JOIN OUR GOLF CLUB

Both 18-hole and 9-hole courses we play on were opened to the public in 1976 and Broome Manor Golf Club, based within Broome Manor Golf Complex, was established a year later. In November 2014, a 75-year lease was acquired from Swindon Borough Council by Twigmarket Ltd. The extensive golf and leisure facilities at Broome Manor Golf Complex are managed by Community Golf Leisure Trust Ltd.

WELCOME TO BROOME MANOR GOLF CLUB

We welcome golfers of all ages and abilities to become members of the club and offer an extensive competitive programme for all sections. The new  9 hole layout is now open and has received its WHS rating, the new layout which keeps all 9 holes on the East side of the course is perfect for players new to the game or those wishing to play on a shorter course.

GOLF CLUB WITH HISTORY

Both 18-hole and 9-hole courses we play on were opened to the public in 1976 and Broome Manor Golf Club, based within Broome Manor Golf Complex, was established a year later. In November 2014, a 75-year lease was acquired from Swindon Borough Council by Twigmarket Ltd. The extensive golf and leisure facilities at Broome Manor Golf Complex are managed by Community Golf Leisure Trust Ltd.

We are proud to boast that Broome Manor Golf Club was where David Howell started out, becoming a European Tour player with a number of European tour victories under his belt, and was a member of the winning European Ryder Cup Team in 2004 and 2006.

Several of the founder members of the golf club are still active members and the Club Championship has been sponsored, since it began in 1978, by Deacons Jewellers of Old Town, Swindon.

All four sections (Men, Ladies, Senior Men and Juniors) are successful and well supported, with over 100 single handicap players, a measure of the club’s strength.

MESSAGE FROM THE 2024 CAPTAIN

2024 Club Captain Andrew Courtney

Captains charity – The Prospect Hospice. It is my great pleasure to introduce myself to you all as your Club Captain for the 2024 Season.  My name is Andrew Courtney but everyone refers to me as ‘Courts’.  

I am deeply privileged to be given this opportunity by Paul Turland  who has twice been Captain here at Broome Manor, and what a great job he’s done.

I have been a member at Broome for over 18 years now and play off a handicap of 5.9 (not bad for a lefty!).  

I am very passionate about this club and together with the support of my vice captain Neil Parsons and my extremely supportive wife have already brought about positive changes to the club including the introduction of the Captains Series Sponsor Ecomerchant

The other Captains this year are:

Ladies Captain –  Jane Austin

Seniors Captain – Mike Welsh

Junior Captain – Ethan Batstone 

I wish them all a successful season for 2024/25

As you can see my chosen Charity for this year will be Swindon Prospect Hospice, this is also the Junior Captains charity and one that is close to Ethan’s heart through personal experience. I urge you to please read the About charity link below which explains why.

BMGC JUNIOR SECTION

 

2024 Junior Captain Ethan Batstone

This years Junior Captain Ethan Batstone is currently studying in the USA having gained a golf scholarship. Whilst he is away his captain duties have been taken up by his Vice Captain Thomas Le Leivre

Working in partnership with the SPGA (Swindon Premier Golf Academy) we have developed a single Junior Membership, the Academy brings players through 3 groups on the 9 hole course;  Cubs (Very Short Course), Tigers (Short Course) and Super Tigers (Full 9 hole course), the juniors progress through these groups as their experience and skills grow, once they reach a certain standard at the Super Tiger level they progress to full Junior Membership of the club and are eligible for all 9 hole and 18 hole competitions. By creating this pathway we hope to keep the pipeline of junior golfers continuing.

Our Junior Organising Group which is led by Andrew Batstone actively looks to put on competitions at all levels to develop our young golfers. The Junior Team compete in the Wiltshire Junior League as well as the Wiltshire Golf Cup competitions and also enter national competitions. As the section grows the demand for more junior competitions at all levels increases and the team are looking at how a varied mix of competitions that brings golfers of all levels of experience and skills together can be achieved.
