BELFRY UNVEILS RYDER CUP-THEMED MINI PUTTING COURSE

The Belfry has continued to build on its Ryder Cup history by opening a unique Ryder Cup-themed mini golf course, which features some of the most iconic holes from courses to have hosted the matches over the years.

The 12-hole ‘Ryder Legends’ layout features nine famous holes from Ryder Cup history, along with three other holes. The course even includes a replica of the legendary 10th hole from The Belfry’s own Brabazon Course.

Designed by mini golf course architects City Golf, the high-spec layout incorporates a number of water hazards to further ramp up the challenge.

David Edwards, resort director at The Belfry, said: “The Ryder Legends Mini Golf Course is a great addition for the resort. As the world’s only four-time host, we wanted to honour our Ryder Cup heritage, but do so in a way that would be enjoyable and inclusive for everyone. Whether you are a golfing purist or a beginner just looking for a bit of fun, the new course offers something for everyone.

A round costs £7 for adults and £5 for kids. The course is open from 10am-6pm daily. It can also be hired out exclusively for £250.
