Broadway at Broadway Golf Club

Broadway Golf Club sits on the western edge of the Cotswolds escarpment near the village of Broadway in Worcestershire (despite the Gloucestershire designation often used). James Braid designed the course in 1895, making it one of his earlier works and among the oldest layouts in the region. The course occupies elevated ground at roughly 1,000 feet above sea level, offering expansive views across the Vale of Evesham toward the Malvern Hills and, on clear days, into Wales.

The routing takes advantage of the natural contours of the Cotswold landscape, with fairways running across gently rolling terrain characterized by the limestone geology typical of the area. Braid's design reflects the strategic principles of the era, with well-positioned hazards and greens that reward thoughtful approach play. The course measures relatively modest by modern standards but presents a genuine test of accuracy and course management, particularly when the wind sweeps across the exposed higher ground.

Broadway village itself is a notable Cotswolds destination, known for its honey-colored stone architecture and historical character. The club maintains a traditional members' club atmosphere, serving both local golfers and visitors exploring the region. The clubhouse and facilities reflect the course's long history, providing a straightforward, welcoming environment typical of established English golf clubs outside major metropolitan areas.
