Play goes on at Belton Park Golf Club

December 2023 brought with it very challenging weather conditions which saw many local courses struggling to remain open, following more than 100mm of rain during the month.

Belton Park, with its 27 holes, has still managed to keep 18 of its holes open to members and visitors.

This has allowed the course only to be closed when the snow came earlier in the month.

Belton Park hosted two new AM-AM competitions during December.

The Over 70s competition saw a team from Doncaster travel down the A1 take the first prize with an impressive 92 points.

A strong field of 23 teams in the Over 55 AM-AM saw Andrew Doubleday, Veronica Clarke, Martin Clarke and Andy Hodgson win with 84 points in blustery conditions.

David Nock, Peter Griss, Steve Brook, Stuart Balodis took second spot with 83 points and third on a countback with 81 points were John Whaler, Nick Bristow, Nick Rossington and Michael Jones.

New Year's Day saw Belton Park members battle it with only three clubs for the Trustees Cup.

Played over nine holes with 32 entrants, Andy Stepney came out victorious with 20 stableford points.
