Northern Ireland golfers are very fortunate to
enjoy several fine examples of the esteemed
H.S. Colt’s talents for course design with
Belvoir Park considered one of the best.
Enjoying a well-deserved position as one of
the finest inland courses in Ireland, if not the
British Isles, the fair but tight greens mean that
Belvoir is rarely closed by water logging. Many
accomplished golfers down the decades such as Peter Allis, Fred Daly and Peter Dohereiner
have sealed this reputation. Each believed
Harry Colt was right on the money when he
referred, with considerable foresight, to “a
course affording an excellent test, and at the
same time, one that will give maximum of
pleasure to golfers”. And all in the centre of
Belfast…what could be better?
