Better than The Brabazon
This course is fantastic. It’s very difficult thanks to the many crater like bunkers which seem to be everywhere. The condition is great throughout. I played the Brabazon recently and I have to say I prefer the PGA. Even though the Brabazon is excellent too. Don’t expect to score low on either course.
PGA national
Thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was so well maintained. Staff were so friendly and interested in you as a person.
Will definitely return.
First timer
First time at the belfry and played the PGA Course.
The course was in a really good condition for this time of year, well manicured by the greens staff. (Kinda to be expected as it the Belfry). Facilities were great as we dined in Sam’s bar afterwards.
Staff were friendly and helpful throughout the visit.
An enjoyable day.
Played PGA great value for £40, little damp in places but green in great shape for the time of year.
Rained night before
I’ve only given the course conditions a 3 because it was wet but every other course would have been closed but it held up very well greens was still pure and fast so great work from staff over all great experience and will be coming back in summer!
Excellent value for money
Got a great deal at The Belfry would highly recommend
Excellent course
The course was excellent, some puddles in fairways but to say we played the morning after a storm trolleys where permitted and the greens where excellent. Would definitely recommend but take your own beers. 2 sausage rolls and 2 beers at the turn £23!!!!!
PGA
Excellent location
Excellent amenities
Great knowledgeable staff
Great lynx course
Jeezo
Played the PGA national today it’s like playing in a cow field. The greens were the only up side. I understand that there’s been loads of rain but the fairways were shocking. The hotel, range, workers and the people in the place are fantastic but that course need attention.
One of the major venues ticked off
Got a great offer and could not resist! Played in morning starting before frost had cleared. Course very challenging and only finished with 3 balls left. Loved the experience
40th birthday round
First time playing the PGA national course and even with the weather we’ve had this time of year the course played really well yes it was a little wet but still really good condition.
Will 100% be playing this course again in the summer time
Unreal condition for January
Course was in great condition for this time of year, greens were pure and fast, Greenkeeping staff doing a great job, bunkers were well kept, tee boxes in great condition
Given the time of year and the weather we’ve had recently don’t have a thing to complain about, would definitely recommend & will be heading back soon to try the Brabazon
10/10
Disappointed
As a golfer, we can all be guilty of slating courses when don't play well. This isn’t one of those times. We all played to a decent standard despite my review.
The course was far too boggy and should really have been deemed as unplayable and closed for play. Even at a reduced winter rate it was no where near worth the value of what we paid.
Playing winter golf, you appreciate that you have to look differently at a few things, but I felt that it was basically open just to take your money and the local club courses would have closed to protect the course.
The Belfry can not be classed as an average club so I appreciate that it has to carry itself higher. But when you’re losing balls in areas you shouldn’t due to very boggy ground conditions that’s just not right. The course was full of standing water and just boggy on every hole. 16, 17 and 18 in particular were a disgrace really in terms of being classed as open.
I was told before playing that the course will never close no matter what condition it’s in and there was never a truer statement.
Best course at the belfry
Played it multiple times . Greens were bumpy and in need of some work , but possibly due to the amount of rain last week they couldn’t do get them up to the normal condition.
It’s a great test . The rough on the 6-13 (across the road) is brutal .
Belfry National course
Great day out, Belfry very friendly and a course in really good condition. The National has 70 bunkers and I found quite a few but still had a good round. Recommend to all golfers. Go and have a go!
Tough
The course is a test on nice days . Winds were up so was playing very tough . Knee high rough was brutal.
My favourite of the 3 at the Belfry
Total Disappointment Not Worth The Money
Huge amounts of standing water on every hole. Landing areas on fairways in such bad condition that balls were lost through plugging, or simply submerged under water. Bunkers were unplayable.
Overall an unplayable course which the club refused to deem such or declare a bad weather day even after a torrential downpour to add to the already flooded course. All about the money, and it wasn’t worth £90 by any stretch of the imagination!
Very disappointing experience! Play Burhill instead!!!!
