Swinley Forest Golf Club

An emaculate course laid-out by Harry Colt, Swinley Forest should be on your must-play list.

If you like to tee up with just the birds, the bees and perhaps a Labrador for company then this immaculate Harry Colt layout should be on your must-play list.

As picturesque and well-established as its heathland neighbours at Sunningdale and The Berkshire, golfing here makes you feel like nothing has changed for centuries.

Although not long by modern standards, the single par 5 and the collection of outstanding par 3s still make this a genuine test of skill.

It's got bags of style and charm to spare, as well as the best treacle tart you are ever likely to find.

Vistors can only play with a member, so despite its picturesque beauty this one of the harder courses in the UK to play on.

The leading website from the world’s oldest golf magazine, we’re the go-to destination for amateur and keen golfers alike who are keen to up their golfing game. As well as expert course reviews, news and tips to improve your handicap our golf-focused travel content will help you pair teeing off with your travels in some of the best destinations around the globe.
