That is stunning!

I've just googled it and can't find a website for the course. Is that right or am I being a bit thick?

They don't have a website

That picture doesn't do it full justice.

Every view from all the tees could be perfect golf postcard material

Glad I'm not losing my googling abilities

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.

Cheers crow glad you enjoy it paul

Yes... Swindley is the most understated course, Club, I've ever played.
No pretence, no signs telling you what to do, wear, park nor little metal hoops directing you around the greens etc. For me or was a quiet statement of "We believe you are not hear to hurt or disrespect our course which does not get overused anyway & Anyway we'll just fix it if it needs it."
Blew me away TOTALLY!!
If there's anyway better, I've yet to play it.... & my dogs would love it too 😳 A truly remarkable place in this day & age

A very old set of pics - shamelessly stolen from another forum's meet in Feb 2009! I don't believe the course has changed much, though the slopes of the 15th and 18th greens seem to get steeper and steeper!

Try and play it in mid summer when the Heather is bright purple, stunning

Stunning !! I like the fact it seems such a serene, lovely, and genuine place to play. Out of curiosity, how does someone get to become a member? I take it they ask you, not vice versa !

Nobody knows, its a secret, you need pots of cash and it probably helps to be a retired Brigadier and to know someone who is an existing member.
Its certainly not advertised and as they dont have a website, it all adds to the enigma that is Swinley

What a lovely place to spend an afternoon!
Such a great course in fabulous condition, and what cracking par 3's (I did manage 3 x 2's)!
Thanks to the two Dave's for the company, the club for accommodating us, and Harry Colt for designing such a masterpiece.


One great line from the proshop " the club is pretty quiet at this time of year. The members tend to head down to the Southern Hemisphere when it gets cold"
Different world to what I'm used to.

 

[pokerjoke]

3x2s that's as impressive as the course,just add my name to the list of wanabee,s

Which holes and which tees? None of them were easy.
