The Belfry Hotel & Resort has been announced as Europe’s Best Golf Hotel at the 2016 World Golf Awards in Portugal.
The Warwickshire-based four-time Ryder Cup venue also retained the titles for England’s Best Golf Hotel and England’s Best Golf Course for a third successive year.
The award’s ceremony took place at the Conrad Algarve Portugal on November 12, where The Belfry fought off strong competition from some of Europe’s leading resorts. The popular Midlands resort was acknowledged for its first class hospitality and golfing facilities, from the state-of-the-art custom fitting at the PGA Academy, through to the extensive golf shop, and its three championship layouts, including the world-renowned Brabazon course
Launched in 2014, the World Golf Awards reward excellence in golf tourism, world-class courses and golf destinations from across the globe. The awards, voted for by golfers worldwide aim to raise the bar for golf experiences. The awards sit as part of the World Travel Awards, which have been recognising quality across the leisure and tourism sector for over 20 years.
James Stewart, The Belfry’s Resort Director commented: “We were absolutely delighted to have retained our titles as the Best Golf Hotel and Golf Course in England for the third consecutive year, but to have taken the European crown and be recognised alongside some of the world’s leading resorts is a huge honour. We are constantly striving to deliver the very finest standards of hospitality for every guest, and this pays testament to the efforts of our team across the whole resort. Their hard work and dedication really helps to set us apart from the competition and supports the fantastic facilities we provide for our guests.”
“In this Ryder Cup year, I also wanted to highlight the fantastic work of Angus MacLeod and his greenkeeping team, who have done an incredible job on the Brabazon course to ensure it is presented in pristine condition all-year round,” continued Stewart.
