national was really dirty I felt disgusting after coming off the course, Hotel staff were really nice, For the hotel I didn’t enjoy my stay at all no air con the rooms were roasting hot a were put right above the late bar witch didn’t finish until 2 o’clock in the morning, none of our group slept at all we were really disappointed by this.

Hotel room was nothing special considering it’s called a signature room. Sams bar was good for the football, food was ok. Staff and customer fallout was happening in front of me when I queued for the bar, which made me feel uncomfortable, and for the customer. Was disappointed that every time I ordered a drink, there was a service charge added. £8.50 for a pint is very extreme….

This is a lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. The only issue we had was every time you order a drink at the bars they have a service charge even if you carry it yourself. Daylight robbery how can they add on a charge with no notification anywhere that they are doing it. Sneaky and underhand in our opinion

Upon arrival at our 2 day trip we came to notice that our golf tee times weren't booked in at all when conversing with the golf shop front desk. Among the stressful situation the golf shop assured us we still would get tee times during that day and the day after. But mentioned speaking with the reservations desk to double check out room booking. When visiting the hotel reservations desk and explaining the situation, the lady was sincere and apologetic. Offered us early check in, late check out in addition to a complimentary drink as an apology for whatever went wrong. Overall, apart from the stressful start, we had a great experience with the hotel itself. Staff were welcoming, friendly and generous in their service.

The facilities were excellent but the application of a 10% service charge is just not acceptable but just wrong, it should be up to the Hotel Owners to pay the staff within the charge applied to the customer for service and facilities. It should be up to the customer to reward good service I’m sure I’m not the only person who has brought this issue up, most people we met during the weekend had something to say on this matter. Would not return to this venue and would advise others that might consider it about this issue, the price level for the food and especially drinks they are already a level or higher level to reflect the venue.

Initial welcome was very warm and friendly at hotel reception. One of the golf starters was similarly friendly and chatty. Beyond this, the rest of the interactions with staff was average. The scale of the resort and amount of people being “processed” made it feel very impersonal and faceless compared to many other golf venues I have stayed at.

The hotel is amazing and staff are also brilliant! The rooms are very nice with some lovely touches however the single beds are a little small for most men and when comparing to other venues we have visited as a group, double beds have always been present in the twin rooms. A very small gripe about an otherwise very good room. Food and drink are also very good, as expected a bit on the pricey side but still very pleased with the offering.

Venue is a very good place for groups.The trip was spoilt by finding out a day before we had been booked in hotel not the parklands dorm area for 16.It would have been useful if Your Golf Travel would have confirmed this and the Belfry agree before we travel.Rooms are starting to look tired lights didnt work and fittings falling off.Smell of drains really poor.Food ridiculously expensive and the 20% discount also needs to be confirmed on the booking because wouldnt give us this on food and drink.Shame because the golf and set up extremelly good.

Good size twin room. Sky in the in room TV allowed to watch sports whilst getting ready You had to request housekeeping rather than it just being each day. A little odd, but one to be aware of. Staff very friendly and professional. Sam's bar. Nice atmosphere. Pints about £7 to 8 and a burger and chips about £20 to give you an idea. Ryder grill books fast, buffet was OK with about 10 selections and a,steak and chips will set you back 45 or so.

Jeremy
✓15 May 2023
Hotel is nice, food in Ryder grill buffet is really good too. Drinks at the Brabazon bar are way overpriced as you'd expect. £3.50 for a mixer, spirits starting at £7 as are bottles of cider. Rooms comfortable, great water pressure in shower. Have to ask for maid service though else bed not made, snacks and coffee not replenished, towels not fresh unless you specifically ask! Spa is OK though not as nice as Celtic Manor. Best thing is the staff, really helpful and friendly.

fine hotel, very friendly from front off house welcome to golf shop and bars etc. As we had buggies booked and not allowed on the course due to weather, felt we should have had the option of elect buggies, they were all booked out so we had pull ones we hired, had we known then may have taken our own elect trollies. perhaps the hotel/golf should have enough elect for bad weather as its premier place to play ?
Robert
✓10 May 2023
Good accommodation but no aircon which wouldn’t have been a problem except we were in delivery central so noisy. Food was good in Ryder Grill albeit expensive, the Brabazon bar doesn’t serve food weekdays and Roccas closes at 4 none of which was explained or on any information document. Sams bar burger fast food but good size portions again £19 for a standard burger!

We had booked in February last year but were allocated 2 rooms as far apart as they could be. We had no pillows on arrival and having requested 4 times I sat in reception until 10pm before pillows were provided. The food was adequate but not exceptional and the alcohol extortionate 3x G and T £60 with a service charge added even though I collected myself from the bar.

Venue was incredible, facilities good. Rooms where far too hot and no way of cooling them down. bars decent too. Only negative was them adding service charge on drinks / rounds at the bar.

Everything was great. Spa, not fully working and in need of upgrade. Gym, great kit and very tidy. Room 1302, tidy and comfortable enough. BIG let down, the constant stream of drunk people passing and partying in the corridor from 11:39-3:30am. One of my friends had to be relocated. This really was frustrating.

The hotel was great with brilliant facilities all around. The bars and restaurants are superb and the rooms in the hotel are good. Most of the staff in the hotel are really helpful and pleasant but one or two staff mainly in the restaurant didn't seem to be aware of when we had finished our food. The staff at the golf course were very helpful and polite. Just a few things that didn't go so well. We all found the bar prices at the hotel to be extremely high and quite a lot more than last year, also the rooms didn't get clean towels for the 3 days we were there.

Hotel great as always, this is the first time I have come across every golfer complaining about the bar charges. We got 20% off in Sams bar which is fine. then everyone got a 50p per drink Gratuity charge !!! That means 16 of us £8.00 charge per round !!!!!! something needs to be done about it. Everyone I talked to said they were not going back. Please pass onto the Belfry. Kevan

Overnight stay with two rounds of golf at a great price. YGT managed the booking every step of the way and sorted all my queries and changes as soon as they could. Course were great, food option were good and the staff at The Belfry were brilliant. Will definitely go back via YGT. One things I did notice, unlike other “Golf break” companies there was no hard sell or constant calls after making an enquiry. Got the quote and given time to send it round to the group to confirm dates, cost and location. Hats of to Freddie who dealt with my booking. Will use YGT for future bookings

Drinks & food were expensive (£26.50 for a 2 course buffet with fairly basic lukewarm food - eat less off A La Carte was a better option in our view - beer was mainly around £7:50/pint and double G&Ts were £12-15. On top of high prices the "believed new owners - from China?" are implementing a 10% Service Bill on every transaction everywhere. This includes when you go to the bar, order & collect your own drink. You also get charged this in the Halfway hut. The staff seem embarrassed by it and do advise that one can refuse to include it, but I am sure most people just accept it. We had a great waitress at one evening meal and removed the Service Bill and instead added it as a Gratuity (which we think she would solely get). Some staff thought the Service Bill is shared amongst all staff (but maybe with a handling fee), some said it has to go to staff under current laws, some were unsure. All in all it did not sit well with any in my party.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Belfry from the impressively stocked golf shop to Sam’s bar for a cool drink after our round to the central lively bar in the heart of the Hotel for a more relaxed time. All the staff were attentive and helpful and checking in was very accommodating with allowing us early access to our room checking and out was smooth. Lovely environment and feel about the place of which we plan to return ASAP.
Rachel
✓12 Jun 2022
Lovely hotel, the only reason why ive given it 4 stars not 5 stars is there was only one dressing gown in our room and the smoke alarm was directly above the bed which flashed every 30 seconds or so keeping us awake!!! I understand the surroundings and the type of hotel we had booked in however £38 for a bottle of prosecco is a bit overpriced. The food was very nice and plenty of it.
Chris
✓8 Jun 2022
The hotel itself is very nicely appointed and the spa and pool are very good. The food we had both in the restaurant and Sams bar was of good value and plenty of it especially during the buffet. The breakfast in the morning was very good, when served was hot and of a good standard. The three issues our group had was lack of wi-fi availability and strength in Sam's bar which is the main golfers bar pre and post round. The other was the size of the standard twin room we all felt it was a little small in overall size especially when you have two sets of golf clubs in the room with associated battery chargers etc and the beds were a little too close together for comfort because of the size of the room. The check in for the rooms as it was a "stay and play" booking wasn't done at the main desk and I checked back through my emails and I couldn't see anything that gave me as the lead booker as indication as to where we complete this on arrival. It was actually adjacent to the pro shop ( a long way from reception I may add - 10 mins walk through the hotel) and there was only one person checking people in and out, and given there was a queue of 10 bookers like myself checking in up to 8 people at a time) this process took over 20 mins of queuing to complete which in my opinion is too long. Another thing as well as the room allocations i emailed to your company were not on the system on arrival so why ask for them before we arrive?)

The guys who marshall the course and the guys who looked after our clubs and trolleys were fantastic giving us the run down on all three courses and telling us where not to leave the ball clive and Ken were their names Cheers fellas .My only complaint was we had a double bed which wasn't change even though I did ask for it to be and the cost of the food .The breakfast was top notch with everything I could wish for really had a great time thanks all the staff at the belfry and Marcus Richmond at ygt

Bed was very unconfutable and unfortunately on the second day I had serve back problems and only hit two shots on the PGA course. I returned to the pro shop and collected a buggy at a cost of £50.00 just so I could go round with the rest of the lads, Pro shop very expensive, Belfry ruck sack at £50.00, if the items were a little cheaper then more would be sold. I didn't buy one. Drinks expensive but overall brilliant few days away and would defiantly book again.

Arrived in plenty of time on the Sunday before tee time...pre-booked in at Pro-shop...for accommodation and each day's of golf...enjoyed a coffee and bacon roll good value. After golf went to room in Jacklin House.. twin room..all as expected good standard bed comfortable, tv,coffee and tea plenty of these with a bottle of water provided as well...bathroom had shower very clean therefore no issues, very pleased with the room. Restaurant was a bit disappointing in respect evening meal choice of food, picking a buffet, soup and salad were fine, but hot meal choice limited and had to wait for these to be refilled..however, drinks were a little more expensive compared to Sam's...but if going again may choose to go to Sam's bar and have a meal and drinks their instead of pre-booking an evening meal...but overall Restaurant value was good...but buffet food limited. However, the breakfast was very good..have no issues very good value and quality.

Checking in was easy. Staff very professional, efficient and courteous. We used Sams bar after our game and during the evening. Alcohol is a bit on the expensive side which is probably to be expected in a Hotel complex. We also had a meal there. The menu is a bit limited and again slightly overpriced as expected but the meal was very good. Staff in Sams. Bar were very nice although service a bit slow as it was busy. Only downside of our stay was that there was a dinner dance at the hotel whilst we were there and in some of the rooms you could hear the music which didn’t stop until 1 am. Checkout was easy.

