The New 1st Tee
The club wanted to address this at the same time as the new putting green. We had the chance to level the existing main tee as well as extending the championship tee to link up with the putting green. We've also levelled the ladies' tee and added a new winter tee.

1929 Ryder Cup, Moortown
The matches were played in late April and, on the Wednesday, a blizzard swept in and covered the course in an inch of snow.
To their credit the Americans played on to acclimatise themselves while the British returned to Harrogate to use the baths..

Designer Clyde Johnson on the changes to the short par 4 ๐งต

Two views from behind the 9th green..
How Dr Alister MacKenzie described it in 1929: 'When the flag is placed on the right of the green, as it ought to be for matchplay, it is desirable to go for this gap (off the tee) so as to obtain a clear run in for one's second'

The 9th
Another of maybe one of Moortown's more underrated holes which can be stretched to 473 yards off the very back tees..
Fairway bunkers and a ditch are the hole's main defences off the tee before a long iron (for most of us) to an angled green. One of the tougher SI 7s
