With its undulating fairways and small plateau greens you will soon discover that Swanston does not need length to provide the difficulty factor.

Not one of the holes is lacking in character and the Hare Burn, which traverses the course through a beautiful little glade, provides a perfect natural hazard. By the card the course looks simple but once underway you will find that a misplaced shot will not be forgiven especially at the seventh, a long par four, where the approach shot is not for the faint-hearted. The par threes can be treacherous - par all six and your on your way to a winning score. Although the course is set in the Pentland Hills it is strategically laid out so that comparatively little climbing is necessary and when you reach the par three fifteenth you will be rewarded with one of the most impressive views across the city of Edinburgh.
