My son booked this as Xmas gift for me.What can I say but absolutely blown away by the place.Played the Derby course and as high handicappers suited us brilliantly.For how much rain we’ve had lately the course was really good .Staff so helpful.Got to get handicap down now for the PGA course
waterlogged
i really like the Derby course and have played it 10-15 times but the course condition at the moment is dreadful. its completely waterlogged to the point balls landing in the fairways are plugged to the point you can't find them. the pond on 17 was soo over full its spread 15m into the fairway and the bunkers around the greens are completely full of water .
99% of courses would be closed in the current condition.
Interesting and enjoyable
Short but interesting, it had rained so some mud but all greens in use and they were surprisingly quick
Waterlogged
Any other course with that much water on it would be shut….. I really like the Derby course but it’s unplayable at the moment. Balls hitting the centre of the fairway and disappearing as there’s soo much water . Bunkers full to the brim with water .
Boggy
Very boggy in most laces, tees and greens way to close.
A great experience
The course was a bit wet due to the storm but we were lucky to have a dry day and the whole experience was wonderful and once again the Belfry delivered to our expectations.
Congested and tight
Would not recommend this course. It was very congested, too many people on the course. Up to three groups waiting on some tees. The course is too tight and with so many people in it, it is bordering on dangerous. In 10 mins we were nearly hit 4 times.
The belfry is packed in general i would avoid it, there are plenty of great courses in the UK
Great Layout
Great course first time I've played it was nice to get a lift to the first tee, and the driver to tell us about the course etc. Pace of play was slow so this was the only down side, but really good course, great layout and was designed well, will be coming back with our society.
Great time
New to golf and was worried when my friend suggested to play here however really great day the whole set up is class and very friendly - derby course was great for a beginner deffo going to play it again
Once again
4 balls slowing the day
Going sideways and backwards in buggies slowing down the pace
Wouldn’t let us threw
2 ball taking 5 hours is not a good day
The rough diamond at The Belfry
I’ve played all three courses & The Derby is my favourite. It’s lovely. A good test of golf but not brutally difficult. Sunday afternoon was fantastic, not fast pace by any means but we got round in 4 hours & was exactly what we expected. Beautiful greens & well kept fairways. Don’t expect the Brabazon especially when the British Masters is coming up. The green keepers will be spending all their time & efforts on the main course but it’s in no way shabby. We paid £35 for our round which was good value. The Brabazon is the crown jewel but the Derby is the rough diamond.
Another great visit
Excellent service as always warm welcome from staff from booking in to transport to first tee and collection when completing round. Booked as a two ball paired with a third party no issue with this fully explained in booking terms and conditions. Pace of play steady at first but quickly caught up with a couple of four balls ahead one group kindly let us play through however group in front not so accommodating. Course in pretty good condition no complaints will happily return again in due course
Lovely course shame about the pitch marks
Lovely course, gorgeous weather, fair challenge always loved playing here. The issue I found which knocks it from 5 to three stars is the conduction of the greens pitch marks everywhere! It was shocking I lost count of how many times I had to repair marks either on my line or close to it on one green I saw my ball pitch and stop dead it had landed in a massive un repaired pitch mark. Shocking really but for the price can’t complain.
