How to Organise a Golf Society

Organising a golf society can be incredibly rewarding, but it also takes planning. From inviting players to deciding competition formats and keeping track of scores, there's plenty to think about before the first tee shot.

With a little preparation, your golf society can run smoothly and become something members look forward to throughout the year.

1. Choose Your Players

Start by deciding who will be part of your golf society. Whether it's a small group of friends or a larger society, keeping everyone connected makes organising future events much easier.

2. Pick Your Venue

Choose a golf course that suits the ability of your group. Booking tee times early is especially important during the busy golf season.

3. Decide on Competition Formats

Mixing up your competitions keeps every event enjoyable.

Popular formats include:
