great value and quiet

Have now played here quite a few times and every time its great. Good value always and always quiet so you can plan your round/start given a normal day. The green's were good today July 2019 and very fast at times. A good test especially if you don't play that often. You get the facilities of the belfry although prices are high in the bar.

Good value for money

After playing the PGA national I was kean to try the Derby. The Derby Plays shorter and gives good opportunities for plenty of pars If finding the fairways. I play off 14 and found it a lot more enjoyable than that PGA as more of a realistic test for my ability. Only down side weren’t the Greens whixh worse than you’d expect, quite bobbly and looked abit battered in places.

Caught behind a VERY slow 4 ball (held up around 3 groups) but that happens at every course so can’t penalise to much for that. Overall, excellent value for money though.

Belfry Derby course

All I can say is corporate greed

Booked for 1.48 pm they changed tee time to 2.12 pm and too many people on the course

The staff at the Belfry didn’t care much for the golf experience only interested in making money

poor staff relations

Below Par

Nice parkland course nothing special thought considering it was the belfry it would be better than it was even though it was their 3rd course.

Played better courses for less money Walsall and wishaw are prime examples

Underrated

A very flat & forgiving golf course especially when compared with the Brabazon which I have played three times now. The front nine feels very municipal course where the back nine is more scenic. Highly recommended. Definitely underrated.

Winter Deal with Wife

Having been to Belfry on other occasions thought it only decent to take the wife so she could have a day out at short notice. Found a deal on the internet and booked it up for single golfer - she walks courses with me, so I am lucky. Weather was changeable - NEVER BELIEVE BBC WEATHER - it said mild!!.

Didn't spoil the fun and she kept the score, even though we were getting wet - good thing she wore my spare waterproof trousers.

The greeting was good on arrival

All staff very friendly and wife was impressed.

Only issue was that Sam's Bar was only place on site you could get food at 3pm on Monday....missing a trick here...

Wife said she would like to go back when we can see it during the warmer climate...keeping my eyes peeled for deals....

Too busy for an enjoyable round.

The group in front were only just teeing off by out tee time. They had a 4 ball in front of them causing a delay. Had to wait before taking every shot. The roaming marshal only seemed interested in getting us right up the of the group in front and kept saying the gap in front of the 4 ball was a 'natural gap' At one point we had the 3 groups behind us all waiting as we teed off. I saw the 4 ball having a good 5 minute discussion before teeing off with no one in front of them. If the marshalls aren't going to make groups like this pick up and skip a hole after fair warning, they need to leave longer between tee times. I was fed up after 9, and losing the will to live after 15. Group in front said their round was ruined, group behind were angry. Think this venue will always get custom because of their fame so cram golfers on the courses like cattle and charge the earth for pretty umipressive food.
