The 1895 Club concept was instigated by three Edinburgh-based clubs whose centenary year coincided with each other. Enquiries were sent out to other 1895 centenary clubs throughout the country inviting their participation. After some correspondence, representatives of 19 clubs attended a meeting at Handsworth Golf Club in Birmingham where some fine tuning was made, and agreement reached to constitute the 1895 Club. Bush Hill Park later joined the group, whose purpose is to foster relationships and offer reciprocal courtesy arrangements between members of participating clubs.

Members should make their own arrangements with the Club they wish to visit by letter or phone, with the requisite notice. 

Members should take with them a letter of introduction confirming their membership of Bush Hill Park and current handicap index, which is available from the Office. 

For visits to take place home Clubs should be separated by 75 miles.

Some Clubs impose limits on courtesies after which green fees are charged.

James Braid (6 February 1870 – 27 November 1950) was a Scottish professional golfer, five-time the winner of The Open Golf Championship, and a prolific golf course architect. There are thought to be some 406 courses either designed originally or altered by James Braid. His courses can be found not just in the UK but all over the world, and some notables include Aberdovey, Gleneagles, Royal Mussleburgh, Royal Blackheath, Southport and Ainsdale, as well as The St. Andrews Golf Club in New York!

The Association of James Braid Courses now has 296 member clubs. Although Bush Hill Park was originally designed by Harry Vardon, Braid visited to advise on changes to the course. Bush Hill Park Golf Club members and members of all the clubs in the Association can enjoy preferential green fees at these courses by booking in advance.
