What the club says: Swanston is a member's club firstly but with modern golf and clubhouse facilities Unlike many golf clubs Swanston can truly say that it caters for all golfers from beginners to experienced. The 350 yard driving range, 2 putting greens, short-game area, 9-hole short-course plus the traditional 18-hole course all complement each other to cater for the modern golfer's needs. We also have 6 holiday cottages and a clubhouse Brasserie open to anyone 12 hours a day throughout the year.

Good facilities, poor course
Not impressed by the course. Nice clubhouse and range but the course on on the side of the pentlands so not great. New holes are flatter and better








Swanston New Poor
Not a great course. Top half of course is really bad. New part is ok but drainage issues.









Brought along my non golfing partner and she was made to feel so welcome & was even given a few putting tips and an impromptu welcome committee from the lady members out on the course! By far the most welcoming club I’ve ever played. The Pro, members out on the course everyone up in the stunning brasserie bar makes you feel really like they want you there.
Fantastic contemporary modern clubhouse, the construction of the new driving range and practice facilities are well underway and shaping up. nicely and £12 for 18 holes is a steal
Can’t wait to come back

There was a really friendly atmosphere on and off the course. Helpful and welcoming pro in the shop and friendly waiting staff made the visit very enjoyable! Definitely worth a visit!




Good course would play again and i will be playing again next week

qualified coaches and 2 in training. The set up created at Swanston is the way forward for Golf- relaxed, informal and an all round good set up. Recommend for an outing be it on the full course or if time is tight the 9 hole Templar and the quality of food and service in the Brassiere is excellent.




The course in general was very well kept with greens, fairways and tees all in nice condition. Some of the rough is horrendous though, something that I didn't see the need for to be honest. For example on the long, uphill, into the wind 14th you have a gorse covered hillside to your left and knee deep rough to your right, into the howling wind that we faced any slight pull or cut was completely gone.
The first 6 holes were very nice, the course designer has done a good job there, however the landscape is still a little featureless, but with time I am sure this will improve. Once you cross the road, to what I assume is the older part of the course, the holes are nicely varied and challenging with a couple of spectacular par 3s at the 11th and 15th crossing a small gorge.
I understand they are still looking at a couple more course improvements, I would suggest doing something to make the 2nd shots to the 8th and 14th a little fairer but overall I don't see a huge amount of improving being required.
