The famous golf architect Doctor Alastair MacKenzie was a member of Leeds Golf Club between 1900 and 1910. During that time he gave advice on bunkers and the layout of the course. Doctor MacKenzie has influenced the design of many courses including St. Andrews, Prestwick, Troon, Alwoodley, Moortown, Royal Melbourne and, of course, Augusta National. Leeds Golf Club are active members of the Dr. Alastair MacKenzie Society.
In 1909 a substantial new clubhouse was opened, which is now fully modernised to cater for todays needs. The layout of the course changed in 1928 following the construction of the Leeds outer ring road.
Professional golf tournaments are always encouraged and in 1902 the then president of Leeds Golf Club gave the Professional Golfers Association a trophy to be know as The Leeds Cup, to be played for annually.
In 1938 the club hosted the Yorkshire Evening News Trophy for the first time.
Top quality amateur golf has also played a major part with The Leeds Amateur Cup being hosted here since 1912 as well as The Cobble Hall scratch since 1962. Both are still played for every August to this day.
In 2002 the club purchased the lease of the course from the local council, which now allows for the continual update, improvement and ongoing development of the course.
