Alwoodley Golf Club
Yorkshire
The Alwoodley Golf Club, founded in 1907, is officially recognised as one of Britain's finest inland courses. Alwoodley 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. As a result Alwoodley ranks as one of the top Championship courses in the UK and Ireland. Springy fairways cut through a profusion of heather, whins and shrubs, and the course is plentifully and cunningly bunkered with 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. In the mid 90's extensive improvements were made at Alwoodley including a £1.5m investment in its Club House, providing excellent catering, bar and changing facilities. Other amenities include an impressive dining room, bar, card, billiard and television rooms and a superbly stocked Pro Shop.