The hotel itself had clearly been upgraded since the last time I was there. The room was very nice and comfortable although no AC which we didnt need in March. Issue I have with the hotel is the prices they charge for guests. £4.50 for a coffee is just crazy. £6+ for a pint of beer is again too expensive. This isnt Mayfair after all. Staff at reception were really welcoming. The staff at the golf shop were a little frosty when I had questioned why we hadnt been informed about the NO TROLLEY rule that day on The Brabazon - she simply stated we could get a voucher to return (unhelpful) or pay £5 to hire a carry bag! One of our party had a huge tour bag and a Stewart trolley and in the end had to go home after and not stay for his second round due to his back aching after carrying which he isnt supposed to do. The lack of empathy and sympathy was not good enough. We were there for 2 days so how is offeringa voucher acceptable? A simple email to me would have notified us about the restrictions and we could have accommodated that before travelling.

14 of us had 3 days, 2 nights stay at The Belfry and we all had a fantastic time. We spent plenty of time in Sams bar and The Brabazon bar where the food, drink and service was top notch. Our only issue was the meal in the Ryder Grill on the Saturday night. It wasn't great. The buffet style didn't suit at all and we came away a little disappointed. The rooms were perfect for us, will definitely be returning soon

We had an amazing stay here. Staff couldn’t be any more helpful. Loved the facilities and how clean they are kept daily. We had reservations for the main restaurant but had cancelled this as the lounge had live entertainment which was amazing so ended up ordering food through the bar. Small bar menu but food was amazing. Breakfast also great

Our room was very comfortable, beds comfortable mattress had a topper which covered up a badly stained mattress. Our room was not cleaned during our stay (two nights) our towels remained wet! We ate at the restaurant the first night from the menu planning to have the buffet the second night only to find this was not offered due to low bookings. We had reserved the table and feel we could have been informed of the change in advance.

Room was very comfortable, only complaint was that it was too warm with no apparent means of controlling the room ventilation. A very pleasant stay, the staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Some of the guests were less so, had I been with my wife then some of the "laddish" behaviour and language would have been totally unacceptable, as it was I was happy to ignore it but would not condone it. The bars were very expensive as was the half way hutt facilities.

Service in the bars and restaurants is second to none. Rooms are a little basic and small, with our biggest gripe being that they were not cleaned (no fresh towels or anything) for 3 nights. Not what you expect in a 4 star hotel. Also some things are obscenely expensive as you expect from a resort
Andrew
✓16 Aug 2021
Didn't spend much time in the hotel room. Perfectly serviceable. Had a shower and a bed, didn't need much more. On a golf trip so ended up only eating in the sports bar. Food decent enough if just a touch on the expensive side. Be nice if chips came included with burgers etc or the portions were a touch bigger but guess what you'd expect from big corporate hotel. Later drank in the other bar and again drinks just a touch on the expensive side but probably what you expect. Staff very friendly and did take some money off our bill when something minor went wrong which was much appreciated.

We where a party of 8 and all of us were very impressed with the Hotel and all the facilities on offer. We were all particularly impressed with the staff, how they were all very polite and attentive. We were informed by the starter that our round could be 5 hours due to the course being very busy which proved to be correct, however we preferred to know this at the start and played accordingly.

Found the hotel to be a little grubby lots of marks on the corridor carpets ..very basic .

I booked a golf weekend as a belated present for my brother, the room itself was ok, however there was no water in the room on arrival, it was an extremely hot weekend, I had to ask at the hotel reception for some to be delivered to the room to last for 2 days, only 1 bottle each was left. The service in the bar and restaurant was very slow, approx 15 minute wait for drinks after paying. We had no maid service until the day we left, upon checkout there was no conversation from the receptionist if we enjoyed our stay etc, very poor for the money that we paid and spent that weekend, I would like this feedback to go to the hotel and for somebody to contact me please.

Fantastic location and beautiful surroundings. Superb services in hotel, golf and restaurants. Our room was extremely hot with a window that does not open further than 6inches.

Your golf travel makes the booking so simple, been with these guys for years now and never had a problem. The courses at the belfry were a bit boggy but it was November, and we had all that rain previously so no gripes there, all I can say is if you’re going to book a golfing holiday, these are the the guys and girls to use. 10/10

Overall we had a very enjoyable weekend. The staff are excellent both in the hotel and on the course. The food in the buffet restaurant was excellent, the breakfast was a little disappointing, mainly due to the restaurant being very busy. Our room was not the best for views (3 blank walls!) but generally was comfortable and clean. Would go again, but try to stay clear of the weekend.

When checked in to hotel we didn’t receive our room keys until after finish first round of golf what I understand after them been very busy.

The hotel itself was lovely and the staff extremely helpful however the room we were allocated was dark and most certainly not worth the money we paid for it. We also pre paid £34.95 for a three course evening meal on both nights and once again we could not fault the staff, especially June, a lovely lady who looked after us in the restaurant, the food was average and the main meal not good at all, we were extremely disappointed in the standard of food in the Ryder Grill. The golf courses were great and the men thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The Spa was overcrowded by hen parties which did not make for a relaxing experience at all. Overall we enjoyed our weekend as a family but there were downsides. I normally do not like to complain but I felt some things needed to be said.

We were a group of 16 who have played and stayed in many Golf Hotel resorts. The general consensus was this was the best overall package, regarding quality and cost. The only one negative was the cost of the drinks, alcoholic, soft and beverages all were priced a little high. Would it stop us coming again probably not as the venue was world class..

The ‘family room’ we got given was not as expected. On photos it gives the idea of having a living room with bedrooms coming off. When we go to our rooms we was greeted to find out that the living area shown on the photos was in-fact a communal living area shared between at least 7 rooms. The room was 2 single beds with a poor sofa bed, if I do return I will be requesting different rooms!

Fantastic. Staff couldn’t have been friendlier and helpful. Offered to oversee our clubs while we had a drink before round on day 1. We were allowed to check into the room 5 hours before check in time. Then arranged a taxi to a nearby curry house which they also booked. The rooms were clean and pleasant, no complaints. Sams bar was great for watching the football after the round on day 1 and reasonably priced. Upon return from the curry we went to Bel Air which was far busier than we expected. Unfortunately it wasn’t the younger crowd (20-25) we were hoping for and was mainly middle aged adults. It was still very fun with a large amount of cheesy and pop music. The main bar in the hotel had a great atmosphere for a late night whiskey or two. Breakfast was well presented and tasty for our 9:10 tee off time and check out was very efficient. Overall the hotel is well equipped for the golf clientele with lots to do in the evening in the many bars, restaurants and leisure facilities. We had a fantastic time and considering making it an annual trip.

For one night the rooms were adequate, although they seemed to be set up for one person. Only one glass, towel and shower gel. It was no problem getting them as we only had to ask and they arrived promptly. The open fire was a lovely welcome when we arrived from a chilly round of golf.
Richard
✓3 Dec 2018
the hotel room let the whole stay down as there was a smell in our room as we entered it, and we later found it to be the blocked drain once i took a shower which then caused the whole bathroom to be flooded. I Called the receptionist and informed them but no maintenance came to the room so it left my colleague without a shower after a round of golf in the rain which didn't make him happy. went straight down to the front desk and told her again and said that it will get sorted. we then went out for a curry off site and came back to the room still smelling and that the blockage had been resolved but the shower tray was left with all the black dirt/sludge etc and the toilet had the paper towel which they had made some sort of effort to clean it but hadn't flushed. with this then made me gag. this let the trip down.

The hotel was great, the rooms were big and clean, very comfy and only a short walk to the gold club. The one thing that was disappointing was the prices in the golf bar. I paid £10 for a chicken wrap which I was expecting to be filled to the brim and filling itself but very disappointed. I would however recommend paying the extra £10 to include dinner if you go on a dinner B&B rate. It was an all you can eat buffet that was delicious! 100% recommend this rather than the golf bar.

The belfry is amazing, all you would expect for a golf complex of this nature, the Ryder Cup history is all around you and the booking in system looks to have improved since I was last there as the resident golfers can now book in at a desk at the back of the club shop next to Sam’s bar. Food and drink is expensive but you get what you pay for

We were put up in one of the out buildings which are designed for large groups of golfers. Room was very cold although heating did eventually come on in the morning. Room itself was a good size, had a good shower and plenty of cupboard space. As usual with these hotels drinks are way overpriced - £5 for a coffee!! Never thought a motorway service station coffee would seem cheap. Hotel has excellent facilities, plenty of parking and excellent staff.

Iv done this package a few times and before and have enjoyed my stay ! But this time I thought the food in the Ryder grill wasn’t as good! As for the rooms they were ok ! And I was woken up at 4:30 in the morning due to the garbage men working for a full hour ! But the golf makes up for all the negatives ! Great courses !

We both loved being at The Belfry. The whole atmosphere of the hotel, the excellent facilities, our bedroom and most of all the magnificent golf courses made it a dream come true for us because we are such avid amateur enthusiasts of golf.
The layout of the two courses we played – The Derby and PGA National – were both so different, but so fantastic too...we couldn't fault either and even managed to play fairly well much to our surprise.
We loved the brilliant screens in the buggies too, giving us all the desired information regarding, yardage, warning us about where to place the ball, scoring etc. In fact anything we wished to remind ourselves about the course was there to view on the screens.
We found The Belfry so attractive and pleasant but also exciting.
Our accommodation was superb, the staff were so helpful in every way and the location of the whole complex so very easy to find, so well signposted for visitors.
We would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel, facilities, golf courses; in fact the whole package which we got from Your Golf Travel. In fact we’ve already have done so to a number of our friends.
We can't thank YGT enough for all your help & speedy information. We can't wait to get back to you for a future golf holiday.

The course starter on the PGA national course was grumpy and didn't say anything other than "can I have your ticket". The rough on the PGA course was ridiculously high. It was actually above our knees, which caused slow play and made it less enjoyable. The hotel was ok but check in was painfully slow. The drinks prices were also ridiculous, more expensive than Gleneagles, Celtic manor and to all the golf resorts we have been to. The Brabazon was much better. I would play that course again but not stay.

The Derby was a disappointment - we were unfortunate to visit just as the greens were being hollow-cored (if we had known in advance we would have tried the PGA National instead). The building work going on did not disturb us but did mean that the pro-shop was decanted into a small space. The staff both in the hotel (reception and bars) and at/transporting to the first tees were helpful and friendly.

This time we played the Brabazon and PGA courses and everyone agreed this was the best package.

Party of 36 went to the Belfry in 2012, we played the Brabazon and Derby courses. We had a fabulous time so booked to go back in 2013. This time we played the Brabazon and PGA courses and everyone agreed this was the best package. The recession appears to have kicked in because the free bag tag given out first time round was no longer available, there were less staff to organise and the quality of the food was not as good. Booked Celtic manner the following year and I would recommend that before the Belfry.

