THE BELFRY 4*
The Belfry is renowned as one of the world's most prestigious golfing resorts, having hosted the Ryder Cup on four occasions, but there is more on offer than just the Brabazon.
Brabazon Course
The Brabazon Course is steeped in Ryder Cup history, having welcomed the European and American teams on no less than four occasions. Who could forget Sam Torrance's 18th hole heroics in 1985, or the jubilant Paul McGinley sinking the winning putt in 2002? These famous moments are what make the Brabazon so special, and should inspire every golfer to visit and experience that legacy. The course is also a regular stop for the European Tour's best, with the Quinn Insurance British Masters to be held again in late September 2008. This regular tournament golf ensures that the course is in fine condition throughout the year.
PGA National Course
The PGA National Course opened for business in 1997 to strengthen the Belfry's golfing resort and ease the traffic over the famous Brabazon. Since then the PGA has established a superb reputation of its own, hosting the Seniors European Open Tournament. The main feature of the course is the tremendous bunkering, designed to protect the large, undulating greens. Playing the first and last holes, you will be under the watchful gaze of those in the clubhouse, adding considerable pressure.
Derby Course
The Derby Course is the perfect complement to the Belfry's feature tracks, whose par-69 layout is an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all standards. The best hole is the 5th, where golfers must drive over the majestic oak that marks the middle of the fairway.
