Day after h4h

If you are playing at Swinley, James R and I are also playing there the day after H4H - I think there were a couple of spots available, might be worth giving him a shout.
 
Wow - just wow , what a course - just stunning , completely blown away by how wonderful a course it is. I didn't stop smiling the whole way round and the only time I was disappointed was when I realised we only had two holes left - I just wanted to keep on playing the course

Every single hole was stunning , it all had its own character , every green was just spotless , the views were stunning , the stories about various benches etc all just part of the character and history of the course - the par 3's were the best I have ever played , everyone we met took time to say hello .

The artisan clubhouse is just perfect - for ex military types it was an exact picture of an old sports and social or supply bar - Paul our host was a perfect gent and I now know why he is always smiling - I would playing there every day - I'm still smiling about the course now

No idea what I scored and tbh I didn't really care I was just enjoying myself too much

That's my benchmark now - for me that's my number one course and not going to apologies for going overboard about it :D

Thank you once again Paul and cheers for the company and well played Mark and Nick

Thats exactly what we thought the other week. It felt like it had been the quickest round of golf ever and going out for the second 18 didn't feel remotely like a struggle either:D

Time did vanish this morning. It was a treat of the highest order supplied by Paulw4701. It tried to rain on us when we arrived but stopped just as we arrived on the first tee. Paul, you are a lucky man but a man who likes to spread that luck around.

Thank you.
 
Cheers mark and phil for yours comments yesi truly are a very lucky man to call swinley forest my home course and i can on behalf of the 40 artisan members say it is a great privilege to be able to play this truly magnificent. Course and no doubt some of the other forum members will get a chance to be my guests in the future. And on yesterday i thought it was a fitting tribute to rick with a great turnout and played in a great spirit long may it continue a very big well done to all the organisers and everybody that supported the day. Paul

Having played Swinley Forest 3 times in 3 weeks at the end of August/middle of September, once as a guest of Paul (What a nice guy creep creep :)
I can only echo LP's comments, for me it is the epitome of what a golf course should be.

Easily the best course I have ever played on and I would love to be able to play it again

Glad you enjoyed it today, it is a rather special place
 
Many thanks Paul, that was the best course I've played without a doubt.

Everywhere you looked the views were just stunning. Although there were trees all around you didn't feel hemmed in like you can on some courses, the bunkering was spot on, the greens were superb, the company was excellent, even managed to hit a few decent shots, what more can you asked for from a round of golf?
The history and anecdotes all added to the experience. My favourite was from the annual match between the members and the artisans; Paul had stuck his ball in a tricky lie but then played a lovely chip, his opponent exclaimed, "Bladdy good shot, hoped you'd fack it up!"

I was so at one with golf afterwards that I stopped off at my home course on the way home for a quick 18.

Thanks again Paul, that round will live long in the memory.

Perfectly matches my view of the place! Best set of Par 3s on any course I've played!

Used to play it 2 or 3 times a year. Sadly, neither route available anymore. the Lunch is top notch too!

Caddied round it a few months ago and that was also a joy!
 
Nobody should return if you've played it before, so creep all you like, it's time for other forumites to be given an opportunity 😜👍😉🤔🏌⛳️

What tee would you like next year 😜

I've also played it a few times and used the artisan clubhouse and I can only echo what others have said and what a delight the course and clubhouse both are. If I could play one course for the rest of my life, especially locally to me, this would be it
