The Belfry Hotel & Resort (The Brabazon)
Parkland Course in Sutton Coldfield, England
The Brabazon, located at The Belfry in the heart of England, is a parkland course designed by the renowned duo Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas, opening for play in 1977. It is undeniably one of the most recognisable courses in the United Kingdom, largely due to its unprecedented history as a four-time host of the Ryder Cup, witnessing some of the event's most memorable moments. While it hasn't been listed as an Open Qualifying venue, its championship pedigree is cemented by also hosting numerous European Tour events, including the British Masters. The course is known for its strategic layout, featuring demanding tee shots, well-placed bunkers, and water hazards that come into play on several holes, notably the iconic 10th and 18th. Navigating the Brabazon requires thoughtful shot-making and can provide a stern test, reflecting its history as a stage for world-class competitive golf.
