Yet another glorious Harry Colt design, little appears to have changed here since the course opened for play a century ago. While its illustrious Berkshire neighbours attract visitors in larger numbers and groups, a game at Swinley's relatively short, but delightful and hugely sporty course, will be a much more private, peaceful and intimate affair.

Panellists' comments: "Truly charming"; "What it lacks in length, it more than makes up for in subtlety"; "Legendary lunch"
