Swinley Forest

A private members’ club in Ascot, Swinley Forest has charmed, inspired and challenged golfers for over 100 years. Founded by Lord Derby and his friends in 1909, his passion resulted in a Golf Club recognised as both very special and different from its first day. The layout remains true to its original Harry Colt design but with subtle enhancements over the years. Swinley plays deceptively long with a combination of par 5s, par 4s and par 3s and at 6431 yards long, with its undulating greens, it delivers a true test of the game, but is set up to deliver a great experience to golfers of all standards.
