The Belfry Hotel & Resort, iconic home of the Betfred British Masters and four-time host to the Ryder Cup, is launching its very own Classic Golf Day. With its unparalleled experience, world-class courses and expert team, the internationally acclaimed golfing destination is poised to deliver a tournament like no other.
Esteemed sports presenter, and award-winning journalist and broadcaster, Dan Walker, will host the invite-only event. Taking place on Thursday May 22, the tournament will be held on The Belfry’s legendary The Brabazon golf course. The course, which was recently crowned ‘England’s Best Golf Course 2024’ at the industry-leading World Golf Awards, has produced some of the most dramatic moments in the sport’s history. It has challenged some of golf’s greatest players including Seve Ballesteros, Sam Torrance and Christie O’Connor Jr and will do the same as celebrities from the world of sport, including football, cricket, horseracing, rugby and athletics plus music and TV come together to play in a thrilling four-ball formation in the first ever Belfry Classic Golf Day.

With a fantastic lineup of players, iconic course, and a reputation that precedes us when it comes to hosting prestigious tournaments, the day is sure to become the event of the golfing calendar.
“We’d also like to thank the event’s incredible sponsors, Elliott Group and Turkish Airlines, who have been instrumental in ensuring the first-ever Belfry Classic Golf Day will be a tournament to remember.”
Proceeds from the inaugural Belfry Classic Golf Day will go towards two of the resort’s life-changing partner charities - the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association and Hospitality Action.
