Course shut have been closed

Played this with my son and was full of expectations. In our view the course should have been shut. We hit a number of greens only to see the ball bounce over the back 20 feet high. The same happened when we landed in a bunker!

The leaves were piled high just off the fairway and at times all 4 players were looking for our balls even when we had hit the fairway.

I am sure it is better to play this course in the summer but for me it certainly was value for money.

The only good thing is I spent time playing with my son and our playing partners were lovely

In top condition

It’s a week before the tour event so you would expect it to be in good condition but was really superb. The greens were pretty much the best greens I’ve ever played on. Awesome at the moment.

Belfry resort

Great course (Brabazon) 3rd time of playing and still a great challenge.
Parking is the biggest issue, work being carried out on the grounds reducing spaces had to just park on any bit of land you could find.
Great day and facilities

The Brabazon!! Absolutely fantastic day out. All the staff are extremely friendly. The club shop is great too. Finally the course, it’s absolutely incredible, I’ve never played a golf course like it. It was in fantastic condition when we played. Would definitely recommend a trip there and it’s one you just have to visit one day

The Brabazon

Course itself is in unbelievable condition, heading to the summer I can only imagine it will get even better, staff were lovely, drinks a little bit pricey but that’s the only negative, p.s go for the green on the 10th

Super Friendly Atmosphere

The course was amazing and lived up to our expectations in terms of playing such an iconic place, even given the time of year and conditions.
But what stands out for me was the friendliness of the staff .. especially the pro who helped us with carry bags and was such a helpful friendly guy.

Thoroughly enjoyable

Always a pleasure to play the Brabazon. There was a bit of maintenance going on which is to be expected in February. Greens in pretty rough condition and course was set-up off the back tee's which added an extra challenge!
However, the layout of the course is fantastic. There are a number of iconic holes, which are great fun to play.
We all had a really good day and are already looking forward to a return visit.

Stunning course but very challenging not for beginners

Amazing course can't wait to try again. Definitely not for beginners though and be prepared to lose a lot of balls in the water

Greens awful

Greens were full of sand like putting through a bunker, a poor job had been attempted at pitting n sanding the greens, played here before and everything was excellent but this time was worse then local municipal.

condition of course

Way too much sand on the greens made it impossible to get a decent score, putting was a lottery! The tee boxes were not great and the fairways poor even though dry. Many of the bunkers had no rakes! A disappointing experience considering its the Belfry!

Beautiful Course

Thoroughly enjoyed the round on the Brabazon.
It was pretty much as good as I expected.
The only downside was that the greens were heavily sanded and didn't run true. Now I completely understand that they have to maintain the greens to the highest of standards, but when you play a championship course, a big part of that experience would be to play on championship quality greens so alas that was not the case today.

Fabulous

Played the Brab a number of times & it never fails to excite, especially the most famous holes. Course in really good condition for a wet January. The shotgun start works well for the pace of play at 4.5hrs. Only gripe was practise green shut, so nowhere to practise putting. I’ve previously had 5-10mins on the previous green to whatever hole you’re starting from but this time we got told in no uncertain times to get off the greens prior to the start! However at only £60 to play, I’ll happily go back.

Brabazon

For January the course was in decent condition, good value for £60 and a good idea to have a shotgun start.
