Lively oasis in the heart of South Liverpool

 

Allerton is one of the country’s oldest public golf courses, with clear opportunities for enhancement and an expanded leisure and social offer. At Allerton Manor, Green Circle inherited a loss-making liability that had been starved of investment, and with Council-budgets under extreme pressure, was poorly maintained and struggling to survive. The clubhouse was neglected, the condition of the course was beginning to deteriorate and there was a real and imminent threat that this much-loved and valued public golf course could cease to exist.

Looking beyond the immediate challenge, we could always see the underlying strength and potential of Allerton Manor and the possibility of creating an outstanding sporting asset and family leisure destination. Following our appointment, we pledged to create a high-quality golf and leisure facility on a par with the best private club facilities, whilst safeguarding the affordable pay and play principle.

History of Allerton Manor

Allerton Manor originally started life as a municipal golf course, and it is in fact thought to be one of the oldest in the country. During the second world war many municipal golf courses where repurposed, which led to Allerton playing an important part in the war efforts. Many of the cities municipal departments, including a section of the military moved to the golf club during them years, and local legend has it that a German plane once came down and ploughed along the 11th fairway!

In the 1960’s the golf course was a favourite haunt of Beatles legends John Lennon and Paul McCartney, who used to use the public right of way on the course as a shortcut to each others houses. Many of the famous Beatles photographs said to have been taken at Sefton Park, are much more likely to have been taken here at the golf course.

However the history of the land and the Manor house itself dates back even further than the 20thcentury, and begins with rich privateering family, The Fletchers, who first arrived in Liverpool in 1750. Using the fortunes they made from privateering The Fletchers purchased 150 acres of land fronting Allerton road, and began to build an impressive mansion. No sooner than this property was built it had  burnt down, but undaunted they rebuilt the mansion, which they named ‘Allerton’.
