GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENT AT BROOKFIELD COUNTRY CLUB The Golf Course Superintendent is a professional, driven, and team-oriented communicator with a passion for consistently providing exceptional firm, fast, and green golfing conditions. This person will have experience with and an understanding of great clubs and top golf course architecture, along with strong agronomic, organizational, and leadership skills. Click here to review a brief video of Brookfield Country Clubs golf course. Click here for a brief overview of Brookfield Country Clubs ongoing golf course initiatives. Click here for Brookfield Country Club’s website. About the Club: Brookfield Country Club is a prestigious, member-owned private club located in Clarence, NY. Founded as the Meadowbrook Club in 1927, Brookfield has a long and rich heritage. About the year 1925, a real estate promoter conceived the idea of an elegant family golf and country club whose golf course would be surrounded by the homes of the members. An exclusive young club membership made the Meadowbrook the best golf club in the district, and the social center of the area. The change of the Club’s name to Brookfield occurred in 1943 when 28 members financed the purchase of the Meadowbrook Club and its equipment. Since then, Brookfield has enjoyed an active, steady membership and continuous expansion of the club's facilities and amenities. Brookfield has served as host to such prestigious events as the 1948 Western Open won by Mr. Ben Hogan, and the 1985 USGA Junior Boys Championship won by Mr. Charles Rymer. Designed in 1927 by Canadian Architect, William Harries, the 18-hole golf course spreads over approximately 170 acres and can be described as a traditional parkland layout, with subtle elevation changes, mature tree lined fairways and small to medium sized greens. Brookfield completed an exciting $2 million renovation to the course in 2014 enlisting golf course architect Mr. Mark A. Mungeam. Restoration guided by the course Master Plan included rebuilding all bunker facilities along with course improvements to both provide conditions to PGA specifications while returning the course to much of its historical and original design. This has made Brookfield Country Club one of the premier courses in the greater Buffalo-Niagara Region. In addition to the well-manicured course, our golf facilities include a newly renovated driving range, chipping & putting greens, a 3-hole junior course, and a practice hole. The course is a par 72 that plays between 5,882 and 6,973 yards. From the Championship Tees, it carries a USGA course rating of 74.3 with a slope of 148 with multiple tee complexes to serve varied skill levels. In 1991, the clubhouse was completely renovated adding a new, larger Grill Room and bar, men's and ladies’ locker rooms, an expanded golf pro shop and more extensive outdoor dining facilities. The traditional canopied clubhouse entrance was upgraded and the ballroom (site of major club functions) was refurbished. The jewel of the expansion was The Meadowbrook Room, an elegant dining room suitable for smaller club functions and private parties. The 30,000 square foot clubhouse also included several outdoor patios including a picturesque, covered patio which overlooks the 18th green. In October 2022, Brookfield embarked on a major clubhouse renovation. The clubhouse will become a brand new, state of the art, comprehensive 54,000 square foot clubhouse offering many amenities. Clubhouse Project Details: The Project brings a complete modernization to the membership. We analyzed the Club’s previous square footage and operational deficiencies and considered revenue optimization, right sizing of various spaces to meet member needs and wants and evaluate membership growth opportunities without negatively impacting the golf course experience. That said, the new amenities and exciting features of the renovated Club will include: • Larger and renovated Men’s locker room featuring steam showers, new member lockers, and additional space for members and guests. • New men’s card room overlooking 18th green with a bar and private outdoor patio space. • New and renovated Ladies locker room featuring steam showers, updated lockers, and additional space for members and guests. • New ladies lounge area, including a bar and private outdoor space with views of the 18th green and surrounding course. • 4,248 SF Wellness Center featuring state of the art equipment, personal training, group fitness classes, day lockers and more. • A simulator lounge with 2 golf simulators with food/beverage service. • New and enhanced Halfway House with a sophisticated menu to serve golfers and Wellness Center members alike. • New Pro Shop and Bag storage area. • State of the art new performance kitchen facilities with brand new equipment, doubling that of the former Club in order to better serve members, member events and tournaments. • New member Grotto, featuring a wine cellar, private tasting room, humidor and cigar shop, and outdoor covered patio with lounge seating and fire pits. • New and improved Grille Room with expanded seating, additional TV’s, large fireplace, floor to ceiling windows, sophisticated bar program, and outdoor seating overlooking the course. • Larger Ballroom featuring indoor and outdoor seating, dividers for flexible space and a dedicated pre-function area. • Fantastic golf course views from all member areas. In addition to superb dining facilities and Club Events, Brookfield offers three tennis courts/four pickleball courts and a seasonal outdoor swim complex to complete the Country Club experience for the whole family. Junior development programs start at age 3 for swim and tennis, and age 5 for golf. Brookfield hosts more than 40 Golf and Social events throughout the year for Men, Women, Couples, and Families.
