Moor Allerton is the first golf course designed in the UK by the famous American architect Robert Trent Jones and as such is typical of his work. (His other courses include Spyglass Hill, Hazeltine and Sotogrande). The Trent Jones trade marks of shallow bunkers, huge teeing grounds, lakes and large contoured greens are all evident with three loops of nine holes, that all start and finish at the Club house.

The three loops of 9 holes, the Lakes, Blackmoor and High are all of a quality that ensures whatever 18 holes are played they can accommodate the scratch golfer or the beginner. The course would typically stretch between 6470-6841 yards, with SSS of 73-74. By using alternate tees, the course can however be altered between 5940 - 6841 yards.

"I have always considered that if you can clearly remember every hole on a golf course after playing it once there must be something special about it. Moor Allerton is that sort of course. " Richard Dodd, Golf Correspondent, Yorkshire Post.
