From the Meadowbrook website:
Founded in 1927 as the Meadowbrook Club, Brookfield has a rich heritage. The name change occurred in 1943 when 28 members financed the purchase of the Meadowbrook Club and its equipment.
Located in Clarence, New York, Brookfield Country Club was established in 1927 and 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 by Canadian Architect, William Harries, the golf course spreads over approximately 170 acres and can be described as a traditional layout, with subtle elevation change, mature tree lined fairways and small to medium sized greens.