Just a great golf course, playing part of history always gives you a buzz. The Brabazon is always in top condition, no matter what time of year you play. We played the PGA course the day before, and it was also a really fantastic course which again, will test your golf. Fairways on both courses are a must off the tee. This has been my 4th visit on the bounce and I look forward to it every year. I also must mention that YGT has everything spot on.

The course starter on the PGA national course was grumpy and didn't say anything other than "can I have your ticket". The rough on the PGA course was ridiculously high. It was actually above our knees, which caused slow play and made it less enjoyable. The hotel was ok but check in was painfully slow. The drinks prices were also ridiculous, more expensive than Gleneagles, Celtic manor and to all the golf resorts we have been to. The Brabazon was much better. I would play that course again but not stay.

Standing on the first tee the feeling of 'this is it' hit me! All the modern Ryder Cup greats have hit that shot- Seve, Watson, Faldo, Woods and now me. The blood was really pumping as I tried (in vain) to drive the 10th. However, the scrambling par got me a '4 for 3' The new(ish) par 3 12th is a beautiful hole with nothing but water to admire. When we finally arrived at 18 (the 18th, some would say), my partners tell me they've never seen me so intense on a drive (I really wanted a 4). Anyhow, my missed four footer condemned me to a bogey and it was off to Sam's Bar for beers and endless chats of what might have been.

The derby is a bit boring compared to the PGA but it is still a good warm up for the Brabazon. The Brabazon is tough, long and you are punished for missing fairways or greens with plenty of water and long thick grass. The renovations to the bar area are great and the accommodation is fair but not great. An evening meal and breakfast was included on previous trips but on this trip the evening meal was gone and the bar prices were too high which was a shame. I always enjoy the trip though.

Hotel and facilities were fantastic and the courses were in great condition. Although the courses were also challenging, they were not too difficult for a 19 handicapper to enjoy.

Played the Brabazon course- poor condition of the bunkers, with large stones in several of them. One of us damaged his sand wedge playing out of a bunker. Also slow play, with the guide times not being adhered to by the group in front of us. We were approximately 25 minutes outside the guide time after 9 holes. I brought this to the attention of the course marshal at the 10th hole, who took no action. The above split the day that we had looked forward to.

Played the Brabazon course- poor condition of the bunkers, with large stones in several of them. One of us damaged his sand wedge playing out of a bunker. Also slow play, with the guide times not being adhered to by the group in front of us. We were approximately 25 minutes outside the guide time after 9 holes. I brought this to the attention of the course marshal at the 10th hole, who took no action. The above split the day that we had looked forward to.

Standing on the first tee the feeling of 'this is it' hit me! All the modern Ryder Cup greats have hit that shot- Seve, Watson, Faldo, Woods and now me. The blood was really pumping as I tried (in vain) to drive the 10th. However, the scrambling par got me a '4 for 3' The new(ish) par 3 12th is a beautiful hole with nothing but water to admire. When we finally arrived at 18 (the 18th, some would say), my partners tell me they've never seen me so intense on a drive (I really wanted a 4). Anyhow, my missed four footer condemned me to a bogey and it was off to Sam's Bar for beers and endless chats of what might have been.

The derby is a bit boring compared to the PGA but it is still a good warm up for the Brabazon. The Brabazon is tough, long and you are punished for missing fairways or greens with plenty of water and long thick grass. The renovations to the bar area are great and the accommodation is fair but not great. An evening meal and breakfast was included on previous trips but on this trip the evening meal was gone and the bar prices were too high which was a shame. I always enjoy the trip though.

It was an enjoyable weekend with the family where I was able to play golf and they could use the leisure facilities. It was my first time playing the Brabazon Course and it did not disappoint, though the pace of play was a little slow. The Derby which I played second was a perfectly acceptable and enjoyable course. The Belfry offers a stylish weekend break in very pleasant surroundings. However, it was a little pricey - £680 for 2 nights with my wife and 11 year old son.

The Brabazon course was in excellent condition, although this is the second time I have played it and I find it a tough course.

My son and I played both the PGA and Derby courses over 2 days. Initially, we had an hour at the driving range- the auto ball feeders are brilliant. On both courses we were able to stay as a 2 ball, however it was very busy, bad queue at the Derby tee off, and constantly being closely pursued by the following playing group. Both courses and greens are very good. Golf shop and staff/reception staff were very good and welcoming, and the allocated bedrooms are excellent.
The Belfry restaurant is quite expensive and Sams Club house appeared to be a better option. However, it was under staffed with disgruntle personnel. The food when it appeared, was nothing special. We stayed for lunch on the second day, but shouldn't have bothered. We will go back for the golf next year but probably eat out.

Don't play out of season to get the best out of the course, as otherwise the weather will beat you and the course will be a bit too tough. In the summer, it will be fantastic with some super holes.

PGA-hole 3 was favourite.
Brabazon- all greens of superior speed and quality. It gave our group of 16 an insight into the type of greens that the pros face week in week out. They beat us up. Our best score was 30 pts stableford for our group of touring Kings Lynn golfers. Glutton for punishment. Can't wait to return to be beaten up again. No weak holes but some are a welcome relief. The obvious gems are the 9th and the 18th.
For anyone playing for the first time there are potential water hazards all over, so bring plenty of balls. Don't travel far to play the Derby. Hotel was excellent.

Very much enjoyed our trip to the Belfry. The two night bed and breakfast break in the hotel, with a round of golf on each of the three courses was ideal and great value for money. Particularly enjoyed the PGA National which is a great course and less tough than the famous Brabazon. All courses were good tests of golf and in excellent condition. Staff at the club and in the hotel were very helpful and courteous. Rooms in the hotel were very clean and comfortable. The drive down from Scotland was straightforward, fairly quick via the Toll Road, and the resort easy to find. Would definitely recommend the Belfry for a golf break and hope to return soon.

Very much enjoyed our trip to the Belfry. The two night bed and breakfast break in the hotel, with a round of golf on each of the three courses was ideal and great value for money. Particularly enjoyed the PGA National which is a great course and less tough than the famous Brabazon. All courses were good tests of golf and in excellent condition. Staff at the club and in the hotel were very helpful and courteous. Rooms in the hotel were very clean and comfortable. The drive down from Scotland was straightforward, fairly quick via the Toll Road, and the resort easy to find. Would definitely recommend the Belfry for a golf break and hope to return soon. All the arrangements through Yourgolftravel went entirely according to plan, and we had a great trip.

The Hotel accommodation was poor and there was no fine dining which ruined it for my wife as it was her birthday. This venue was only suitable for groups of men.

PGA-hole 3 was favourite.
Brabazon- all greens of superior speed and quality. It gave our group of 16 an insight into the type of greens that the pros face week in week out. They beat us up. Our best score was 30 pts stableford for our group of touring Kings Lynn golfers. Glutton for punishment. Can't wait to return to be beaten up again. No weak holes but some are a welcome relief. The obvious gems are the 9th and the 18th.
For anyone playing for the first time there are potential water hazards all over, so bring plenty of balls. Don't travel far to play the Derby. Hotel was excellent.

The Brabazon is a fantastic course, and certainly met expectations. On day two, we played the PGA National. It absolutely poured with rain, and there were high winds, and it was absolutely no fun whatsoever! I doubt I broke 150. My advice- if it rains, go to the bar. I remember the tees were at the back and looking at a 180 yard par 3 over water, thinking I may as well just throw this ball into the water. The 12th was a real low. Straight into the gale, it was around 550. It should have been a par 8. We all took at least 6 to reach the green. The hotel wasn't in great condition, however I believe it has been renovated recently. Overall, I'd recommend.

The Belfry was £99 for a B&B and 2 rounds of golf. Lunch and dinner with drinks added was £85 for 2 people. The biggest pro shop with the latest gear was impressive & we were served efficiently and politely.
The Derby, the easiest of the 3 courses was flattering to my game. The back nine are more interesting than the front and the course is good for all abilities. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were in ok condition. The PGA national: great condition, challenging and had character with water/ditches and some lovely vistas of great English countryside. No pin positions on either courses.
Pull trolleys were expensive at £7.50. The range was excellent with automatic ball tees, great large mirrors and £5.50 for 50 balls which was ok. We ate in Sam's clubhouse which was reasonable for food (pizza £10), but pricey for drinks. A large Cappucinno was £4.95 and a pint was about the same. Staff were very helpful.

The problem with The Belfry for me is the impersonal nature of the hotel complex. It is far too big and busy for a quiet golfing weekend. I hate to say this (and I am not naturally snobbish) but there were a large number of rather oikish people staying at the hotel on this occasion. There were also some rather badly behaved golfers on the course. An example: being practically knocked for six when walking through some swing doors by a rough type who didn't even apologise, then holding open a door for a guy carrying a tray of drinks who didn't even look at me let alone thank me. On the course we were pressured from behind in a rude way when there was a group in front of us within range. So don't go there unless you can avoid these types. I would love to play The Brabazon again on a quiet day with no pressure.

The hotel was undergoing extensive refurbishment at the time which we were not told about. This time we played the Brabazon and the Derby. It was a better package when it was the Brabazon and the PGA. Dinner seems to have been removed from the packages which is a shame because the process remained the same. Nevertheless, great fun playing the Brabazon and recalling the Ryder Cups. The 10th hole is iconic but my favourite hole is the last where you have to decide how much corner to cut off the tee and then over another daunting lake to fly onto a 3 tier green. If in doubt play safe off the tee and lay up with your second. We played a 4BBB on both days which is a fun way to play the courses, especially the Brabazon.

Have been there three times and despite it being summer, is has rained or snowed (yes, snowed on!!!) on each time. Hotel is OK though it has since been refurbished. The food is fresh, plentiful and with good variety. Bar prices are high but not London levels. The changing facilities were small but well appointed.
I don't rate the Derby Course - unimaginative and no better than many a municipal. PGA is as at least as good as the much vaunted Brabazon. My party thought the Brabazon is a bit over-hyped and a bit of a slog. Perhaps getting soaked coloured our perceptions! We did in fact get snowed off in July and got vouchers to return and play again. The shop staff were somewhat dour.

The Belfry was £99 for a B&B and 2 rounds of golf. Lunch and dinner with drinks added was £85 for 2 people. The biggest pro shop with the latest gear was impressive & we were served efficiently and politely.
The Derby, the easiest of the 3 courses was flattering to my game. The back nine are more interesting than the front and the course is good for all abilities. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were in ok condition. The PGA national: great condition, challenging and had character with water/ditches and some lovely vistas of great English countryside. No pin positions on either courses.
Pull trolleys were expensive at £7.50. The range was excellent with automatic ball tees, great large mirrors and £5.50 for 50 balls which was ok. We ate in Sam's clubhouse which was reasonable for food (pizza £10), but pricey for drinks. A large Cappucinno was £4.95 and a pint was about the same. Staff were very helpful.

