The Belfry has retained its position as the world’s top golfing destination winning the title of The Ultimate Golf Resort for the second consecutive year at the 10th annual ceremony of the 59Club European Service Excellence Awards. The awards took place just before the lockdown resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic crisis in the UK on the 12th & 13th March 2020.
The 59Club European Service Excellence Awards honours individuals, teams and venues across Europe from the world of golf for their industry-leading performance throughout the year. Each venue is judged on its performance in sales, service, operations, retail, golf course, food & beverage and management.
The Belfry Hotel & Resort and retained its two Gold Flags. Individuals Jacques Hobson, Food & Beverage Manager, and Chris Reeve, Director of Golf, also won awards for Food & Beverage Manager of the Year and Golf Manager of the Year, respectively.
James Macbeth Stewart, Resort Director, said: “Whilst we were up against some strong competition this year, The Belfry’s level of excellence is unmatched testament to the fact that we’ve not only retained our two Gold Flags but have also successfully defended our title as The Ultimate Golf Resort; The Belfry is one of only a handful of venues to have won this category twice.
“We’re incredibly proud of our dedicated team who are critical to delivering the excellent experience for which we’re renowned. I must also give a special thank you to Jacques and Chris who each play a pivotal role in sustaining the resort’s title as best in the business, so these awards are a credit to their great leadership in two of the resort’s most fundamental areas.”
H&C News would like to congratulate the whole team at The Belfry on their award. We have first hand experience of the hospitality extended by the team at The Belfry, and we can confirm it is justifiably award winning.
We are not able to hold the event in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but we are liaising with Neil Walker at The Belfry to be back, bigger and better in 2021.
Our returning is based on the first hand feedback of experienced hospitality professionals, most that run hospitality businesses themselves – Unanimous agreement that a golf day experience at The Belfry is to be enjoyed repeatedly. We wholeheartedly agree with them.
We would like to thank Neil Walker and his team at The Belfry for their hospitality to date over the years. We look forward to walking onto the first tee with you soon Neil.
