Our Society Championships returns to the calendar after a few years away. This competition has seen some good action, great competitiveness and valuable socialising between our local groups since we met up at Forest of Arden for the first one back in 2016. Some of those who were there on a demanding and long 36-hole day then (have forgiven us!) and will compete again this time around.
This collage photo below is from our previous society championship at Gaudet Luce in 2021 and all of the fourball teams representing local groups who competed with us.
For the return of this important event, we’re keeping it nice and central in the region and close as possible to the motorway in order to get as many groups over as possible. We’re inviting four balls from at least 20 active Midlands golf societies who run annual group calendars to compete with us, pick your best 4 and come and join us.
The date is Monday September 28th – the venue is Great Barr Golf Club near Walsall, extremely close to junction 7 of the M6. A club with a very welcoming nature and large function space that we’ll need, a course that has steadily improved over the years in becoming one of the most attractive and reliable challenges in the West Midlands.

ABOUT THE VENUE
A mere 5 miles from Birmingham City Centre, Great Barr Golf Club offers breathtaking views and challenging play for golfers at every skill level. Well-groomed tree lined fairways and lush greens ensures your game is tested but always enjoyable.
The course has always been maintained to a high standard, its often the main reasons why the membership is healthy and visitors return time after time. The club continues to invest into the development of the course but always ensuring it offers a fair test of golf for all ages and abilities.