The Brabazon is a fantastic course, and certainly met expectations. On day two, we played the PGA National. It absolutely poured with rain, and there were high winds, and it was absolutely no fun whatsoever! I doubt I broke 150. My advice- if it rains, go to the bar. I remember the tees were at the back and looking at a 180 yard par 3 over water, thinking I may as well just throw this ball into the water. The 12th was a real low. Straight into the gale, it was around 550. It should have been a par 8. We all took at least 6 to reach the green. The hotel wasn't in great condition, however I believe it has been renovated recently. Overall, I'd recommend.

The Brabazon does have an ambiance of its own with memories of past Ryder Cup matches. However, if you are not as old as me I don't think you would feel the same way. Holes 10 and 18 remain two of the most iconic holes in golf and is a reason for playing the course alone. On the negative side, the course was too crowded when we played it. It took over 5 hours for the round and the venue was pricey.

Brabazon and PGA National were ok courses. Marshall's were over helpful on the first tee, considering we've played before. Challenged too much just to play off white tees as the majority of us our single handicappers and and there are two pros in our group. Hotel facilities generally good but we ate in the bar because we were watching sport. The nightclub was ok. Breakfast pretty good too. Generally happy with the resort.

Hotel was terrific. I would recommend arranging dinner before you go. We played in a shotgun start on the Brabazon on the second day and teed off the 18th at 7.45am having had a late night, which was slightly daunting! Great fun playing all the holes that we are so familiar with from the Ryder Cups in the 80's and early 90's. One negative was the sat-nav yardage on the buggy wasn't working properly, and no discount was offered when I pointed it out at the end of the round. Very enjoyable and a great trip for a group.

It is very easy with the reputation of the course to let it get the better of you, as I did my first time.

The Brabazon does have an ambiance of its own with memories of past Ryder Cup matches. However, if you are not as old as me I don't think you would feel the same way. Holes 10 and 18 remain two of the most iconic holes in golf and is a reason for playing the course alone. On the negative side, the course was too crowded when we played it. It took over 5 hours for the round and the venue was pricey.

The main draw back with the Belfry would be the layout of the hotel. I know it's a big place, but it's like a maze to get from your room to the golf pro shop and the restaurant. I would leave plenty of time to check in at the pro shop and get to your tee on time. Overall, I would recommend going there, especially on a deal which includes the Brabazon course.

The Brabazon and PGA Courses are enjoyable to play on and were in great condition. As for the hotel I was disappointed as I booked dinner for both nights and nobody had knowledge of our reservations. So we ate in the bar the first night which was no problem but there was a table for six left empty all night so when I asked the manager who was the table booked for they said it was for a Mr Martin (ME!). I think theres a bit of a communication problem at The Belfry. There were a couple of other issues I.E only 1 bath towel for 2 men in a room. But on the whole we would probably go back again as we love the golf courses.

Having stayed at The Belfry on an overnight golf and spa break for my 50th birthday, we were made very welcome throughout our stay. We were greeted at the door by a lovely, very polite gentleman and checked in only to find that they had upgraded us to a signature room as it was my birthday; a very nice touch!
The room was very clean, spacious and the facilities were excellent. We used room service too which was excellent. Sam's Bar is amazing and very welcoming too. We ate at the buffet with friends and were well looked after. The food was delicious with plenty of choice and excellent value for money too.
The Derby Course was great to play, with the course well looked after. The golf shop is the best I have seen and the choice is exquisite.
We could not fault our stay and even indulged in a fire and ice treatment which was excellent. Thank you very much for the help in organising our golf break.

We all had a really good time at The Belfry and were incredibly lucky with the weather; it didn't rain on either day, which was excellent.
The PGA National was a challenging course; very open and very links-like. It was in good condition, although the greens had just been hollow-tined so were a little inconsistent. I’d say it’s a good course for golfers of all abilities, with little prohibitive water or length.
The Brabazon course was fantastic, with some truly awesome holes, in particular the 10th and 18th of course. The greens were in excellent condition, with a lovely roll and pace and I couldn't fault it at all. I would say that it is a much more challenging course, and golfers playing off 18+ may have a hard time with it.
After the golf we all got stuck in at the club house where the service was good and there were plenty of screens showing the rugby and football throughout the evening. The beer was cold and tasty and there was a good mix of bitter and lager. The prices were reasonable (compared to London).
In the evening we ate at the Ryder Grill, which was lovely. The food was excellent and the service was attentive. The wine list was great too, with good options at all price levels.
After dinner we hit the cocktail bar, which is a cool lounge style bar, and had some cocktails, which were great. Again the service was faultless and the prices reasonable.
Bel-Air nightclub exceeded expectations too! It was not just full of middle-aged golfers as we'd expected, which was nice. It’s actually a good club and again the bar was decent and the music was great.
None of our party had any trouble finding the Belfry, as it is well signposted and not far off the motorway.
The service from Hannah at Your Golf Travel was timely and efficient, I would certainly recommend them to a friend and use them again in future.

Anticipation was high for the playing of the 'Durran Bowl' (a competition considered as a 5th Major among the 3 of us vying for glory) at The Belfry.
Upon arrival at the entrance and driving down a well signposted route to the golf centre, you are immediately struck by the size of the resort and that you have arrived at a serious golf facility and a 4 time Ryder Cup host.
I had hardly got out of the car before I was greeted by a member of staff welcoming me and immediately pointing out where I needed to go and a general overview. Upon walking through an extensive pro shop with an array of attire and equipment to please any golf addict, I exited through the other side and entered a very nicely appointed bar and restaurant facility with wonderful views over the PGA National’s 1st tee and 18th green.
We decided to have an arrival pint in the bar area in order to discuss checking in for our 1 night stay, confirming our tee off time, arranging buggys and generally settling in.
The hotel and rooms are very well appointed, reflecting I imagine a full refurbishment of the facility. A warm feel pervades through the resort and the very efficient, friendly members of staff certainly didn't go unnoticed among my group.
We played the PGA National which is a challenging
golf course and our only disappointment was the greens which
weren’t in the best shape. The following day we played the Derby
Course which is a delightful course. Well laid out and interesting throughout
with greens that were far better than those on the PGA. The Brabazon
Course looked amazing but will have to wait until another day. We will be back!

A brilliant two days! The golf courses were in good condition. It was a bit windy on the second day but everyone wanted to play the course again and we think it was well suited our range of handicaps which went from 8 – 24.
The staff throughout the resort were very friendly and helpful, the hotel rooms and restaurant were faultless and definitely of a 5 star standard. Bar prices, as we expected, were a little steep but to be honest, after a day’s golf, once you had eaten, you just need your bed!

We have just arrived back from our trip to The Belfry and I have to say the 16 of us had a great couple of days.
The Brabazon was fantastic and the enjoyment was written on the faces of us all when we had walked off the 18th green. To stand on that 10th tee box and see where Seve had hit that famous tee shot from and hit the green was awesome. Needless to say we loved the experience and would recommend it to anyone who loves golf.
We thought the hotel was very good too. We used Sam’s Bar in the evening and were looked after very well by the staff, who were very attentive and sociable. They couldn't do enough for us and the food was excellent, even though the prices are not what we are used to paying. No one complained though. After all, we were away for a couple of days to enjoy ourselves and every one of our party totally 100% enjoyed the break.
When I first decided to book the trip I scanned the internet
looking for a good deal and decided to use Yourgolftravel and I’m glad I did because

Everyone thinks the Brabazon is the hardest of the 3 courses on site its the most famous but PGA National is harder. The little touches were lacking for such a prestigious location, ball cleaners without water and loose tops etc. The biggest issue we had is that our group was split on the 1st of our 6 tee times meaning some of us couldn't play together, a complaint via the starter to the manager failed to rectify the situation and actually end up with the blame put squarely on YGT staff.

What can I say. Played two days after the British Mastered finished and it is the closest I will ever get to play at a Championship course in Championship conditions. The grandstands were all still up which gave you a feel of how many people would be there to watch Pro's which was a nice bonus. The course was stunning and I was stuck just starring at some points in disbelief. It is just a standard and level up from anything I have played on and you can tell why the DP tour is played here. Tricky planned out shots or it's trouble all around you. The greens are ridiculously quick and tricky but it is what you would expect I get. Will defo want to play again soon.

Loved this course. The 1st tee was moved forward because of the grandstands and turned into a par 3 but that wasn't an issue. We have Terry at the tee box to explain the course and how it plays and he was so lovely and gave us encouragement and tips for our round. The course plays 5 away from you and then 8 over a small road before you come back and play the last 5. It is a links styled course and it was so amazing to play. The course was in amazing condition and I couldn't fault it one bit. I would 1000% play this again. I actually preferred this to the Brabazon because I actually slept the night before!!

Course in good condition greens were in good condition, not quite as quick as the other courses but true. the difference with this course is not to stray too far from the fairways as there is really thick and long grass usually meaning lost ball
Paul
✓16 Aug 2024
course was in very good condition with a lot of work being done for the upcoming DP world tour tournament meaning the greenkeeper was trying to protect the course, the pins on all holes were about 3 feet from the edges, also buggies were not allowed even though 3 weeks before tournament

Seems easy if you put the ball in the right place but stray from the fairway and it becomes a beast. Greens must be super hard when they up them to professional speed (British Masters) a great test for us Ams.

Brilliant course so challenging. Greens good . Bunkers surprisingly poor. We had a party of 22 . 2x 3 balls & 4x4 balls. 10 minutes before tee off the lady in the pro shop informed us only 4 balls were allowed! Fortunately we were allowed to play as a group.

Luke
✓24 Jul 2024
Great course, one of the best I have played around the world. The course was being readied for the British Masters which did mean an extortionate amount of greenkeepers and maintenance staff on the course - some really not fussed about moving or being noisy around play. Nevertheless it didn't detract from an amazing experience.
Luke
✓24 Jul 2024
It was one of the hardest rounds I have had in the UK - largely due to the wind. The yellow tees were mainly off the whites so that made it extra difficult. The course was immaculate and a great test for golfers. Some holes felt a bit samey but it was a good links-style course with a lot of testing tee shots.
Henry
✓22 Jul 2024
This is like what we are used to at home, as we play links golf and the rough is brutal in places. Some really good holes here.
Henry
✓22 Jul 2024
The bunkers are terrible but the rest is really good. It is a great risk and reward course, so all about taking on those big shots as only there once. The greens were really good and rolled true.

Great course layout. Not just about the iconic 10th & 18th. Big greens & excellent condition. Downside - condition of the bunkers. Very poor. Bunker tractors only scratching the surface. They need a lot of work. It was a pity about the bunkers because the course is fantastic.

