There is. From where you drive in, its round to the right of the buildings. Just park up and the pro shop will put you right. Tokens required but I can't remember if they were included in the day. Think they were. Decent practice bunker / chipping green next to it.

Putting green on other side of the clubhouse, back of 18th green.

From Google Maps it looks like there is a driving range - possibly not full length, but good enough.

I'm playing there soon and I cannot wait

That’s right…good chipping green and a driving range but don’t use your driver (possibly not allowed? As not long enough)

It’s superb, you’ll love it…Please play the 4th a lot better than I did tho😱

Count how many Lords and Barons are in the four-ball ahead of you…I think we had 2

How would one get a round at Swinley? Looks incredible..

I think it’s started to become a lot more accessible in recent years, and basically phoning them is your best bet.

We had a 4 ball up for grabs in the charity auction so bid £200 per man and got it. Not sure how that really compares to their actual green fee.

From 1 Oct the winter rate starts, which when I played was about £70 cheaper than full price, which at that time was £180. That was 2016.
I just emailed them nicely and asked for a teetime.
