With so many world class golf courses in England it is a hard task to name just one as the best in the country. Courses like the Old Course at Sunningdale, the West Course at Wentworth and the Hotchkin at Woodhall Spa certainly deserve to be considered but in a recent poll, readers of Going for Golf magazine have voted the Brabazon Course at The Belfry as the nations favourite.
Not only is the Brabazon Course a remarkable layout, it is also steeped in history and has had the honour of hosting no less than four Ryder Cups, the most recent of which saw Paul McGinley going for a dip in the lake after holing the winning putt! As well as seeing off competition to be named the favourite course in England, the Brabazon was also voted as the fourth best in the whole of Europe.
Situated just a mile from the M42 motorway and 10 miles from Birmingham International Airport, the Belfry is easily accessible from all over Europe and the famous Brabazon Course is not all it has to offer…
In addition to the Brabazon, The Belfry also boasts two more championship golf courses by the names of the PGA National and the Derby. The PGA National was opened in 1997 in an attempt to ease the flow of golfers who were all flocking to the Brabazon. Since its opening it has gone from strength to strength and has now forged a strong reputation of its own. The Derby Course is a less daunting prospect than the Brabazon and the PGA but it can still provide a test for even the most experienced of golfers. The Belfry is also home to the PGA of Great Britain and Ireland, PGA of Europe and the PGA National Training Academy.
Golfers visiting the Belfry won’t have to go too far to find a place to stay as the magnificent Belfry Hotel is on hand. With 324 guestrooms and 11 lavish suites to choose from guests are assured a more than comfortable stay. During time away from the world class golf courses, guests can make use of the extensive leisure facilities and spoil themselves by sampling the delights of the luxurious Aqua-Spa. With a whole host of top quality restaurants and bars on-site, a delicious meal and refreshing drink are never far away.