Can't tell you how wonderful it was to play The Brabazon with my son. We had perfect conditions to play in and just so exciting to play the 10th and 18th holes especially with all the history. Every hole was terrific. So much water!!!! Did lose a couple of balls !! A joy to see my son get a lovely 4 on 18 and l enjoyed my 2 chip ins!!!! Will remember this experience forever.

Firstly really disappointed that the driving range and short game area were both closed, especially as yhe staff weren't aware, so we had a long walk to find a sign saying closed and locked doors. The course was great, however again quite a few bunkers were needing some sand in them.

I didn’t play the Derby but my wife said it was ok.
Dominic

Great course. However nothing like enough sand in the bunkers. Playing from the bunkers was a lottery. Also more rakes in the bunkers would encourage the lazy golfers to rake the bunker every time they went in.
Dominic

Goose poo everywhere! Some fairways in a poor condition. Bunkers did not have enough sand in them, just like the Brabazon.
Paul

We played 2v2 better ball format , this made play a bit faster, but we didn’t get held up behind the group in front. Again, we all enjoyed the derby course & the conditions were excellent.
Paul

All four of us really enjoyed the brabazon & had fun driving the 10th hole ( only one of our group hit the green from the tee) The whole course was really well prepared & the greens in very good condition, perfect.
Jamie

If you are not a straight hitter.. just stay away, the moment your ball goes off the fairway you are not going to find it.. lost 12 balls in 6 holes and I'm a 10 handicap.

10 handicap here, not the longest course, but the pin positions make it alot harder, alot of thinking needed!

Other than again bunkers lacking better sand, a really enjoyable round. Each hole needs to be thought about regarding club selection. A good par on the 10th. We all enjoyed the course, a real step up from the Derby. Looking forward to a return.

Excellent greens, bunkers could be better, lacking sand, but generally a very good course that we enjoyed playing. Really pleased with a birdie on the 16th

Fairways were mown quite long, reducing ball run and in some cases making balls difficult to find. First and second cuts off the fairways were very long, thus wasting time while balls were located. Greens were pretty fast though!!
Ian
✓13 May 2024
A classic and dramatic course, pretty long for the amateur, but quite forgiving inasmuch as runoff areas around greens and adjacent to most fairways built to house spectators and thus giving golfers lots of room.
Ian
✓13 May 2024
Greens here were a little slower than the other two courses, and the condition was not as good as the other two when we played...Still, a good challenge!
Garry
✓2 May 2024
Another long course but shorter and slightly easier than the Brabazon, though not by much, our scores were higher than on the first 2 days possibly helped by it being a calm day. In very good condition, greens very good and a more open course, not so many lost balls!
Garry
✓2 May 2024
A beast of a course not helped by a swirling wind! It is a great course to play and just shows how good the pros are. It's very long for the average golfer, but worth a visit. The greens were very quick but very true.
Garry

A good test of golf, it has suffered from the wet weather, and was still boggy in places. The greens were good and the rough was long as it had been too wet to cut. However we all enjoyed the course.

This course is an amazing course!!! But unfortunately, it should not have been open for play. Due to the extremely high winds, relentless rain and condition of the fairways and greens, the course was unplayable. Again, like the PGA course, our round was not a golf round but rather an extreme test of endurance. We were throughly drenched, frozen, and disheartened. We were so looking forward to experiencing the Brabazon, one could tell that under normal circumstances this course would be a memorable golf day. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a memorable disaster. Greens with pools of water, marsh like fairways ( 9 out of 10 drives resulted in being plugged or lost) we lost a record number of balls. The high winds and rain compounded the misery. We would love to play this course again… can you please either sort out a complimentary round or refund our fee and this was an expensive walk through mud, not a golf game. Thank you- Guy
Guy
✓11 Apr 2024
The course was unplayable. It was like a marsh, we were expecting alligators to appear. The fairways were not cut, many greens had pools of water. The weather was dreadful. The course should not have been open. This was not a round of golf but rather an exercise of endurance and self restraint as we wanted to bitterly complain. We were so looking forward to experiencing the PGA course as we heard great things about its quality and challenge. We gave up keeping score as it was not golf but a misery of plugged and lost balls. I have never been so wet and covered in mud in all my years of golfing, we were thoroughly disappointed.

You have to accept the course was wet and boggy in places but at least open. Carry bags only, difficult for me with a broken back. Greens lovely. With ball constantly plugging you lose the odd ball and course plays long. But it was playable

Terrible condition due to extremely wet and boggy conditions. Plugged balls in the middle of the fairway. Course was unplayable therefore overall experience and value for money was very poor.
George

Again boggy and wet in places, but the volume of rain the past few months warrants that completely. That being said, conditions were far better on the fairways on the Derby compared with the PGA.
George

Although the fairway conditions were poor and boggy, considering the amount of rain that we have had, it was still far better than many other courses we`ve played recently. That being said the greens were imaculate (on both courses)
John

Very boggy under foot. Lost a lot of balls due to them plugging into the ground. Course layout was boring and plain.
Grant
✓3 Apr 2024
The bar was set very high having played the Brabazon on day one. Terry was fantastic on the 1st Tee box(we had him on day one also) he kindly informed us not to expect the same conditions as the Brabazon. Greens were great, walking the course was extremely difficult, very soft and muddy under foot, loosing balls in the fairway for being plugged didn't help, overall finishing of the trip slightly down. Had we had known this information at the start we probably would have played the courses in a different order to finish on a high.
Grant
✓3 Apr 2024
This course lived up to our expections, picturesque, very fast greens, and would love to play it again knowing how to play it now lol. Nice little touches around the course regarding Ryder cup history and the half way house had a fantastic sausage roll.

The course was sodden and we lost balls on a number of fairways. There were times when the water levels were over the shoes and we ended up with wet feet. One of my playing buddies injured himself when his foot gave way due to the condition of the ground. In all honesty the course should have been closed.
Steve
✓28 Mar 2024
It rained heavily the night before and it was carry only. One person couldn’t carry so didn’t play. The course was very wet and in my opinion unplayable, we should have walked off by the 6th really but carried on which didn’t make the round very enjoyable. When we finished it was explained that we could have been given adverse weather voucher for a return game, but wasn’t told this before hand. It wasn’t a good finish to enjoyable three days, waiting a reply from the belfry regarding the pga course
Steve

Lots of water hazards and longer than I’m used too. Again weather was good which made the experience great

Considering this was the lesser course compared to brabazon, enjoyed this round more, the fairways were not cut at all though which was very disappointing. Good course
Alex
✓26 Mar 2024
Condition of the course very poor, very underwhelming considering the reviews I’ve read, just expected more. The winter we’ve had had obviously played a part but the greens were still fast just looked battered. Can’t really properly judge it until you play it in summer. Do not go before may.

again very wet and the standards of this course were a lot lower than the Brabazon and felt like it was just a course that had been added to cater for the PGA with them being based there.

Kieran
✓4 Mar 2024
As with the PGA National, The Brabazon was also waterlogged and practically unplayable. The starter did say prior to tee off that we could have a refund for the golf, if we wanted due to the level of water on the course, but as we were there, and had traveled a good distance, we decided to give it a go. It's a shame as the Brabazon does look an amazing course, but having it open in those conditions, doesn't make for an enjoyable experience. Again the feedback was that the course has been struggling for due to the level of rainfall recently, and ti main have been an idea to provide this information prior to traveling, to allow us to make an informed decision. I fully appreciate weather plays huge part in golf and you play the course as you find it, but that's on the assumption that the course is actually playable.
Kieran
✓4 Mar 2024
Course was practically unplayable. Fairways were waterlogged and we lost numerous balls on the fairways with balls plugging. We were told at the pro shop on arrival that all local courses were closed, and it was obvious pretty quickly, that this course should have been closed as well. We were also told that the course had been like this for some time (due to constant rainfall) and as we had traveled some distance, it would have been nice to have this information prior to making the journey, so we could make an informed decision.
David

This course is amazing. We started on the back nine (shotgun start) and was so much more impressed than the previous day on the PGA. It got even better in our opinion on the front nine some of the holes are just stunning however again with it being November conditions we’re far from ideal and it was very boggy. Greens were great though all things considered.
James
✓28 Nov 2023
It’s hard to judge based on the amount of rain we’ve had. The course was very boggy in areas and the greens had just been sanded so weren’t running particularly nice at all however at the end of November not sure what to expect. I would say the course did not wow us at all and probably couldn’t pick any particular hole as a standout.

The course was very wet and some fairway lies were unplayable. The bunkers had not been raked for some time and were rock solid. It was not a pleasant experience.
Collin
✓21 Nov 2023
Very disappointed with the presentation of this iconic course. The bunkers were rock solid with divots in them and some of the fairways were like a swamp and unplayable. You literally lost your ball on the fairway amongst the leaves and/or buried in the mud.
Peter

This course was impressive and all maintained unlike the PGA course. It however has the same issues relating to 5 mins gap between groups leading to relentless waiting to pay each shot for the group ahead to play the course. No mater how good the course was it was totally spoiled as it took close to 6 hours to complete, very disappointing aspect and totally unnecessary. The money grabbing is soo evident here. Will not be returning and will advise others who are thinking of doing so about our experiences.
Peter
✓13 Nov 2023
This course was presented in an extremely poor condition and it felt like it had not been properly maintained over a long period of time, the owners should be ashamed. The semi rough and fairways were non existent due to lack of regular cutting, balls were not only difficult to find but easily lost on the fairway which is just totally unacceptable. The time gaps of 5mis between groupings is way to short and you are have consistently have to wait until the group ahead has moved on before paying their shot as are they. Time spent looking for balls on fairway was bad enough but on semi rough just unacceptable, a lot of lost balls as a direct consequence, and wasted time. 5 and half hours to play this neglected course totally spoiled the golf and expectations it felt like we were taken for mugs. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE TOTAL RIP OFF

Last minute change to not allow trolleys despite being allowed the day before caused a few issues running round trying to find a carry bag. Tee shots were plugging on the fairway so no run at all so a lot of the Par 4s were not reachable so made it hard work. 5h 15m to get round which is too long a round.
Ian
✓31 Oct 2023
Greens were good and fast but fairways were not very well maintained with little definition between fairways and semi rough

I have played the Brabazon 5 times and for a high handicap golfer it is still an amazing challenge to walk in the footsteps of golfing greats. I brought my son along for his 27th birthday treat,although he hasn't been playing the game for long he absolutely loved it, a great first experience for him and another for me, will be back next year.
John
✓25 Oct 2023
It is my 5th time playing the PGA and considering the weather the course had experienced earlier that week it was in great condition, trollies and buggies were not allowed but for a small hire fee me and my son got carry bags, enjoyable as always credit to all the greens staff in keeping it playable in the toughest of circumstances.

