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. New for 2021/22 is a comprehensive programme of 9-hole qualifying competitions on a new WHS rated course, perfect for players new to the game or those wishing to play on a shorter course.

GOLF CLUB WITH HISTORY

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 2023 CAPTAIN

Captains charity – MindIt is my great pleasure to introduce myself to you all as your Club Captain for the 2023 Season. My name is Paul Turland but everyone refers to me as ‘Turls’. This will be my second tilt at being the Captain of this fantastic club, only the second person to have this accolade with the other being Pete Smith in 1981 and 1996.

I am deeply privileged to be given this opportunity by Nigel Wright this year’s Captain, and what a great job he’s done.

I have been a member at Broome for 18 years now and play off a handicap of 7. I am very passionate about this club and hope that we can all have a smooth golfing 2023. Alongside me as my Vice Captain will be Andrew Courtney, an even longer serving member than me.

The other Captains this year are Joanne Brookes – Ladies, Kev Regan – Seniors and Niamh Cripps Juniors. Niamh will also be the Wiltshire Juniors Captain this year. I wish them all a very successful 2023.

As you can see my chosen Charity for this year will be ‘Mind’. I urge you to please read the About charity link below which explains why.
