About Swanston Golf Club

Swanston sits on the lower slopes of the Pentland Hills on the southern fringe of Edinburgh, close to the thatched cottage settlement that gave Robert Louis Stevenson's family their childhood retreat. The golf club was founded in 1927 as a course for women only, opening to men the following year when it was extended to a full 18 holes. That layout stood largely unaltered until 2006, when work began on seven new holes; these opened for play in March 2009, alongside a clubhouse completed in 2007. In April 2016 the course took in two further holes from the former Lothianburn Golf Course next door. Alongside the main 18, Swanston runs a nine-hole par-3 course called the Templar, plus a driving range and separate chipping and putting practice areas. The Swanston Golf Academy, with six covered bays and twelve grass bays, is open to members and the public, and shares the site with a club-fitting studio run by Scott Gourlay of Scott Gourlay Golf Technology.

Where to find it

The address is 111 Swanston Road, Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh, EH10 7DS. It is about 4.2 miles from Edinburgh. That is a straight-line distance. The sidebar links to the club website and lists its phone number. Use the map below, since it shows the exact spot.

Check the club website for tee times, because visitor rules differ by club. Ask for the current green fee, since we do not list one. Pack a waterproof layer, because UK weather changes fast.