Its the BRABAZON !!! OMG..I did not want this round to end, I was quite sad and yet exhilarated to walk off the 18th green at the end,knowing where I had just played 18 holes. Everything about this course is amazing, it's challenging in every respect, no matter your skill level and yet exciting and fun to play. The greens, fairways and tee boxes were all in superb condition. One thing though...AVOID THE ROUGH, holy crap but it is hard to get any sort of ball control out of it.
Timothy
✓28 Aug 2023
Loved every minute playing this course, an inland links course that keeps you guessing all the way round, and yes, damned hard haha !! It was occasionally a bit slow but the wait times just meant you got to sit back ( I had a buggie ) and enjoy some spectacular scenery and remember where you were. This course was in excellent condition in every respect. I cannot wait t play it again.
Timothy
✓28 Aug 2023
A really nice course to play, I would love to have another go at it. The tee boxes were just right, nice and even,the fairways were pretty good too. The greens however, were excellent, hard and fast, and once I got used to them, fantastic to play on.

Very nice course layout and design. There were many holes that made you think hard about how best to play them. Glad I got to play it twice. Inland links courses generally lack the scenery of a coastal links course. This one was no different. Greens very well maintained and very quick. Tee boxes less so. Regularly found tee off positions on sloping and uneven lies.
Stuart
✓21 Jul 2023
Lesser of the 3 courses, but made for a nice warm up round. Nice if unspectacular and a bit forgettable.
Stuart
✓21 Jul 2023
This course is good. Unfortunately when you compare the overall experience to similarly “elite” venues it falls a bit short: there is a warm up facility- but you have to pay extra. Having booked and paid for the warm up facility online, I arrived to discover that they didn’t actually maintain the online booking process and there were no bays available. Starter welcome was ok. At all other courses of similar reputation (price) I have received some sort of welcome pack/pouch - nothing of the sorts here. The pace of play felt slightly slower than expected for the front 9, but encountering a 5 group pile up at the halfway house resulted in a 40 min wait while it cleared. This has to be monitored/managed better by the “ranger” - who we never saw at any point. Condition of the course was excellent considering the traffic that goes through it daily, but regularly found myself on sloping and very uneven lies ON THE TEE BOX.
David

Tom
✓16 Jul 2023
The Brabazon is on most people’s bucket list to play and it did not disappoint! Unfortunately the weather was very poor and we played in extremely wet conditions however the course held up very well! Again a tricky course but you also had the feeling you could attack it although the conditions certainly hindered. We will definitely be back to play the course in the sunshine as I’m sure it will be even more amazing in decent conditions.
Tom
✓16 Jul 2023
We had a disappointing start when we went to collect our buggies we were told that 8 buggies were broken so we were given complementary motorcaddies. It was a nice gesture but after most of us had spent nearly 3 hours in the car getting to the belfry and we saw a huge corporate group go off with all their buggies it was a little hard to accept. However when some buggies returned the staff did send some out and approximately half our group of 16 played the last 9 holes or so in a buggy. Moaning part over, The course was in great condition and played very well. It was obviously testing but you also had the feeling you could get after it! I would definitely be back to play the PGA National course. The starter Terry was also very informative and helpful! A great first course to start our trip!

We played here two weeks before the British Masters so it was in excellent condition. A huge amount of prep work was being done for the tournament but it didn't affect our enjoyment at all. It was so enjoyable to follow in the steps of golfing greats and all 18 of us had a wonderful time.

Clearly a lot of foot traffic on this course, and still better than the Derby course. Tee boxes need work as most very uneven. Greens weren't in greatest of shapes either. Buggies at 50 seems steep, but captive audience.

✓15 May 2023
Bland, forgettable, few stand out holes apart from the most boring par 3 ever, the 11th, and the joke of an 18th. My GPS watch clearly had the old 18th green stored in it but it's now a 6 iron and a flick, which was ideal as I couldn't wait to get off in spite of playing well which is rare....long walks between greens and tees and signs to next tee non existent, would have been OK in a buggy but as so wet still even in mid May, no buggies so a tortuos walk made for a slow round. Fairways really long with no definition, like playing from semi rough, which with winter rules in place, made it ok for higher 'caps but not golfers used to better, tighter fairways. A few blind/semi-blind tee shots not ideal for golfers playing for the first time ie 14th hole being a prime example. Greens rolled well though. Bring your own drinks or be prepared to get your trousers taken down at the half way house....
Jeremy
✓15 May 2023
Range isn't close to any course so be prepared in advance. Fairways in need of a cut and some bunkers poor due to recent rain, hit and miss in the bunkers, some were OK, some unplayable mud heaps, same on the PGA National. Still really only 2 standout holes, rest are a little meh to be honest. I drove the 10th which was something to cheer about and I also managed to not be rinsed for a £3.50 bottle of water at the half way house which perhaps is harder to achieve!
Richard
✓15 May 2023
Condition better than PGA National but considering the time of year it was very disappointing. Except a few iconic holes it is a standard parkland course and not worth the hype or money Highlight is the sausage role in the halfway house

Despite the 5.5 hour round, and playing in the pouring rain, the course was a great challenge and good fun. The weather made it harder but the greens held up well and ran smoothly.

What a course! Weather was fantastic. Sunny and calm, so that helped. The course is challenging because of the water and amount of bunkers dotted around. The greens were just superb.

If you love playing golf I certainly recommend that you take on the challenge of the Brabazon!

Very tough conditions. Windy and parts of the course boggy. Alot of rain overnight meant buggies were not in use. So, a bit unlucky there. Greens were very fast. Lets say it was challenging in those conditions.

The condition for this time of year was exceptional. Although I marked the difficulty of the course as average; in fairness I would class it as average-to-difficult.

Trolleys allowed on course today, greens were in better condition than the brabazon only because of the essential maintenance taking place, which is understandable
Michael
✓26 Mar 2023
Due to amount of rain in previous days it was carry only, but condition of course was good considering this
Charles
✓23 Mar 2023
A more enjoyable course for the mid-high handicapper. And for me, the ground condition was more playable than the Brabazon (for March). Thoroughly enjoyed the round.

Ground conditions not at peak but that’s to be expected in March. Other than that, a beautiful course.
Darren

Again very disappointed the course was open and had to play in the condition the course was in,Standing water all over the fairways,couldn’t take a shot with all the water,very disappointing,only played some of the holes before walking off.
Darren
✓15 Mar 2023
Was looking forward to playing here but With the driving rain and wind the course should not have been open,very disappointing we had to play in them conditions,we also had to carry(no trolleys allowed)two of the guys found it very difficult,we didn’t play all the course. Over all a disappointing experience.
Peter
✓14 Mar 2023
Very wet underfoot with standing water on fairways. 50mph gusting wind and rain, not a great day for golf. Carry only which given age was a task, took only 5 clubs and relied on partner's bag to borrow "clubs". Greens though were in excellent condition for the time of year. Value for money yes given time of year!

What an absolute treat, thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience of this stunning layout. Definitely the main attraction of the whole resort, a beautiful beast to say the least!!!!
Scott
✓8 Mar 2023
The on course greens were outstanding although not having a practice putting Green open on the whole resort was an issue. Given the time of year the course condition was fair, nowhere near as well manicured as the Brabazon but playable. If you’re a player that likes to see the bottom of the pin on approach shots then this is not the course for you, most of the greens are raised and undulating!!

The course was in poor condition with the fairways and tees being the worse. It was actually easier to play out of the rough as the fairways had little or no grass on them. The greens were good and true.

By far the best course, bunkers were tough but a challenge rather than a hinderance, greens were stunning and the course overall was stunning.
Mo
✓2 Aug 2022
Too much water around the holes and also unrealistic bunkers to get out of, had to go sideways, plus the greens and approaches were covered in geese poo which when there is water on nearly every hole makes it an even harder experience, geese prints and poo in the bunkers too, we would have liked to have a go at the course but found it not a nice experience
Mo

The round took us 5 hours 30 minutes had to wait every hole
Roy
✓18 Jul 2022
As you'd expect this course is not for the faint hearted extremely difficult greens plenty of water and bunkers. Although there were marshals play was very slow due to 4 ball groups holding smaller groups ups and not having the decency to let them play through to speed up play
Roy
✓18 Jul 2022
As you'd expect on a links course lots of bunkers and fast fairways, unfortunately a large number of people couldn't seem to be bothered raking the bunkers after playing out so expect some horrible lies

Chris
✓19 Jun 2022
Manicured even on the edges so "no long grass which they could be bothered to cut". It did make it harder to lose a golf ball. The greens were very good. Presentation was 10 times better than PGA - and should we ever return may ask to solely play The Brabazon. Probably all helped by a tournament just finishing before we played & a big corporate event the following day.
Chris
✓19 Jun 2022
Long grass each side of fairways where you will lose balls. Main part of course is un-manicured with no wow factor. The greens were patchy and poor compared to what I am used to playing on all over Surrey. The 17th is a nothing hole; on 18th beware those with GPS as the green has been foreshortened to make way for a bar/childrens area which looks un-used (maybe due to Covid) but can that excuse spoiling what was a good finishing hole - our view was to play the last two holes off white tee and keep left off 18th tee as water/pond on right is long to carry.

Very hard course to play eapecially in high winds. Obviously time isnt put into this course as much as the brabazon. Half way hut shut just as we arrived at 17:00. I wouldnt play this course again.

A fantastic course, have played before a few years ago and the conditions were perfect! Lots of water to contend with and certainly a huge challenge, even for a single figure handicap player. Awesome and the knowing the history made it worth every penny
Mark
✓14 Jun 2022
Tough course being a new golfer but absolutely stunning and felt very lucky to be playing it.. some simply stunning holes with water features galore. Of course tried to drive the famous 10th for the experience but not quite successful on this occasion but I’ll be back for sure to take it on once more. Have been playing two years and this is the best course I’ve played on so will return sooner rather than later.

Great course with bunkers placed exactly where you don't want them. Testing greens that are fast with undulations and grain that really need a careful examination before pulling the trigger. The bunkers caused me a few problems as well as coming across many that were not raked so poor lies. That is my only grumble. Loved it though.

Lovely enjoyable difficult course modelled on a links course , fairways and greens in excellent condition the only thing for me that let it down were the bunkers which were very difficult to get out of due to the very thin layer of sand so found it hard to get under my ball which kept finding the bunkers , but that’s a very small moan !overall excellent experience
Tom
✓11 Apr 2022
Sadly after the Brabazon. Playing the PGA is truly disappointing. Feels the money has been spent on the main 18 and the PGA sits like a little norther receiving the hand me down clothes.... Fairways weren't cut, the course is poorly manicured... In fairness the greens were true. But it's a fairly dull course without much excitement. Stick to playing 2 rounds at the Brabazon.
Tom
✓11 Apr 2022
It's the only reason you go to the Belfry.... Its a forgiving course with some memorable holes. Its a good show piece and worthy of a visit.
andrew
✓10 Apr 2022
thought the layout was superb and greens great for early season. lost plenty of balls as lots of water at front of greens. didnt play the 16th hole as exited 15th green to left down the path and the next teebox was the 17th hole which was down to rubbish signage and it was a long walk back to 16th teebox and course was busy. The rain and wind arrived as we prepared to play the 10th which i was looking forward to greatly. i hate golfing in the rain and lost 2 balls off the tee into water.

