For most golf societies, the calendar for the following year starts taking shape well before the current one ends. Popular dates go early, members want to know where they’re playing, and organisers want the details settled before the season gets underway.
Society golf for 2027 is now open for booking at Allerton Manor Golf Club. Book your day, pay a deposit before 1 December 2026, and we’ll hold 2026 pricing, with society golf from £36 per person.
Society organisers have plenty to juggle. Numbers change, members need notice, and the best spring and summer dates are often the first to be taken. Booking early gives you first choice of dates and tee times, a fixed price you can pass on to members and plenty of time to plan the competition and catering.
It also makes collecting money easier. With a confirmed price per head months in advance, members know exactly what they’re paying, with no surprises closer to the day.
Allerton Manor’s full 18-hole course opened in April 2026, with new holes and course improvements designed by architect Andrew Craven of IDG. The layout offers a varied mix of hole lengths that works well for groups of mixed ability, giving stronger players a proper test without leaving higher handicappers struggling.
For societies that visited when the course was a 16-hole composite, 2027 is a good opportunity to return and play the completed layout. For those who haven’t played Allerton Manor before, it’s a course that rewards a return visit.
One of the biggest attractions of society golf is the opportunity to enjoy the game with a group of like-minded people. Regular society outings bring together golfers of different ages, abilities and handicaps, creating a welcoming environment where everyone can take part.
For some groups, the competitive element is a major part of the occasion, with points, prizes and trophies to play for. Others prefer a more relaxed approach, with the emphasis on enjoying the course and spending time together.
Society golf is also a great way to experience new courses. Playing somewhere different introduces fresh challenges, encourages members to adapt their game and provides plenty to talk about afterwards.
The format you choose shapes the whole day. Most societies include players across a wide range of handicaps, so it pays to pick something that keeps everyone in contention until the final few holes.
Stableford remains the most popular choice. Points are awarded hole by hole against handicap, so a bad hole costs a few points rather than ruining a card. Texas Scramble suits groups with mixed abilities and a more social feel, with teams playing the best shot each time. For societies with a more competitive edge, stroke play is a straightforward test where every shot counts.
Side competitions add something extra to the round. Nearest the Pin, Longest Drive and a Par 3 Challenge give players another target and plenty to talk about afterwards.
Located in South Liverpool, Allerton Manor Golf Club provides a perfect setting for society outings, combining an enjoyable round of golf with facilities for groups to relax and socialise.
Our society golf packages cater for groups of 12 players or more, with options to suit different requirements and budgets.
Groups can choose our golf-only package or add catering, making it easy to arrange an outing that works for their members.

Although the golf is the main attraction, the time spent together before and after the round is often just as important.
Many societies enjoy meeting for breakfast or refreshments before heading onto the course. It gives everyone a chance to catch up, discuss the day’s competition, and prepare for their round.
Society golf days rarely end on the 18th green. Fletcher’s Sports Bar is the natural place to gather, compare scorecards and hand out prizes, with a beer garden and covered terrace for warmer days. The Old Stables offers a sit-down setting for societies marking something special, such as an annual trophy day or end-of-season presentation.
The club is easy to reach from across Liverpool and Merseyside, and on-site parking keeps things simple for groups arriving from different directions.
