Brocton Hall Golf Club: Where Tradition Meets Excellence
Welcome to Brocton Hall Golf Club, a distinguished members club nestled within the serene beauty of Sawpit Lane, Brocton, Stafford. This 18-hole parkland course, located on the fringes of the breathtaking Cannock Chase, holds a rich history and promises a memorable golfing experience.
Designed by none other than the iconic Harry Vardon, the course's official opening took place on 12th July 1923, graced by the Fourth Earl of Lichfield. To mark the occasion, an exhilarating exhibition match between the renowned architect Harry Vardon and the esteemed Ted Ray, Open Champion of 1912, was held. Vardon, a six-time winner of The Open and the 1900 US Open, demonstrated his mastery, setting the stage for a course that would stand the test of time.
While not as lengthy as modern counterparts, Brocton Hall's course offers a formidable challenge, demanding precision and accuracy from golfers. The strategic placement of bunkers adds to the thrill, and the original layout, with only minimal alterations over the years, preserves the classic charm envisioned by Harry Vardon. In 2021, the course was re-measured, ensuring it remains in top form to captivate players of every generation.