Daryle

The course more than lived up to our expectations, it was challenging in places, as it should be but wasn’t overly punitive if you missed the fairways. The greens were in excellent condition and ran very true. For better players wanting to shoot low scores then pin placement make shot execution vital.

This was a good test of golf..course was in good condition but had, had a lot of traffic, winter rules in operation so we could place on fairways which was good, greens were fast and true..bunkers again not been raked, this could be due to pace of play worries; had to use one tee mat on 14th; but still very enjoyable game..we were paired up with two others on the day, but that was to be expected no issues with that..so overall a great experience.

Course had, had a lot of traffic..some tees were very rough...greens were good ..but bunkers were not raked; but this was down to on Course previous golfers playing in front, who don't appreciate or respect the course and other golfers. But overall we played as a two ball and it was played at a good pace.

4 hrs and 46 - brutal course - what a setting - unbelievable this course was - greens like saucers - very fast - accurate but not forgiving - water and burns and bunkers everywhere - long course with so much variety - brilliant
Dan

Good set up with tee off times and short shuttle bus to Tee box - good talk with steward after speeds off greens -

It was a decent course but when we go again I’d probably just book the pga and brabazon. It wasn’t a bad course but when you compare it to the above 2 there’s a huge gap.
Ross

Few of us are coming back to watch the British masters in may, so it was so good to play this course which was unbelievable, it runs the 2010 course close in Newport. Can’t wait to back and watch the pros do it, me and a few others drove the famous 10th so it made our weekend.

Group of 16 went and were all buzzing at how fast the greens were and how challenging the course was. Felt like you were on a proper course compared to what we play at our clubs

From the pro shop check in to the first tee is a short walk. Starter/Marshall on the day was excellent. Gave us a brief history of the course outlined some of the great events, gave us some brief guidelines to follow and told us about the facilities. Course is long with considerable amount of water and greens very quick. Course was in excellent condition and again lots of ground staff seen working around the course.Excellent experience
Steve
✓27 Mar 2022
After booking in in the pro shop which was easy we were taken by mini bus to the first tee. Staff were again very good briefly described the course and pin positions.Course is flat with wide open fairways with no real signature hole.Our group thought it was a reasonable course to start our break but probable forgettable. The course itself was in good condition given the weather a few weeks before. Plenty of ground staff seen working around the course.When we finished the mini bus was there to collect us. A nice touch was that we could leave our bags and trollies in a secure lock up overnight.

With a little bit of love and effort this could be a top track. You can tell all the investment goes into The Brabazon which is a shame but understandable I guess. The greens were very good much better that the Brabazon. Tee boxes were a bit scruffy similar to the Brabazon and plenty of areas where a bit of tidying up would have made a better impression. Overall enjoyed this course much more. One point to note, we had a single player attempt to join us on the 15th who had pushed in seemingly. He said he was playing the loop? He was wearing tracksuit bottoms and had airpods in which seemed strange - he then asked to join the 2 ball in front who also declined - Marshalls where are you..?? Clearly this person had not paid a fee and had simply walked onto the course.
Mark
✓25 Mar 2022
The course, which I have had the pleasure of playing many times was in dreadful condition, there was sand everywhere and areas around the greens and fairways were just simply scruffy. Tee boxes were terrible and uneven, tee pots had been placed so close together to protect the tee that the area you had to drive from was worn with plenty of divots. Greens were in poor condition so overall a very disappointing day on the Brabazon. It didnt help that the course marshall failed to speed up the 4 ball in front who had lost 2 holes in the first 6. What is the point of having a marshall if he or she is not going to move play on when it is frustratingly slow? A 25 minute wait to tee off at hole 10 was another frustration!
Rob
✓24 Mar 2022
All they seemed to be interested in was getting it ready for some comp in May, sand everywhere greens bumpy only 1 rake per bunker No buggies even though we had pre booked one they should have told us beforehand 1 of our party could not play as he struggles to walk, Beer £6.55 per pint every thing was a RIP off one of our party stayed the night before and had to pay £160 B&B Would def not reccomend to visit here.

As always the starters are great. Knowing how on it the course marshalls are during the summer we were amazed to not see any during our entire round especially when there were two groups in front playing texas scrabble (very badly) holding us up on EVERY shot from first tee shot to our last. Had we not have been playing the Brabazon could have quite easily walked in.
Clyve
✓22 Mar 2022
When we first arrived at the shop we were very disappointed to find out no trolleys were allowed this time of year on the course. I suppose I could have checked with the Belfry but this maybe something you could notify before we leave. The fact we had to hire pencil bags when we all have carry bags at home had we known. The front nine was very slow due to delayed stay because of fog. This couldn't be helped of course. We did manage to move a little quicker back nine.

a decent course for a beginner, nice and open. Harder than what we were told, but that was maybe because of the wind and plugging of balls but that is just because of the time of the year. The greens were a little hit and miss. Overall a great start to the trip

Overall the course was in good condition for the time of year. However, after being sent information the winter course preparation would start on the following day 16th Nov. Drain lines were being cut and sand applied to a number of fairways and semi-rough areas during play, which spoiled the whole experience of playing the Brabzon course

Very good course in very good condition, to be fair and I'm not being cynical, it was like rich man, poor man after playing the Brabazon, if I'd not played the Brabazon then the Derby course in my opinion would have being like any players home course, not to difficult for the mid handicap players but challenging for the higher handicapper, I still thoroughly enjoyed playing it though.
Ken
✓15 Sep 2021
I never thought I'd get the opportunity to play this course but "wow" I'm so thankful I did, the fairways are like greens, the greens are so fast it's unbelievable, the pace was perfect, its well Marshalled, its difficult, it is fabulous, the course of the Pro's.

An easier course to navigate than the Brabazon but still quite tricky, Terry the starter said don't go in the rough, you might find your ball but you won't be able to play it, he was right. Described as a links course and actually it played a lot like one and looked a lot like one, enjoyed it.
Simon
✓14 Sep 2021
Absolutely loved it, a real challenge and very scenic. The signature holes were great but I really loved the third. I have said good value for money as I am taking this as an overall package, we paid £378 for two nights in the hotel and three rounds on all three courses, not sure I would want to pay £185 for a round on the Brabazon.
Simon

A lovely course to kick off with, the pace of play was too slow but I guess that was to be expected as it was so busy.

Fantastic course. Well worth the wait until the 3rd day of our trip. Felt it the right call to play this one last, the others would have been a bit underwhelming if playing afterwards. If I come back, I’d definitely pay the difference to get on here more then once. Loved it.
Kevin

James
✓11 Sep 2021
Absolutely brutal test of golf but if you play well you can get it around. Greens were the best I’ve ever played on. Pin positions were a hit too severe and especially the signature hole the 10th was back left and literally impossible to get to for us mere mortals. I had to putt away from the hole even though I was on the green. Also 18 was back left which took some of the fun out as I had about 120 foot of putt and ended up 4 putting. Still an amazing course and such an iconic place to play.
James
✓11 Sep 2021
Course is a very hard test of golf and with the hot weather it played so much harder. More grass on the fairways would of helped. Pace of play was slow but again down to the weather and course conditions.
James

Played the course twice but the second round got rained off after 12 holes. Course is a fair test but just a bit more work needed on bunkers and surrounding the greens.

Athan
✓18 Aug 2021
Greens could have been a little better on this one for the price of the round. Some great holes visually with a good mix of challenging and easy holes. Rough a lot more of a feature here - more links style layout. Disappointing that they shortened the 18th to make way for an outdoor bar area in the sake of more money, making the hole far less interesting
Athan

Much easier than expected and holes are a little “samey” but not bad for the weakest course. Wouldn’t like to pay top dollar for it though
Andrew
✓16 Aug 2021
Lovely course if let down by the last two holes which are a touch underwhelming. Personally not far off as good as the Brabazon and certainly better value. These two are clearly a cut above the Derby which whilst fine and well maintained is nothing to write home about.
Andrew
✓16 Aug 2021
First time playing the Brabazon and very nice course. Generally course conditions were excellent and up to what you would expect. Course is very interesting and you have to plot your way round. Our group has range of 8 golfers from single figures to 36 play 3 times a yearers and all enjoyed the course. Would say that compared to the PGA it is a touch overpriced as PGA is better value for money.

This is an excellent course, relatively forgiving fairways however if you are too wide the rough is very long and you will be lucky to find your ball!

This course is a gem. Breaks into a links style after a few holes and with the wind up it played like a true links. Only complaint would be the shortening of the last hole. Whilst it looks good the course deserves a better finishing hole. Only a small complaint as the round was very enjoyable. Lovely course.

What was disappointing was the fact I was told by booking was for 9.40 onwards for 7 tee times only to be told by the belfry staff that your golf travel had spread the tee times over 2hrs which myself and the rest of the party were not happy with, as your golf travel stated we were all together when the booking was made, I may find it hard to use your golf travel again because of this.

As per the first day when we played the Brabazon, having stayed on an overnight stay for two, to play the Brabazon and the PGA and 5 minutes before Tee off, when we attended, the starting marshals hut, we found we were being paired up with another 2 Ball, to make a 4 Ball, who were complete strangers to us. I think this is very wrong, unfair and a serious health risk forcing strangers together given the current COVID-19 Pandemic situation and not advising this was to be the case, intention of the Club.

Very disappointed due to three reasons. 1. We stayed on an overnight stay for two, to play the Brabazon and the PGA and 5 minutes before Tee off, when we attended, the starting marshals hut, we found we were being paired up with another 2 Ball, to make a 4 Ball, who were complete strangers to us. I think this is very wrong, unfair and a serious health risk forcing strangers together given the current COVID-19 Pandemic situation and not advising this was to be the case, intention of the Club. Also, Due to stacking from the 15th to the 18th we were being rushed, by marshals despite no slow play whatsoever, due to over tee subscription, we were being hassled, to speed up although, we were not slow, the Marshals saying they were struggling, to get everyone behind us, in before they lost the light. At one point they had us tee off, hide under trees for others behind to tee up and play onto our fairway and subsequently we had a false 8 ball situation, as I say stacking play to get people moved on. Ruined the round and the experience. Finally, albeit I understand you are going to not have perfect conditions in Autumn 🍂 🍂 But some of the greens really were spoilt by too many leaves 🍁 🍁 interfering with play, particularly the iconic 10, Very frustrating indeed.

