History and attributes

The course was founded in 1927, designed by Harry Colt. Each round being just under 6,600 yards, Belvoir Park has played host to championships including the Irish Open in the late 1940s and the early 1950s and the Irish PGA Championship in 1995 the Irish Amateur close in 2009 and also the British Ladies amateur championship in 2011. The winner on that occasion, Harry Bradshaw took the view afterwards that it was "the best inland course I have ever played".

Famous golfers such as Peter Alliss and Fred Daly have rated the course one of the best inland courses in the British Isles.
