History of the course is matched by the layout

A wonderful experience to play a course with several excellent holes and obvious signature holes that make the difference.

Infested with flies

Unable to play as there are clouds of flies everywhere , the semi is that long and yes I said semi that you have to be standing over your ball to see it! Which then as you can imagine produces slow and frustrating play. So unless you can play only fairways and greens and don’t mind flies in your eyes and mouths don’t bother and play somewhere else cheaper and more enjoyable.

Wow

It's pretty amazing and for the £60 fee isn't such an expensive day when you factor in you won't play a better course all year, loved it, awesome experience and the Belfry itself is a classy place.

Piece of history

Brilliant golf course and considering the recent rain was in superb nick. Greens were very good all round even though they were fairly soft again due to the rain.
Friendly staff and a club shop which is more like a golf superstore.
An absolute must for any golfer and a chance to play a piece of golfing history.

Speaks for its self

Great day and course was in great shape for the time of year. It was a shotgun start which allowed them to blow off all the leaves on each hole. Some great holes with lots of water around. Stunning looking holes and water featuring on most. Alround hreat day.

Wow wow wow

Thank you so much to the belfry. The brabazon was in immaculate condition. We played as a family, myself, my parents and my son. It was a present for my dad’s birthday and the staff were great, making him feel good. The course was superb and a place every golfer should play. Day topped off with my lad driving the green on 10, making a two! Great day, great place, great people. Thank you!

Shotgun Bargain

Played this under a great deal the Belfry were doing this winter, a shotgun start at 10:30am that was 25% of the usual green fee. February is cold & its going to be wet but wear the right clothes & you can still enjoy the challenges this course throws at you. We all know the 10th & 18th & if you don't enjoy those, I suggest you give up the game. However the Brab is more than just those two holes, yes there are a few mundane ones but the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th & 16th are very good in their own right. It had been very wet before we played & the walk from tee to fairway was a bit of a bog at times but the fairways themselves & the greens were still in good order (many of them had been hollow tined but they still ran true). We went round in bang on 4hrs, so i hope the Belfry do more of this type of offer in the winter months, recommended at this price!

Don’t play until the greens are playable!!

The course was saturated and the greens had been spiked, we were really looking forward to playing a top 100 course for £42.
The whole day was a let down, if we had been informed of the conditions before we booked we would have gone elsewhere.

Don’t waste your money until the greens recover.

Needs Marshalls.....

We arrived to discover that our tee time via Teeofftimes had not been confirmed on the golf clubs booking system. However the pro shop team found a way around that to allow us to tee off at roughly the allocated time. The only problem with the golf course was the varying conditions of the greens (some recently holotyned, others top dressed) which at this time of the year is totally acceptable given the price we paid. However 5 hours 40 mins for a 3 ball with just a 4 ball in front was not. Granted the golf club cannot be held entirely responsible for the behavior and lack of etiquette of a few if its customers however on a bitterley cold day the experience was ruined by a lack of authority on the course and spoilt by a group who clearly felt they were entitled to the course exclusively. I have played here previously without issue under similar circumstances so I wouldn't be put off returning with the fresh proviso that it could then turn out to be a very long day (including two extensive drives to the venue itself). A shame on this occasion but I'll look forward to writing a more positive review following my next visit.

Some memorable holes but overall the course is very overrated. Fairways and bunkers were poor. Greens were ok.

Good round on a day where the weather was unreal

Me and a friend went and played at 9.20 on Friday and it was absolutely spot on, we had no body pushing us at all, and the course was perfect as you'd imagine. We both play off 16 and we struggled with certain holes but the majority of holes aren't too challenging. Just challenging enough to make it fun. We only payed £34 each as it was a "hot deal"
Well worth full price though

Super - Cannot fault.

This was an exceptional afternoon.
The Belfry staff were all so friendly, helpful and welcoming.
The course was in very good condition and the greens (I am sure) were not cut as they would be for competition, which meant they were very playable for us amateurs, but we're very consistent.
The buggies were superb as the Golf GPS system installed was a brilliant help.
I would advise any player to use extreme course management as the water hazards are well placed to drown the balls of any over ambitious golfer!
The Golf shop is big and well stocked for some must buy equipment, accessories, consumables or just souvenirs of the visit.
Sams Bar was lovely and we ate and refreshed after the round.
I thoroughly recommend this course as a must play.
