Golf courses at The Belfry
Brabazon Course
Host to a record four Ryder Cups and countless European Tour events, The Brabazon is a great test of parkland golf. Always in immaculate condition with fantastic greens, the drama tends to happen at the short par-4 10th hole or the enticing 18th. Both have become part of Ryder Cup folklore with Seve’s historic drive onto the 10th, Sam Torrance’s famous putt to win the Cup on 18 in 1985, and Christie O’Connor’s majestic 2-iron across the lake on that same final hole.
PGA National Course
The PGA National is the only PGA branded golf course in England. A host to two European Tour Events, the golf course is well cared for all year round. The inland style of the PGA National Golf Course presents numerous challenges, including water hazards and strategically placed bunkers. Those that will triumph over the 18 holes will need great shot accuracy and a keen eye for reading the fast greens, making it a tough, but an enjoyable course for even the most consistent of golfers.
Derby Course
The Derby Golf Course is often overshadowed by its more famous sister golf courses. However, the 6099 yards, par-70 is an enjoyable golf course and one that players of all standards can thoroughly enjoy with several water hazards and well-designed risk and reward holes. Although not the longest course, The Derby still requires you to think your way around. The Derby makes a nice change to The Brabazon and PGA National golf courses when visiting the Belfry for a golfing break.
