Broadway Golf Club, Willersey Hill
Broadway Golf Club is an 18-hole members' course on Willersey Hill above Broadway, with views across the Vale of Evesham to the Malvern Hills and the Black Mountains. Visitors are welcome on weekdays and at weekends, subject to availability, and book through the pro shop.
The course and its history
The club was instituted on 18 April 1895, with its founder, local doctor Charles Turner Standring, as captain. Early golfers played a few makeshift holes in Deans Meadow, and the club moved several times before settling in 1911 on what members call 'the bottom nine'; the present course was started in 1910 and extended to 18 holes in 1962. It sits on the Cotswold escarpment, and the high, well-drained ground keeps the course playable all year. Broadway is a founder member of the 1895 Club, a group of golf clubs formed in the same year that offer each other reciprocal playing rights.
