Shocking Course

The state of the fairways if you can call them that were shocking! The photos in the app aren't even related to this course. Expected the course to be in excellent condition due to the location.

It's an embarresment to the Belfry name.

Expected better.

Been a while since playing the course' greens were nice but the rest of the course was in a very poor state.

Paid £26 and think that was over priced on this occasion .Can't fault the staff and the on course taxi driver.

Derby course

Played the course many times

Good course well maintained with great greens

The only thing that spoils the experience is the incessant idea that you must bunch people together to get the maximum amount of people out at one time thus making it a corporate money well rather than making it an enjoyable day

( you never know what handicaps of the other players your grouped with ) thus evoking slow play

and a general frustration when playing with 20+ handicapper’s

Overpriced

Quite obvious, you play the derby course and you are paying for the belfry name and not much else. The course was flat, short and featureless. You can play far better courses for half the price. The greens were in good condition and the amenities are good quality, but overall below expectations.

Great condition

Got the round for only £20 which was a bargain as the course was in great condition, especially the greens. £50 for a buggy was expensive as were the drinks at the bar but as expected for the Belfry and worth it for the surroundings.

Derby Course

A very enjoyable day from the moment we booked in, shuttle bus drivers were very friendly and helpful with many tips on the courses. The Derby course played very well even with this very dry conditions, greens were very well maintained and very fast at times, bringing great challenges. Would recommend going back there and we will at some point
