The Belfry is synonymous with the Ryder Cup. Through the past three decades, the resort in the middle of the English Midlands has hosted the event no less than four times, more than any other course in history. Designed by Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas, The Belfry’s magnificent Brabazon course is one of the finest inland tracks in all of Europe.
Opened in the late 1970’s, it quickly became renowned as an exceptional inland test, ideal for hosting major championships. Magnificent fairways and meticulous, lightning-fast greens offered a world-class stage and in 1985 the Ryder Cup arrived followed in rapid succession by repeat events in 1989, 1993 and 2002, not to mention regular European Tour matches.
Bought over by Goldman Sachs for £140 million in 2021, The Belfry is a 550acre full-service resort with 324 guest rooms, five restaurants, a spa plus multiple leisure amenities and remains one of the United Kingdom’s iconic golfing destinations. There are three courses on offer within The Belfry’s leafy surrounds as well as a state-of-the-art teaching facility. It is also headquarters to the British Professional Golfers Association.
Within the gates of the resort, The PGA National Golf Academy is the world’s first PGA branded Golf Academy reflecting The Belfry's dedication to the game. With a team of 20 PGA-qualified teaching professionals, it is continually developing its tuition programs to assist golfers to attain their highest levels of performance through a variety of one-off and residential packages.
Formerly a potato field, The Belfry makes an ideal resort break with three very different golf experiences – The PGA National, The Derby and its famed The Brabazon courses.
