Swinley Forest Golf Club
Swinley Forest is Harry Colt's 'least bad design' as he was quoted once. This heathland course with beautiful strategic holes is not exceptionally long but still nice and challenging. As often with Colt designs the par 3's are amazing! The clubhouse looks like a mansion overlooking the 1st,18th and a nice putting green. The staff in there were super friendly and they ma…

Swinley Forest Golf Club
I can only describe Swinley Forest as an experience that must be experienced. If your an avid golfer you must put SF at the top of your bucket list.
