Howard Swan

Practicing in some thirty countries for the last 45 years, Howard Swan is an independent golf course architect at Swan Golf Designs, working for his son, a third-generation designer of the family. Apart from his more recent work – at places such as the links at Lossiemouth in Scotland and on the highly acclaimed 27-hole renovation of Bled in Slovenia, as well as exciting new projects in Belfast and Beirut – Howard has focused much attention on how he feels the game can be grown at the grass-roots level.

He has been active in doing so in Mongolia and in India, but, most recently, this thrust has seen him in Africa, establishing with his South African partner, Kwakye Donkor, the Africa Golf Foundation and advancing this not-for-profit organization’s intent to create Golf Development Centres for education, skills training and enterprise development. This followed the highly successful Africa Golf Summit, co-organized by Swan and held in Johannesburg last September.

Swan teaches and lectures widely, on four continents, on various aspects of golf course architecture, including teaching design principles and practices. He also consults widely on matters of safety of golf course development and of operational management.

The Swan Golf Designs team’s professional approach to the task of course design and construction, as well as their creative skills are well regarded everywhere they work. This creativity is always couched in an appreciation of the natural environment which is applied to all the team’s golf course designs.
