From published 2026 society rates at English golf clubs we checked:
| What’s included | Typical price per golfer |
|---|---|
| 18 holes only (society green fee) | £30 to £55, cheaper in winter and midweek |
| Coffee and bacon roll, 18 holes | £47 to £55 |
| Coffee and bacon roll, 18 holes, two-course meal | £67 to £75 |

Most clubs need a minimum group (we saw 8, 12 and 16) for society rates. Prices vary a lot by region, course and season; always confirm with the club.
How much to charge members
- Start from the club’s price. Green fee plus food per head, from the club’s society package.
- Add the society entry. £5 to £15 per player for prizes on the day and the end-of-season trophies. The prize fund calculator shows what that buys.
- Round up, don’t pad. Round to a tidy figure for easy payments and say where any extra goes. Members trust a society that shows its sums.
- Set a drop-out rule. Once final numbers go to the club, the society usually still pays for that place, so the member who drops out pays too unless someone takes their spot.
How much to charge for a golf society day: questions organisers ask
How much does a golf society day cost per person?
Usually £45 to £75 per golfer for 18 holes with a bacon roll and a meal, plus a society entry of £5 to £15 for prizes. Green fee only society rates are commonly £30 to £55.
Do golf clubs give discounts to societies?
Yes. Most golf clubs offer society rates or packages for groups above a minimum size, often 8 to 16 golfers, usually with a deposit and final numbers before the day.
When do golf societies book their venues?
Months ahead. Many organisers book the following season between November and January, when clubs release society dates and the popular weekends are still free.
What if a golf society member drops out?
Most golf societies say that once final numbers are with the club, a drop-out still pays unless their place is filled from the waiting list. Put it in your rules before the season.
