Reliable Swan
Third time playing this course. Played twice last summer and now early September it was the same- probably better because the greens were great.. Swan remains entertaining, challenging, and yet local. Expect to lose balls in brush or water as the course demands accurate fairway shots. It’s makes you carry water straight off the 1st tee and on 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 16 and 18. Certainly a challenge if you’re water phobic.
The open lanai bar is welcoming and accessible. Electric carts have GPS cobbled on but functional. Traps can have puddles after rainy weather. Overall I’m eager to play again and hope you enjoy your round at the Swan.
Great layout
Course is fun to play with a variety of challenges. Although there were facilities for food and drinks they are not open. Curious.
majestic
Hidden gem. Well worth the visit. Every hole has its own character. Will definitely be back
Two hour ride
I drove 2 hours to play this course. I will do it again. They had a lot of rain night before, the only place I noticed was in the sand traps that had water in them. The greens were one of the best I played on this year. The fairways were in great shape too. My only warning to you is don't be too far off some of the fairways or you won't find your ball.
Great experience again
Course was in great shape and pace of play was also great for a Sunday morning. Andrew at the pro shop was a great ambassador of the course again as he has always been in the past. Keep up the good, hard work by all the staff including the groundskeepers! Even though the course is an hour away from my home, it is worth the drive.
Swan never disappoints...well......
The course and the conditions were fabulous....staff are friendly for the most part, but they treat GolfNow patrons differently. We had a 1:30 tee time...pulled in at 1...were told we cannot have carts as they were 'coming in' and some were not properly charged. Well, when the 2 carts that were sitting next to the practice green went to another 4some....the 1:40 tee time...we were confused. I asked again if we can get carts to load up bags, etc....were told we can have carts at 1:30....ok not gonna let a bag boy upset me and the crew......got a couple carts that had torn seats and away we go....
Course was in good shape, and we had a blast....but c'mon man...the Swan wants to present as a high end facility.....treat everyone the same.
The swan
Tee boxes were hard as a rock needed two hands to sink my tee into. The traps were filled with packed dirt and stones, No one came out to help with bags or show how to turn on the golf cart gps. I did not eat there but $ 31 for a burger is nuts. The greens fees are average for the area but everything else is sub par
Very good condition but restraurant was closed.
The course was in very good condition and the staff was extremely friendly and professional. It was busy so pace of play was average to slow. Unfortunately the bar restaurant was was being cleaned and wasn't open.
