The Belfry — Brabazon Course
The Midlands’ defining championship-resort course: a par-72 design by Dave Thomas and Peter Alliss, inseparable from Ryder Cup history and one of the easiest landmark courses in England to build into a complete golf break.

The Midlands bucket-list anchor
The Brabazon is the course to choose when the trip is about tournament history, recognisable risk-and-reward holes and the convenience of a major golf resort. The Belfry’s own current course information lists the Brabazon at 7,255 yards, par 72, and records Ryder Cups in 1985, 1989, 1993 and 2002.
