Alwoodley golf club is situated in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Founded in 1907, the Alwoodley Golf Club is widely regarded to be the home of one of England’s finest inland courses. The Mackenzie Course was the first to be completed by Dr. Alister Mackenzie, who went on to compile a profile including immense names such as Augusta National, Cypress Point and Royal Melbourne. However of these amazing golf courses, Alwoodley was the first course he designed and this is now known as the Original MacKenzie Course.

The original MacKenzie course layout has remained the same to this day, however the course has since been lengthened to over 6900 yards from the championship tees. The club has always been careful to retain the main characteristics of the beautiful layout left by Dr Alister MacKenzie

Alwoodley Golf Club

MacKenzie was, in fact, a member of the club, and lived and practised in the local area. Alwoodley reflects the fundamental tenets of course design that founded the architect’s continued projects.

The club spans an area of delightful heathland, whose springy turf is perfect for golf. The club itself is traditional and has resisted any temptation to alter MacKenzie’s original design.

The only changes that have come over the years is the lengthening of the championship tees with the course now measuring over 6900 yards making this a real test of golf.

Open Championship regional qualifiers and countless national amateur events are among the high profile events to have graced Alwoodley, so why not follow in some famous footsteps during your golf tour of Leeds’ outstanding championship gems.

Alwoodley Golf Club is ranked as one of the best courses in Yorkshire
