About the course...

Baildon Golf Club’s unique lay out and rolling panoramic views from well manicured greens and closely mown yet generous fairways are second to none.

This superb 18 hole course is cut out of the moorland and was designed by Tom Morris, James Braid and Joe Wilkinson. The heritage the course retains, from remaining mostly unchanged since it was laid out, is complemented by the contemporary clubhouse that boasts all the modern amenities and welcoming atmosphere needed to make it a popular venue for open competitions.

The course being virtually treeless gives you the opportunity to experience the type of golf that lures so many of the greats to play whatever the weather in The Open Championship. It is this likeness to the classic open courses that gave a helping hand to Baildon’s most famous member Gordon J Brand who finished 2nd to Greg Norman in the 1986 Open.
