A Herbert Fowler masterpiece since his redesign in 1923, the course is a fine example of heathland golf.
The Bradford Golf Club is a haven from the hustle and bustle of modern life’s demands. Set in the tranquil countryside of the hamlet of Hawksworth, near the city of Leeds, the course commands stunning views towards the Aire valley and Bradford’s industrial heritage while providing an excellent test of golfing skills for all abilities.
Recent significant work and investment in the course has enhanced Fowler’s design principles improving playing quality even more, while the clubhouse provides a truly enjoyable off-course experience and provides an idyllic venue.
We strive to be one of Yorkshire’s premier golf clubs where members can enjoy playing our incredible course whilst also creating lifelong friendships.
Enjoy a truly memorable day in beautiful Yorkshire moorland surroundings.
Our History & Heritage
Established at Baildon in 1891 as The Bradford St Andrews Golf Club, the club changed its name in 1894 and was relocated to its present site in 1899.
Our Proud Heritage
The original Clubhouse was opened on 9th November 1900 by the Rt. Hon. A.J. Balfour MP, Leader of the House of Commons and Prime Minister (1902-05).
W Herbert Fowler
In 1922-23 the course was substantially altered by the golf architects Messrs. Fowler and Simpson. They made the layout similar to the course you see today. The course was further improved with alterations to the drainage and the construction of new bunkers. In more recent times, the open moorland aspect of the course has been modified by a tree planting programme.
