About the course
The Brabazon was always going to be a hard act to follow but the The Belfry Golf Course (PGA National) has managed it… comfortably. In fact, dare we say it, the PGA is considered by some to be the top Belfry layout.
Although it’s located literally yards away from its superstar neighbour, the Dave Thomas-designed PGA is a whole new ball game: it’s a serious test of US/linksy-style golf with the star hole being the par-5 12th, the banks on either side of the fairway giving it an amphitheatre feel.
Like its famous Ryder Cup-staging neighbour The Brabazon, the Dave Thomas-designed PGA National provides a serious test, is in fine shape year-round and the big greens are a joy to putt on. Just ensure you negotiate the cavernous bunkers waiting to confiscate wayward strikes.
The PGA National was the handiwork of Dave Thomas and will be a decade old next year (2007). The Brabazon is the one everyone wants to play because of its Ryder Cup heritage and it is a must-play, but the PGA is a worthy back-up and should not be overlooked. The Belfry offers great levels of service and the facilities are top-notch.
With its inland links appearance, this championship golf course presents a unique challenge thanks to hard and fast running fairways, undulating greens, severe run-offs and its 70 strategically placed cavernous bunkers.
The PGA National, having hosted two European Tour events, is fast becoming one of the top courses in the country.
Recognised by the PGA as a world-class tournament course and the only PGA branded course in England, the PGA National is a must for golfers who enjoy the creativity and shot-making required for links golf.
