Painswick Golf Club

We picked a weekend tee time which meant there were regular pauses to allow the many walkers to cross the fairways. The course is a ‘countryside links’, using the many natural features to create an interesting but challenging environment. Some really fun holes playing onto different levels and stunning scenery throughout.

Even the poor weather could not disguise this interesting course or dampen my enthusiasm for it

Couple of improvements would be better signage (especially to fifth green!) and tee markers

Worth noting no catering on Mondays

Great course though superb views good greens and friendly helpful staff

I don’t like to be negative about a golf course but unfortunately this course is not particularly enjoyable to play with numerous blind uphill holes, very tightly packed together holes and as it is a public walkway you also have lots of people with loose dogs or children walking all over the course, many of which do not want to acknowledge that you are playing a shot and so they could be in danger. There are a few good holes (much prefer the back 9) but too many negative reasons to not want to come back again. VFM wise I would easily recommend Gloucester or Cleeve Hill which are nearby, a better layout and often cheaper.

The USP of this course is the views and scenic experience it give. The fairways and challennging natural format makes for a great roiund, but the greens on this occasion were poor. They have been stabbed for airing, but not rolled so they were full of bobbles and holes making putting not realy viable.

A Great testing course. You need to be on your game for this one. I would like to play again, which we will next year. More directions around the course would help. Plus directions to the course.

Course was in great condition, greens were really fast, only let down by hole 3 which was out of action, due to vandalism so not really the clubs fault.

Really good value and a unique course - no bunkers, ponds or ditches. Overall in pretty condition. Few blind shots but all good fun.

Beware walkers (who are not golfers) and also golfers playing the shared fairways.

No catering or bar service on the monday we played - would have been nice to be told this at the point of booking. Club house and toilets shut when we finished at about 3pm.Pro did sort us out a coffee from the vending machine before we played.

Absolute whopper of a track, more walkers than golfers on the course surprised people haven’t been killed walking around here. People having picnics in fairway, ridiculous. The pro was a nice chap though, shame about his buggy.

Painswick is a fantastic course to play. It is not long but is full of really interesting holes. The condition of the greens yesterday were quite simply excellent. Firm and smooth. The clubhouse was delightful. Great staff, great food and very nicely appointed. We are members of two local clubs so know Painswick GC well but we’re amazed at the quality of what they have developed. Well done we will be back.

The course had too many shared fairways and blind shots. Also very difficult to find the next tee on several holes. Blind par 3 was dangerous

On the day we played the rain did not stop. This made the challenge more interesting. There are several par 3 some of which are very blind. There are walkers on the course but I think due to the weather not an issue.

The map of the course is vague and really could do with improvements also some market boards would help. There are no tee markers only painted coloured spots on the ground which when we played were not visible. A nice course which with a few minor tweeks could be a very nice course to play.

If you don't mess up the tee shot you'll more than certainly mess up a fairway shot. If it is not long grass it is an impenetrable gully

Extremely hot and so only completed 14 holes. Walkers have no regard for golfers which can cause hold ups. The course is a challenge. Be prepared to lose a few balls

Where I love to play golf. Go early to avoid the public who think it’s OK to sit and relax in the middle of the fairway!!

Course is in great condition considering you have the Cotswold Way running through the middle of it.

It’s a challenging course despite being quite short. A perfect tee shot can sometimes turn into a lost ball!

The locals are very friendly and almost all of the members I have met. Shame about the one senior who questioned whether I had paid to play the course, bloomin cheek.

Painswick is a must play golf course. Good luck getting a par on the 6th!

Unfortunately the coarse is hampered by the general public walking all over the coarse.The Cotswold Way goes through the coarse.
