Broome Manor Golf Club

Broome Manor Golf Club is based within the wider Broome Manor Golf Complex in Swindon and has been open to the public since 1976, with the club itself formally established the following year. Alongside the established eighteen-hole course, a newer nine-hole layout on the east side of the site has since been given its own WHS rating, offering a shorter option well suited to beginners or those wanting a quicker round. Several of the club's founder members remain active today, and the Club Championship, first held in 1978, has been sponsored throughout its history by a long-standing local jeweller in Swindon's Old Town. The club is affiliated to the English and Wiltshire Golf Union, the English Ladies Golf Association and the Wiltshire Ladies Golf Union, and runs active Men's, Ladies', Seniors' and Junior sections. Its junior programme has produced notable results, including a scholarship for a recent Junior Captain to study and compete in the United States at collegiate level. The club can also point to four international players connected to Broome Manor, among them a golfer who sank the winning putt at the 1995 Walker Cup and another who was part of the winning 2004 Ryder Cup team, underlining the calibre of golf associated with the club over the years.
