Celebrities to tee off in Belfry’s first Classic Golf Day

The Belfry Hotel & Resort, home of the Betfred British Masters and four-time host to the Ryder Cup, is launching its own Classic Golf Day – featuring celebrities from the world of sport, music and TV.

Esteemed sports presenter, and award-winning journalist and broadcaster, Dan Walker (pictured), will host the invite-only event on Thursday 22 May.

The tournament will be held on The Belfry’s legendary The Brabazon golf course, recently crowed ‘England’s Best Golf Course 2024’ at the industry-leading World Golf Awards.

The inaugural Belfry Classic Golf Day will feature celebrities from the world of sport, including football, cricket, horseracing, rugby and athletics, as well as those from music and TV, in a thrilling four-ball formation.

Chris Eigelaar, resort director at The Belfry Hotel & Resort, said: “We’ve been blown away by the phenomenal response we’ve had from those taking part.

“With a fantastic lineup of players, an iconic course, and a reputation that precedes us when it comes to hosting prestigious tournaments, the day is sure to become the event of the golfing calendar.

“We’d also like to thank the event’s incredible sponsors, Elliott Group and Turkish Airlines, who have been instrumental in ensuring the first-ever Belfry Classic Golf Day will be a tournament to remember.”

Proceeds from the inaugural Belfry Classic Golf Day will go towards two of the resort’s partner charities - the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association and Hospitality Action.

Alongside the action on the greens, the day will also include an all-day BBQ, live entertainment, multiple drinks receptions and a gala dinner.
