West Bradford Golf Club

About

West Bradford is a private members golf club set around a historic 300 year old Grade II listed Clubhouse, lying between the ancient village of Allerton to the south and Heaton to the north. The course is just six miles from Haworth, home of the Bronte’s. The club was originally founded by a group of wealthy textile barons in 1900. The construction of the course was entrusted to James Carter & Co. of London, who had developed the Old Course at Sunningdale Golf Club a few years earlier. In the 1940’s the course was completely redesigned, and two brand new holes were added, by golf course architects Hawtree + Son – the renowned family firm of architects behind the design of Royal Birkdale, Hillside Golf Club and Foxhills. The Hawtree layout has been preserved, and the course plays exactly how architects F.G. Hawtree & his son F.W. Hawtree designed it to be played over 60 years ago. West Bradford boasts one of the finest and most characterful parkland courses in the region.