The fairways wasn’t looked after very well and one of the greens was half dig up but other that that a fairly good course not as well looked after as the brabazon or pga. Tee times could of been further apart was waiting 5 mins on every hole before we could tee off.

Very disappointed ☹️ Are tee booking was for 2pm , we were informed on arrival that we would not be able to complete our round due to speed of play and sunset ,hence are round finished on the 15th green , contact through the all process has been poor . The Belfry said that YGT said they had informed me of this , you didn’t.

Mark

The course is definitely an inland links experience and requires links type shots. Plenty of run on the fairways, bunkers positioned perfectly to protect where necessary. The greens were average and obvious signs they have an issue with leather jackets or something. They ran true but after the Brabazon no comparison.

I played this course the day after the Brabazon. Unfortunately it does not compare. The condition was a lot worse than the Brabazon and even though I called both The Belfry and your golf travel and was assured no temporary greens or course maintenance the 18th is not in play. The fairways were so waterlogged I lost a few balls that plugged in the middle of the fairway. The course should not have been open for play but i am glad it was. The greens were good and for the most part so were the tee boxes. The fairways had not been cut for some time and so were more like first cut of rough. The fairways are very wide indeed. I played from the back tees and that does make the course a bit of a challenge but for the most part you can swing wildly without too much fear of getting into trouble. It does make the par threes quite long especially into the wind as i was playing it. The course is ruined by a large power line running through it. I imagine in summer the course would be a lot easier than the Brabazon. While I may have been a bit scathing the course is a lovely walk and offers some great holes. I am sure anyone playing it in better conditions will enjoy the round it just is not nearly as good as its more famous brother.
Tim
✓15 Jan 2020
The greens staff do a wonderful job in keeping the course in good condition considering winter conditions with lots of rain. The course was water logged in places but the greens were excellent considering the time of year. I played off the yellow tees in a shotgun start. Some tees were moved to where I would imagine white tees would be and some forward to where red tees were. The course from the back would be a tough challenge but the fairways are reasonably wide. I was disappointed in that there were no range balls included and the range is rather far away.
Dave
✓13 Nov 2019
I think this is the hardest course of all the 3 at the belfry. The brabazon is the most eye catching course with it’s water features and bunkers. But the pga is longer and undulated with massive bunkers, and unforgiving greens.
Dave

my opinion for the Course is not real, because the Course was so wet - not normal conditions. in Germany and Spain this Course was closed because the weather. i think we were the only stupid guys to Play the course under this conditions. "the whole Course was temporary water" . really the whole Course..... but it was a once in a Lifetime Event and we enjoy the atmosphere from the Ryder Cup

Sasha
✓24 Sep 2019
An excellent golf course with water on most holes and one that requires both distance and precision. The greens were superb and fast, with many double tiers and if you find yourself with a downhill putt, best of luck! The 10th is gorgeous, but can’t see how one can go for it as the landing area is so tight, so more like a nine iron off the tee instead. We were the second group out and never saw anyone on the course, in front or behind us, so pace was really good. The staff were great and the facilities are top class too. Will definitely be back!
Kevin
✓4 Sep 2019
After playing the Brabazon this was definitely a step down. Tee boxes were uneven on some holes and it just felt like it wasn’t as well kept as the Brabazon. The greens however were excellent and very challenging. A tough course, enjoyable to play but not in the same league as the previous day.
Kevin
✓4 Sep 2019
12 of us played, very mixed abilities so did a better ball format. Made the course extremely enjoyable and playable for the not so talented in the groups!

Very disappointed that the handicap system not applying. No one checked or asked for handicap certificates. Paired on Sunday on the PGA course with someone who had only played golf since March.

A great course but probably too difficult for the average (15 handicap golfer) Accuracy was at a premium and the rough was very unforgiving. Some 30 balls lost in my group of 8 players. Not a complaint, but a very difficult and demanding course unless you are very straight.
Danny

Terrific, from the starters briefing all the way through to the 18th green. No queues, no waiting and the course itself was an absolute dream to play, all our group were raving about it.

In comparison to the Brabazon not a patch, but it does make for enjoyment on a more relaxed basis.

4 hours 45 to play this round of golf, course ranger was absolutely terrible didn’t even try to move people on! Way to many 2 balls when stats on website when you play this course you play 3 or 4 balls! very slow and long day.
Stephen
✓21 Aug 2019
Behind schedule by 40 minutes, when waiting to go to first tee via taxi noticed we got put with a random bloke who we didn’t know. When got to first tee as we were a 3 ball but then put into a 4 ball noticed there was a lot of 2 balls in front what made it very slow and can’t understand why the bloke who joined with us never got put with them.

Great course, just a bit oppressive in terms of length. How many 420+ par fours can you take? Gorgeous condition and very challenging.
Ali
✓15 Aug 2019
Loved it. Very playable for average golfers from the yellow tees. But they allow some very poor golfers to play the courses, so it can take a while to get round. Fairways excellent, rough not so long as to make it difficult to find one's ball. Greens quick but far too many unrepaired pitch marks!
Ali
✓15 Aug 2019
Really enjoyed the course. Yellow tees were well-worn; obviously taken a hammering from the traffic compared to white n red tees. Quite a quick pace til the last 3 holes where there was a long wait - Two 2 ball groups ahead of us waiting on the 16th tee, but they didn't join up.

Similar to our experience on The Brabazon, play is slow, golf etiquette is nonexistent, basic maintenance hasn't been done, the sad part is the course has matured nicely and has a genuine links feel to it
Damian
✓15 Jul 2019
I have been fortunate enough to play The Brabazon several times and it's sad to see the deterioration. The sheer numbers of people playing have inevitably taken their toll. Maintenance is nothing like I have seen before, bunkers are unraked, green surrounds are scruffy and the greens themselves, whilst putting okay didn't look great.

Fantastic. Not a bad word to say about the Brabazon. A wonderful mix of accessible and extremely challenging holes to keep you interested whilst reminding you that you are on a world-class course. Every hole had something about it and with water on 16/18 holes it is a stern test. Hole 10 is a delight as are thee holes back towards the hotel over water on 9 and 18. Greens were quick despite the heavy rain and deserved the ultimate respect. Fairways were a delight to hit off and the bunkers are positioned excellently to punish even the slightest mistake. This was my first Championship standard course and didn’t think I was totally out of my depth. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the Brabazon and could well make it an annual trip.
Adam
✓6 Mar 2019
Good preparation for the Brabazon course. The greens were a little disappointing and very sandy but the fairways were in good condition. Every hole is interesting and requiring of thought to navigate. The bus to the tee box adds to the class and anticipation of the first tee shot. An enjoyable course for the mid-high handicappers and a perfect warm up for the Brabazon the following day.
Malcolm
✓13 Feb 2019
I enjoy this course more than the the first one we played maybe as it had dried out a bit but it just seemed a lot easier. Some holes were narrow so again you had to think about the shot you did, if it went into the rough you lost it so you had to make sure it was on the fairway but overall throughly enjoyed our two days would recommend playing here.
Malcolm
✓13 Feb 2019
This is a thinking mans course as it was windy and very boggy due to the rain etc it must have had. You had to play to the conditions on the day but being an 18 handicap I throughly enjoyed it it brought out the best of me on the day.

The course was abit of a let down but probably because we played the Brabazon the day before which set high expectations. The greens had not long been hollow-tined so abit ropey but in all, a fair course for beginners. For top end golfers, I'd stick to the PGA or Brab.
John

What an amazing golf course. We got lucky with the weather this time of year, the sun was out and not too chilly. The course was in immaculate condition and the starters were very helpful keeping the pace of play for tee offs.

✓26 Oct 2018
In better condition than the pga. But that wasn’t hard. It was a good experience to play there. Was a very slow round. Even the four ball in front phones the pro shop to get a martial on the course. As there was none to be seen. We were 50 mins behind schedule according to our buggy. Overall bit disappointing experience as I got this deal for my Dads birthday. We won’t be going back any time soon.
Liam
✓26 Oct 2018
A disappointing 1st day. They had just holotined the greens which were awful. It was a fairly slow round as the course was very full. That wasn’t what hovered us tho. It was just the greens were terrible. Worse I’ve ever played.

Lee
✓11 Oct 2018
Course was very disappointing. Ok layout although very tight with holes very close with many near misses and fore shouts. Green just hollow-tined, with what appeared no sand or rolling treatment so they were awful. Seems very late for time of year to do this with little chance to recover so they we absolutely awful. Fairways were very average at best, with many bare patches and tees were uneven and needed some TLC. Didn’t see a drinks buggy all the way round! Not a Belfry experience course...
Lee
✓11 Oct 2018
Good challenging course, but pace of play extremely slow - a lot of very high handicap golfers out on a challenging course. Greens superb but tees not the best (mostly put us off reds) and some “scabby “ areas on the course you wouldn’t expect on fairways particularly. No drinks buggy at all
Michael
✓8 Oct 2018
Not much I can say about this course, best I have played bar none. Very picturesque and also difficult like I said in previous I am not a good golfer (consistent anyway) the first tee is nerve racking with a big crowd wat hing but I nailed it - on the 18th but went on to make par but very enjoyable next stop the Brab 😬 Thanks again to the guys who helped us book it, brilliant as always and the text on the morning of my rounds wishing me a good round was a nice touch 👌🏻
Michael
✓8 Oct 2018
As a not very good golfer this is ideal for me however the greens are in very poor condition, thy look like a 4G green very rubber and very little grass makes putting even harder as the ball has no natural surface to roll on. I did enquire about the greens but was assured that there is no artificial surface anywhere at the belfry. If this is the case very very poor greens

A plain parkland course. Not too demanding. Disappointed we didn’t have any refreshments while playing. Good day though

Again the starter and the staff were really pleasant and helpful. Made for a great day. My son lost his wedge which was handed in on day 2 of our stay. The starter jumped in a buggy and delivered it to us on the 10 hole of the derby. How was that for going the extra mile? Much appreciated.

Condition was poor. Good layout though. The bus to the first tee is well organised. Wouldn't play this one again.

Cold north wind blew this day making the PGA the beast it can be. Punishing rough. Large undulating greens. Forget your handicap and grind out the best score you can. We had a buggy and were glad by the time we finished. A true test of golf

Excellent course, marshalled very well with an excellent and knowledgeable starter. Greens lighting, fairways excellent, an experience every golfer should try before they die.

We were sold a start time of 1450 28th September, played 14 on after sunset. Should not be selling at any more than twilight rate as round could not be completed on a busy course. Walked last two holes, horrible start to the weekend.

Very disappointed with the course. And would not travel to the belfry again to play this course. My council course is head and shoulders above it. Nothing special about it at all . the fairways were poor . covered in leaves and it made no impression on me at all. The othe 3 feel exactly the same . it felt like they added it on the back to increase revenue and live off the name of the ryder cup . very poor
