Swanston Golf Course sits snugly on the lower slopes of the Pentland Hills adjacent to Hillington ski slopes and adjoining Lothianburn Golf Club. The course enjoys magnificent views over Edinburgh, the Firth of Forth and onwards to Fife. A local story tells of a search party sent out to find a party of American tourists who had set out to play the course but had not returned. The club secretary upon finding the lost party, encumbant amongst the heather on the 13th was offered the explanation, "Gee, this is the best view I've ever had. And all for only £3".
The course itself follows the contours of the land and takes a gentle climb upwards to the 12th tee upon which you stand on what is known to the locals as "Cardiac Hill". The 8th hole is reckoned to be the most beautiful on the course with an elevated tee down to a horseshoe green. It has a 201 yard carry and is surrounded by gorse bushes that turn a striking yellow in summer. In the height of summer the quality of the greens is well recognised.
After your round, feel free to relax in our clubhouse where Richard Fyvie the professional and David Wyse the clubmaster will do their best to make your day an enjoyable one. There is a lovely bar that does excellent catering and all in all visitors will be made most welcome.
