Course Introduction and Description:
Alwoodley Golf Club was founded in 1907 and is officially recognised as one of Britain's finest inland courses. It was the first course to be designed by the famous golf architect, Dr Alister MacKenzie, whose other masterpieces of course included Augusta National.
Forming part of the famous stretch of golfing territory on the northern fringe of Leeds in Yorkshire, it features in the Top 100 of the World Courses and ranks as one of the top 50 Championship courses in the UK & Ireland
The course layout forms part of Wigton Moor and is of a natural moorland character. Springy fairways cut through a profusion of heather, whins and shrubs, with the trees particularly striking in autumn. The course is cunningly bunkered and has large undulating and interesting greens.
Over the years this impressive course has stood the test of time and is now in the best condition it has been for many years. Today only the 10th and 6th greens have been altered from the original designs and this was completed many years ago.
