Plans have been published to extend the Belfry Hotel and Resort, a former Ryder Cup venue near Sutton Coldfield on the outskirts of Birmingham.
Plans include adding 144 bedrooms in a new building on the site overlooking the Brabazon Course which would also include a 600-seat ballroom and banqueting facilities.
A new leisure club, next to the 18th hole of the PGA National Course, is also in the plans. This will feature a leisure pool as well as a gym and studio rooms, café and changing facilities. The existing leisure facilities will be relocated to allow space within the resort buildings for a new state-of-the art spa.
The Belfry intends to build upon the resort’s golfing tradition and success so that it continues to operate as a world class golf and leisure destination in future. The Belfry is set in more than 550 acres of Warwickshire countryside and currently has 320 bedrooms.
A planning application is due to be submitted to North Warwickshire Borough Council in the summer and construction could start early next year.
