Brabazon

Great deal at £60 to play this iconic course. Greens & many fairways were recently sanded but to be expected in jan, so great experience for this time of year. slick friendly check in.

Expensive considering conditions

We played at the end of January in surprisingly dry conditions. There was a significant amount of maintenance with being done on the fairways so they, understandably weren't ideal but the greens were excellent and the course layout superb, challenging and interesting. I felt £60 pet head was over the top given the work being undertaken as a "normal" round of golf want possible.

Not worth the money

Course was in a terrible condition…. Very wet and probably shouldn’t have been sent out…. Drives hitting fairways and then spending 5 minutes looking for a plugged ball…. In the fairway!!!!!! Greens the same!!!!! Greens were not in good shape at all and rough was up so far if you was 5 yards off the fairway you’d lose the ball as plugged in the rough so no chance of finding it… even with 4 players looking for it….. I know it’s winter golf but this was just a money making exercise

Brabazon

Played the Brabazon with my Son and Dad, the greens were in excellent condition and really challenging when reading them the line you thought you had was not not always the line you got which made them interesting, fairways were in fair condition , overall course looked as thought needed some investment to tidy things up. When we checked into the pro shop told to take ticket to starter to collect score cards etc- no starter at all so had to go back to clubhouse again to get scorecards- no real sence of occasion all other clubs have been fortunate enough to play at Glen Eagles, St Andrew's, Celtic Manor, Archerfields you really felt as though your were very welcome and it made the occasion.The Belfry felt you were a number you had paid your fee and get on with it which l felt a little disappointed by.The highlight of the round was my son (16 years old) drove the 10th green 10ft from the pin chipped on and putted for Birdie! What great golf days are all about making memories.

A bucket list course

Where would like to play as a Birthday Treat , I said to my pal as he approached a landmark birthday, mmm The Belfry , Brabazon. Great facilities , good shop with courteous helpful staff. Plenty of choices of bars etc to have lunch, which was served promptly and was well presented if a trifle overpriced . Course tough but in good condition , plenty of long carries over water. Starter was very helpful , friendly and courtesy. All in all a good venue

Brabazon @ The Belfrey

Really helpful and pleasant staff. Starter friendly and extremely helpful.
Course set up excellent, and in very good condition considering the volume of rain which had fallen in previous week!
Pace of play was extremely slow, I appreciate that they state 18 holes could take 41/2 hours.
However when there are 2 ball games holding up 4 ball games I find this unacceptable.
There were no on course marshalls to help improve the speed of play which is of concern at a venue such as this.

Beyond excellent

Do not have time to list all the superlatives in relation to our round of golf and overnight stay at the hotel.

Was lucky enough to attend a couple of the Ryder Cup matches here in the 80's... so this course holds some extremely fond memories.

Course in absolutely tip-top manicured condition. Starter and course marshal did a great job of introducing the course, its history and how best to play it for what was a very mixed handicap group.

Pace of play was perfect... no hold-ups as they adopt a 10-minute gap between tee times... unlike some other money-grabbing courses who go for 8 minutes to cram as many people on as possible and leave you standing for 5 minutes on every tee.

The standard of service in the hotel was equivalent to a top US hotel... nothing was too much trouble and the staff were extremely attentive and genuine in their desire to make your stay something you would remember positively.

The Brabazon Course still lives up to the iconic status it enjoys as the course that has hosted more Ryder Cups than any other.

We will be back next year.
