Golf hotels near the NEC

[spongebob59]

HiD has booked tickets for an event at the NEC next year so I'm looking for a hotel with or near a course that I could consider

Thanks

forest of arden or the belfry the obvious ones

As mentioned, Belfry and Forest of Arden are probably main ones.

Nailcote hall is nice with a par 3 course that holds the farmfoods Par 3 Championship.

Village hotel Solihull has Shirley golf club down the road.

Any central Solihull hotel (may give more food/drink options) will be a mile or so from Olton Golf club or Robin Hood Golf Club which are both decent.

Going further away, The Warwickshire is hotel and multiple courses together - 15 miles/30 mins

Further again, Stratford for The Welcombe which is hotel and course - Probably about 40 mins

I stayed at the Marriott at the Forest of Arden when I played in the GM Centenary Final. As part of a chain it was perfectly functional and had no issues with the room or the food. The FoA course OK. Not my favourite but enjoyable and the second nine in particular in the deer park with the magnificent deer and stags roaming is pleasant and tricky in places

10 minutes from the NEC, course on site and a few others within 20 minutes

The Warwickshire looks a good option, nice to play a new course (s).

The Warwickshire is a lovely facility, two decent courses and good practice facilities.

Be careful what time of year you go play the Warwickshire though! I play it fairly revularly but wouldn't recommend it if we have had a lot of heavy rainfall as it really struggles. Played there last February and the course was waterlogged and they still took £30 each off us! In the summer/or when it's dry, it's a fabulous course and always thorough enjoyed playing there, Kings course in particular!

I would recommend against this one - a mickey mouse golf course, and not a great hotel (when I was there about 5 years ago)

If you go Warwickshire then there is a good pub in the village it's located in or you can go into Kenilworth close by posh cocktail bar or plenty of curries, or Warwick or Leamington if going further afield.

the Belfry are doing stupid deals at the moment with stay and play. the Brabazon is crap this time of year though

Holiday Inn in Kenilworth about 10 miles away and the driest course around here.

Solihull is the nearest centre to the NEC and has a choice of hotels.

For golf you could choose between Copt Heath, Olton or Robin Hood all of which are within 5 minutes of the centre of Solihull and IMO are better courses than the others being suggested.
