The Belfry aiming to retain coveted award

The Belfry Hotel & Resort is looking to regain its title as ‘England’s Best Golf Hotel’ at the 2015 World Golf Awards, having claimed the impressive accolade at the inaugural ceremony last year.

The world’s only four-time Ryder Cup host resort has once again been shortlisted alongside the country’s leading golfing retreats and will be looking to take top honours at the awards ceremony in November.

On top of the nomination for ‘England’s Best Golf Hotel’, the Belfry’s Brabazon course has been shortlisted for the title of ‘England’s Best Course’.

Ian Knox, the Belfry’s director of golf, said: “It was a great accolade for the resort to be named as England’s finest golf hotel in 2014 and we are committed to building on these achievements throughout this year.
