Well worth a visit!

I joined Swanston earlier in the summer and have played there pretty much every week since!
The club is going through a transitional phase at the moment, with six new holes opening for play in the Spring of 2009 and alterations to the existing layout too. A new 9 hole short course also opened this year, with full USGA spec greens, and there is a 350 yard driving range, practice greens/bunkers and a practice putting green.
Over £2 million has been invested in the courses and clubhouse and the facilities are absolutely first class.
Indeed, membership of the club has increased from only 281 in 2005, to a present 750 odd!!

In summary, a very friendly club with a good mix of members, a very clued up management team and excellent facilities.
