Venue

Moortown Golf Club

West Yorkshire, England

Founded in 1909, Moortown Golf Club was designed by renowned architect Dr Alister MacKenzie, who also created Augusta National and Cypress Point. Set across 175 acres of dramatically contrasting woodland and moorland terrain, the course features primarily level topography characteristic of an inland layout. Moortown holds a prominent position among England's finest championship courses and is particularly notable for hosting the first Ryder Cup match on British soil in 1929. The club has established a rich tournament history, hosting numerous professional and amateur championships with notable winners including Sir Nick Faldo, Bernard Gallagher, Danny Willett, and Sir Michael Bonallack. Recognized as a Top 100 Golf Course, Moortown combines MacKenzie's masterful design with its distinctive Yorkshire setting. The course's landscape of mixed woodland and open moorland creates varied playing conditions, while its championship status reflects both its technical difficulty and enduring design quality. The combination of strategic routing, natural terrain, and MacKenzie's architectural principles continues to challenge golfers across all levels.
