Burnley Golf Club

Burnley Golf Club was founded in 1905 under the name The Glen View Golf Club. The course was originally laid out in 1905 by George Lowe. In 1908, the course was redesigned by Sandy Herd, former British Open champion. In December 1929, the course was visited by James Braid, five-time British Open winner and renowned golf course architect. Braid introduced three new holes, more than thirty bunkers and several new tees and hills. The local newspaper called it extravagant! The layout of the course remains the same after all this time, a testament to the class of James Braid, who said of the course at the time, "In time it will become a course of distinction and will need little or no constructive alteration."More
