Birmingham Golf

Use Birmingham as two different golf trips: a Belfry-led resort break around Sutton Coldfield, or a city-based itinerary combining Edgbaston with premium inland courses across the northern Birmingham and Warwickshire corridor.

Start with the trip type

Resort golf or city golf?

For groups, societies and corporate trips, The Belfry is the easiest self-contained option because accommodation, three courses, practice, spa and group products sit on one site. For golfers who prefer Birmingham itself as the base, Edgbaston provides direct city golf while Little Aston, Forest of Arden and Beau Desert expand the quality and variety of the trip.

The Belfry · Sutton Coldfield · Championship resort

The Brabazon

Dave Thomas and Peter Alliss’s par-72 Brabazon remains the flagship course at The Belfry, with live tee-time booking and current resort golf-break products.

Current planning: 7,255 yards from the published championship setup; The Belfry currently promotes online tee-time booking and 2026 resort packages.

Groups & societies

Useful current group-planning details

The Belfry group economics

Current 2026 stay-and-play offers include a “1 in 16 go free” group benefit plus 10% off drinks on qualifying new bookings for March–October stays. Always reconfirm the live package before paying.

Three-course resort swing

The Belfry can keep a group on one estate across Brabazon, PGA National and the reimagined Derby, reducing coach transfers and simplifying dinners, spa and non-golfer planning.

Edgbaston booking discipline

Edgbaston currently allows standard visitor tee times online up to 28 days ahead, with handicap evidence potentially requested and daily visitor windows that vary through the week.
