Belfry Hotel fire: Blaze breaks out overnight at iconic Ryder Cup venue

A fire has reportedly broken out at the iconic Ryder Cup venue, The Belfry Hotel Resort - with four engines at scene.

It is understood firefighters are currently at the scene on Lichfield Road in Wishaw attempting to extinguish the blaze.

The fire is believed to be located at the hotel's leisure centre, with Warwickshire Fire and Rescue tweeting that they have dispatched four appliances.

The firefighters are equipped with breathing apparatus, hose reel jets, small gear and lighting to extinguish the fire.

In a statement, the hotel said: "Following a small fire in the mens changing room of the Leisure Club this morning, we would like to thank the Fire Brigade and our team for their prompt response & support.

"Everyone is safe and well and we hope to have the changing room facilities open again very soon."

The venue is most well-known for hosting the Ryder Cup golf tournament between Europe and the United States of America, four times - 1985, 1989, 1993 and 2002, more than any other venue.

It has also played host to European Tour golf events, including most recently the ISPS Handa UK Championship in 2020 and the 2021 Betfred British Masters.

The golf resort has three 18-hole courses including Ryder Cup course, The Brabazon, The PGA National and The Derby. It also has a 12-hole crazy golf course.
