Even the derby is an experience

So it's winter and the course was wet, but it was still playable, the greens were still quite fast and definitely in the summer months would be excellent speed and condition, their were no winter tees which was great. What I will say the overall experience of the belfry even playing the 3rd course was outstanding, on arrival you were greeted and told where to collect your transfer to 1st tee, on the derby this is about a mile away from club house so not having to walk there was a bonus, the starter that was collecting you and driving you down to tee was absolutely 1st class, we were paired with 2 strangers, and he really broke the ice and put you at ease, he explained where to go, so you didn't get lost on the course and was just such a fun guy. On completion of our round he was at the 18th hole to collect you and drive you back to the club house, again making you laugh, what a credit to the belfry experience this guy was. I would not hesitate to recommend playing here and will hopefully be back to try the derby again in the summer, and also the pga and brabazon.

Day at the derby

Played the derby today, after all the heavy rain and thunder storms wasn’t expecting it to be great, but I was pleasantly pleased, course was in excellent condition and greens were very good too, they look after this course as much as the other two, enjoyed the day only problem is £2,50 for a small bottle of water and £12+ for two coffees and parking is a bit crazy finding a space, but a smashing day out

Derby Course delight.

My friend and I booked an early afternoon round and although there were a few issues with people booking through different means, the staff were able to get us out and playing quite quickly. The course is nice with a few challenging holes, the condition was close to excellent with the only real issue being people not repairing the pitch marks on greens! If you play public courses and can get this for anywhere around £35 or less you won't be disappointed!

Value for money?

I really like this course and it can be very well maintained.

The only gripe is that when the summer is in especially on weekends the pace of play is always poor. I was pushed back nearly 25 minutes from my tee time and I had around at 10-15 minute wait per tee box with multiple groups queing behind.

This course is best value for money when they drop the deals on later tee times in the week, but if you’re prepared to wait on the weekends you start to question what value you get for it.

Belfry Bad Weather

We were playing the Darby course however the heaven opened up on hole four. We tried to play on however we got to hole six and the green was under water so headed back to the golf shop. They gave us a card to claim a bad weather voucher to book another time. Staff were very helpful to say all courses closed

First time playing at the belfry

First time playing the course. Easily directed to the shop where staff were helpful. Let us play off early as there was a gap. Driver to the course was great. Spoke about the 3 courses and had great knowledge. The derby for the “cheaper course” was brilliant. Definitely worth a swing. Looking forward to going back and playing the other courses this summer. Pace was a little slow but only due to us being a 2 ball and a group of 32 in front of us.
