Swanston Golf Course

The planned route of the new holes (opening July 2008) has been changed because of the following benefits (originally they were going to be 1st six holes, now they'll play as the last six):

  • New 18th green will be visible from clubhouse•
  • 1st tee manageable from new pro-shop/reception
  • 3 loops of 6 holes back to clubhouse
  • 2 nines more balanced
  • Original signature holes eg: 8th remain as they are
  • After 12th hole golfers can walk on to new bar terrace for ‘refreshments’ on way to 13th.
