Belton Woods

[GB72]

Belton Park is the best in the area (imo), but then I've not played BW for over a decade, so it might have been looked after and improved since I lived there and was a member back in me youth. But I never, ever tire of playing Belton Park. Played it twice this year already (lucky enough to have mates who are still members) - try and play it whenever I'm back in the shire.

I do miss my membership there but it is costing over a grand a year now and cannot justify that with how much I play.

The pro shop used to be run by a lovely chap

Must have been when they still stocked Persimmon clubs

The worst part about Belton Park is it's not progressive AT ALL. They could do so much with the club to make it welcoming and improve facilities, but every instance of ownership has been so short sighted. Even in the bar, they don't encourage people to eat or drink at all and make it as difficult as possible (no (or very minimal) spike bar area) - despite the food being good and very reasonably priced. The last two times I've been in on bank holidays - the club has been busy, but next to no one eating and drinking in comparison.

I did parkrun over at Belton House on the Saturday morning and the route went past it, it looked in superb condition.

You run along the top past the 4th tee if I remember.

Think it may have been along the side of a par 3. Looked beautiful and I was looking forward to playing it that afternoon. It wasn't until I got home and remembered that I hadn't played it and looked up which course it was.

Any idea what the course's will be like at the end of March?

From Experience, very damp. Unless they've improved the drainage in last 10 or so years.

Belton Park would be a better bet.

Nope, still the same especially the holes near or approaching the hotel.
