The Dave Thomas designed Derby Course at The Belfry was opened alongside the Brabazon in 1977, and while it might not rank alongside the two championship courses at the resort, it’s an excellent alternative for higher handicappers, or for those looking for a more relaxing experience than a round on a long championship course.
With a par of 69 and a more manageable total yardage of 6,099 yards, the Derby can be enjoyed by any standard of golfer, with fewer hazards in play than on the PGA National and Brabazon Courses.
Did You Know? The Derby Course at The Belfry was named after the Earl of Derby. In a similar vein, the more famous Brabazon Course was named after Lord Brabazon of Tara.
Signature Hole – No. 16: Par 3, 180 yards (Yellow Tees)
The 16th on the Derby Course is a picturesque par 3 which demands a solid tee shot thanks in large part to the water hazard that guards the left hand side of the green, as well as the bunker that guards the right. The kidney shaped green offers many pin positions, some of which can be really treacherous if you have designs on taking on the pin. Playing safely for the centre of the green is the prudent play here and par is always a good score.

From my own experience on the course it played very well and was a fair test for all handicap players.

The course is great for beginners, however it could do with a bit of TLC. Tee Boxes weren't great and nor the greens. Compared to the Brabazon it was night and day in terms of quality. I would expect it to not be in the same league, but certainly better than it was

The fairways were uncut possibly to help grass recover form the recent drought and had winter rules in place but meant bounce was restrited on fairways and then greens were like glass making it hard to judge

This is third course of the three at the Belfry and you could tell with the conditions of the fairways. Due to the recent summer weather the fairways were not in the best condition. They haven’t been cut and due to this not the easiest to sometimes find your golf ball, depending on what you play.

Condition ok, but nothing special. Difficult to see where fairways ended and rough started. Suffering a bit from recent hot spell.
