Moortown hosted the Ryder Cup in 1929 and has been the venue for numerous professional tournaments and is a great experience.

The 27 holes at Moor Allerton are typical of a Trent Jones designed course and there are several other courses that are worth looking at.

Heading further East is Ganton Golf Club which has also hosted the Ryder Cup as well as the Walker Cup and is one of England’s finest inland golf courses.
