The Belfry Hotel & Resort
Birmingham
Set in the Warwickshire countryside near Sutton Coldfield, The Belfry Hotel & Resort is one of the UK’s most iconic golf resorts. Best known as a four-time Ryder Cup host and regular British Masters venue, it combines serious golf heritage with a full resort experience, making it one of the strongest stay-and-play options in England.
The resort offers three golf courses: The Brabazon, PGA National and The Derby. The Brabazon is the headline course, famous for Ryder Cup history and dramatic risk-and-reward holes. PGA National offers a more inland links-style challenge and is widely positioned as a strong test for confident golfers, while The Derby provides a more forgiving parkland round, useful for mixed-ability groups and lighter golf days.
Away from the course, The Belfry has stylish rooms and suites, restaurants and bars, spa facilities, leisure club, swimming pool and fitness areas. It works well for golf groups, couples, societies and corporate trips because everything is on site, from championship golf to post-round food, drinks and downtime.
Its location is a big advantage too. The resort sits close to Birmingham, major motorways, rail links, the NEC and Birmingham Airport, making it easy to reach from across the UK. For UK golf breaks, The Belfry is ideal for golfers who want a proper big-name venue with strong facilities, easy logistics and real tournament history.

About The Area
Walsall is a practical West Midlands golf base, especially for groups who want easy motorway access, decent-value golf and plenty of Black Country heritage nearby. It is not a resort destination, but it works well for a short society trip, a Midlands stopover or a weekend that combines golf with Birmingham, Dudley and the wider Black Country.
The main local option is Walsall Golf Club, formed in 1907 and described by the club as a “hidden gem” in the heart of the West Midlands, close to the Midlands motorway links and well suited to societies and away days. Calderfields Hotel Golf & Country Club is another useful local choice, offering a challenging 18-hole parkland course, practice facilities and a lively clubhouse feel after the round.
Away from golf, Walsall Arboretum gives golfers an easy green-space option, with walking, parkruns, fishing and sports around Hatherton Lake and the wider park. For culture, The New Art Gallery Walsall is a useful town-centre stop, with free gallery access and regular exhibitions. Groups can also build in the Black Country Living Museum in nearby Dudley, which covers over 250 years of local industrial history through reconstructed shops, houses and workshops.
For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Walsall works best as a value-led Midlands golf weekend, a society base, or a practical Black Country trip with golf, heritage, parks and Birmingham close by.
