Golf in Swansea

Swansea is a growing St. Clair County suburb east of Belleville, occupying terrain in the gently hilly interior of the county away from the flat river bottomlands. The community takes its name from the Welsh city of Swansea, reflecting the British heritage of early settlers in this part of Illinois. Swansea has grown substantially as Metro East suburbanization has pushed eastward, and Swansea Clinton Hills Conservation Park provides recreational golf within a naturalized setting that the conservation park framing distinguishes from conventional course development. Illinois' changing seasons create an enthusiastic golf community that maximizes every available day of good weather, sustaining the local course as a central gathering point through the compressed but celebrated Midwest golf season.
