The Course
Our 27 holes
Having 27 holes designed as three distinct loops of 9 means we have the perfect formula to maximize the amount of golf you can play and ensure you never struggle to get a tee time.
All the first tees on each loop start at the clubhouse, with each 9th green finishing at the clubhouse. It is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of that spare 2 hours you can squeeze from your schedule!
- Holes 1 through 9, known as the ‘lakes’ loop is the first of our three sets of 9. At 3319 yards off the white tees it provides a fair test for many a golfer.
- Holes 10-18 known as the Blackmoor loop contain several stunning holes. A much narrower set of 9 to challenge you.
- Holes 19-27 known as the High loop naturally elevate you to the highest points on the course. Don’t be deceived by this loop, many a good scorecard has been wrecked on here!
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.
Over a period of 40 years Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed or modified more than 500 courses world-wide including Valderrama, Firestone, Spyglass Hill and Sotogrande.
He laid out 27 holes on 220 acres of undulating Yorkshire countryside in three distinct loops of nine. It is different to its neighbours having large contoured greens, large teeing areas, boldly shaped bunkers and, of course, water hazards.
The classic course design blends beautifully with the surrounding Yorkshire landscape. Many famous players walked these fairways in the days when the PGA European Tour came here. Seve Ballesteros and Nick Faldo. Greg Norman and Brian Barnes. Tom Weiskopf and Tony Jacklin.
Over a number of years Ryder Cup player Howard Clark was attached to Moor Allerton Golf Club as playing professional. Peter Alliss, who was the Head Professional in the early 70’s, reckoned that ‘Moor Allerton is a golfing experience larger than life’.
Moor Allerton is friendly and relaxed, the 27 holes are perfect for a thoroughly entertaining day’s golf.
