Functions
Originally founded in 1896 under the title Clayton golf club, Brookdale was renamed upon its move to Lord Lane Failsworth in September 1905, where it was a very popular nine-hole course. There it stayed until 1962 when it moved to its present home in the Woodhouses area of Failsworth, and became a twelve-hole course. Its popularity and membership increased, forcing the purchase of new land to make it an eighteen-hole course, a project completed in 1973.
Measuring 5645 yards, with a par of 68, off the yellow tees, it is not a particularly long course so the real challenge comes from choosing your clubs carefully to avoid overhitting and missing the green. Golfers of all abilities will find this a demanding but ultimately rewarding course.
