Golfing Elite is proud to present The Alwoodley Golf Club.

It may not be the Augusta National but it is definitely worthy of the undisputable talents of Dr Alister Mackenzie.

Forming part of the famous stretch of golfing territory on the northern fringe of Leeds in Yorkshire, The Alwoodley Golf Club:

• Was the first course to be designed by the famous golf architect, Dr. Alister MacKenzie, whose other masterpieces included Augusta National, Cypress Point and Crystal Downs in the United States, and Royal Melbourne in Australia
  
• Ranks as one of the top 50 Championship courses in the UK & Ireland
  
• Is rated No 2 in Yorkshire and is closely compared with Ganton
  
• Five star rating in Golf World "1000 Best Courses in Britain & Ireland"
  
• Regularly hosts county and national tournaments

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 which American visitors find especially appealing.

In addition to its scenic beauty, the course is plentifully and cunningly bunkered and has 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 11th greens have been altered from the original designs. They have been in place over 70 years.
