Spring Meeting MMXXIII at Moortown & The Alwoodley Golf Club

2025-01-17T10:50:29+00:00May 16th, 2023|Events, Video|

Our 2023 Spring Meeting was held at Moortown & The Alwoodley Golf Club on the 10th & 11th May. A celebration of the early work by the great Dr Alister MacKenzie who designed and laid out the courses in Leeds. Alwoodley was his maiden attempt and nervous members - keen to find out whether their money was going to good use - appointed HS Colt to come and check the work by this physician turned architect. Not long after, MacKenzie was part of the group of founding memebrs at Moortown looking to establish a course less than a mile from [...]

Goswick Golf Club

2023-03-16T21:55:49+00:00March 16th, 2023|Video|

Back in October we visited Goswick Golf Club, lying on a remote strip of ground 30 miles north of Newcastle and 6 miles south of Berwick upon Tweed. We're delighted with how this film came out - a break from tradition from our usual films! Goswick is a club with a rich history dating back to 1890. The initial course has evolved over time, steadily stretching northwards with the involvement of James Braid, Willie Park Jnr and more recently Mackenzie & Ebert. Because its slightly off the beaten path, not enough spotlight goes to clubs like Goswick, Seaton Carew or [...]

Netherlands Series – Koninklijke Haagsche (Royal Hague)

2023-02-21T19:08:06+00:00February 21st, 2023|Video|

Our fifth and final stop on our Netherlands series is from the revered Koninklijke Haagsche, a.k.a. Royal Hague. Whilst the club was the first to be founded in The Netherlands, the course that now plays home to the club was the brainchild of a wealthy Dutch-Jewish businessman Daniel Wolf. This club boasts a rich and fascinating history. The course is bold. Huge features, commensurate with the land it sits on and rounds out the final stages of the work of Colt and his associates in the Netherlands. https://youtu.be/nY-DLzD5Amc

Netherlands Series – Noordwijkse Golf Club

2023-02-14T19:00:30+00:00February 14th, 2023|Uncategorized, Video|

Our fourth stop off in The Netherlands was at Noordwijkse Golf Club. The most recent links course in the country, and product of passionate members who pioneered the project when the club was left without a home in 1972. The land at Noordwijkse is without doubt the strongest golfing terrain we found in the country. Pure white sand, blown out dunes, rolling and crashing landforms. The club are now embarking on the next chapter in their evolution with the assistance of Martin Ebert who is helping the club with a long term plan. https://youtu.be/SDoSEUP9Ehk

Netherlands Series: Eindhovensche Golf

2023-01-17T23:09:57+00:00January 17th, 2023|Video|

Kicking off with our film on Eindhovensche Golf, this was our first taste of golf in the Netherlands and, curiously, it’s the only club in The Netherlands without the word ‘club’ after its name. The history of Eindhovensche Golf is inseparably entwined with one of the great household names in electronics which was founded in the industrial city of Eindhoven in 1891: the Philips Company.  One of the co-founders, Anton Philips, along with his wife, Anna, had the inspiration to develop recreational and leisure facilities to attract prospective employees to their headquarters. Harry Shapland Colt was engaged to design [...]
