The Belfry is a golf resort in Wishaw, Warwickshire, close to Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, England. It was acquired by KSL Capital Partners LLC in August 2012.

The resort has three golf courses. The Brabazon Course is the main tournament course, and the others are the PGA National and The Derby. The headquarters of The Professional Golfers' Association are also located there, as are a hotel, tennis courts and a leisure spa.

The Belfry has hosted the Ryder Cup on four occasions and has staged numerous European Tour events.

The Belfry has also recently undergone a major renovation of all bedrooms, meeting rooms, public spaces and other amenities. As well as a general uplift on the whole grounds appearance, including a new lobby entrance.
