Description

"Brookdale Golf club was first founded as Clayton Golf club on the 8th of July 1896. At that time the Annual subscription was £1 1s. The membership totaled 75 . The Captain was H. Connolly and the Professional was J. Nicholls. The course consisted of 9 holes and the first course record was set at 36 by a F. Butel on the 8th of September.

In September 1905 the club moved to Lord Lane Failsworth and was renamed 'BROOKDALE' Alderman Edgar Bowes driving in with a wooden shafted driver which is still displayed in the clubhouse today. Some of our early achievements were winning the Balfour Cup at Withington golf club in 1932 S.T. Hildrup 79-9- 70 and in 1934 at Prestbury Golf Club G.H. Jackson 76 - 7- 69

On December 15th 1962 we moved to our present location on Medlock Road , Woodhouses, Failsworth , which when first constructed was a 12 hole course. The newly built clubhouse was opened by Lee Monks, the Captain of Manchester and District Golf Captains. The first Captain was the late Jack Holmes. Jack was an Honorary Life Member and until his death lived at the back of the 4th Tee. The membership increased and in 1973 Mr Holmes acquired some more land and the course became a full 18 holes."
