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.

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, with an estimated opening of April 2025.
