The Belfry

Few English golf resorts carry the name recognition of The Belfry, sitting just outside Birmingham with easy motorway links and decades of championship history behind it. The Brabazon has staged multiple Ryder Cups and remains the star attraction, packed with risk-reward holes and prominent water hazards. The PGA National brings a tougher, more modern test, while The Derby offers a shorter, gentler warm-up round. Expect a busy, well-run resort with modern rooms, a spread of dining options from casual bars to a smarter restaurant, and a spa and leisure complex for downtime between rounds.
