Painswick Golf Club

Adore this place. It's not the finest golf course but it's very special. Terrific views along the Cotswold Edge at the peak – glimpses of the Severn Estuary in the distance (does that technically make it a links course?), if you're lucky to catch a clear day; tricky misty starts at other times of the year. Very playable once you know the course, with all its original and unique charm intact. Super-friendly staff, recommend bacon butties in the well presented clubhouse bar. Don't play on Sunday afternoons, the land is very popular with walkers who have precedence on Sundays. NB 200 yard first fairway is steeper than you think... requires fitness if you're carrying.

This course is unique and so much fun to play. Incredible views, quirky holes, it may be short but it can beat you up.

The course was in great condition and I can't wait to play it again.

Extremely difficult, lost all my balls! Very hilly, pretty wild, small fairways, no good for high handicappers like me

Interesting course. Difficult to navigate in places and thanks to the locals to help out with directions. Shared with lots of walkers and shared fairways made it busy. A couple of blind par threes were interesting to say the least. Greens were quite slow but fair. You need to be straight and lucky in a few places. Very challenging for a short course and playing it for the first time as a higher handicapper.

Staff member has not strict on tee times, therefore a ling wait on the 1st as 3 groups of 4 were tild to just carry on. Shared fairways is a nightmare as you are waiting for other players to move on around 6 holes. Had to skip holes 8 and 9 due to slow playing groups ahead. Lots of public walking across fairways had no consideration for golfers. Not ideal course for a busy weekend.

A good round, the rough is really rough, so lost a few balls.

Also had a dog get one of my balls and then the owner threw it again for the dog, effectively stealing my ball!!

Got paired with two gentlemen who were very friendly and I enjoyed playing with them. The people in front were very slow which made it difficult. But I love the course. Would recommend highly

Played course for the second time, both times on a Thursday evening so not that busy, course in good condition and quite a challenge. Grest value for the price. Will definitely be playing this course many more times.

Very interesting course. Up and down topography. Great views. Certainly a challenge created by the ground layout. Set up for fun rather than tournament play.

When the sun is out this course is absolutely stunning, today’s round was a joy. The greens and fairways have dried out and the course is in great condition.

Great course , stunning views.

Value for money is fantastic .

Clubhouse is comfy and friendly .

Nice simple bar food menu .. which was perfect . Hot and fresh .

Great course if a little quirky, greens very good considering weather we have had , overall well worth a visit , just be prepared for lots of walkers and dogs , staff were brilliant from guy in pro shop to lady in bar afterwards .

Will definitely be back to play again.
