Alwoodley Golf Club
The Original MacKenzie
“Harry Colt raved about MacKenzie’s work at Alwoodley – much to the delight of the members”
The MacKenzie Institute
One of the world’s great heathland courses
Alwoodley was the first golf course to be designed by the great Dr. Alister MacKenzie.
This famed architect has left an incredible legacy of classic courses – among them Augusta National, Cypress Point and Royal Melbourne. But Alwoodley was where it all began and his Original MacKenzie layout remains largely unaltered to this day.
A regular host of the most prestigious events in amateur golf for both men and women, Alwoodley is widely acknowledged as one of the finest heathland courses in the world.
Alwoodley really is a sum of its parts, a fine collection of varied holes which test, entice and always entertain.
