Painswick Golf Club

Great veiws, a stiff walk, every hole a challenge….don’t be fooled by its short length you’ll have an opportunity to use every club in the bag……..just be aware of many walkers

Genuinely one of the worst experiences I have ever had playing golf. I have played link courses before but this one was exceptionally busy with the public. Almost every single hole I was held up by dog walkers and families walking across the course preventing me from taking my tee shot. The winter mats are poor not being flat and having poor capability to place a tee down. The fairways were lacking grass and pretty much mud with holes throughout the ground, where there wasn’t mud there are fairways that have more thistle and stones than grass. I would guess this has little to no maintenance from playing here and it feels like someone has made a green and tee box and not worried about what’s in between. Prior to booking I thought £16 was a bargain but I wouldn’t play here again for free. Ended up stuck behind a group of four who didn’t allow playing through so left before we even finished the course, though I understand this was not the venues fault From the other golfers.

A good day for a round of golf and Painswick made the ideal setting

Played in blustery conditions. Had one of my best rounds. Great course. Very wet but drained remarkably well. Lovely views, nice pro, shame restaurant/ bar shut but can't be helped.

Odd course, full of public walkers not ideal! Very slow pace of play, holes can be difficult to navigate but some good challenges

Painswick is always good fun - the greens were very good. A sunny day, which meant great views. Lunch afterwards was fab.

Half way round this quirky course it dawned on me I was playing full size crazy golf and despite it being November the course was in lovely condition. Watch out for dog walkers and ramblers on your way round, they were all very pleasant just they can appear from out of nowhere because of the nature of the terrain.

Very lucky with the weather, warm sunny November day. A very friendly welcome at the club shop and no pressure on the first team. Thankfully we were let through a four ball who were having a break from the racing at Cheltenham. After that very good pace of play. Lots of steep climbs, shared fairways, blind shots and members of the public enjoying the wonderful views. Course condition was reasonable for the time of year. Great catering in the clubhouse. Overall very quirky golf course that I felt very fortunate to be able to play on a Saturday morning prime time. The cost was fantastic which made paying for my two sons a big help.

Had a ggreat day. Respite from recent rains, nice and sunny. Marmite course - love it or hate it due to very busy with walkers,hordes, dog walkers, drone and film crew and some cows! I love it, Short course suits me. Greens great condition and not soggy at all after recent rains. Had a great first 9 despite above, Thanks to all at Painswick. Phil

What a wonderful and difficult short course with plenty of hazards but the views from the top were spectacular. Due to the amount of rain of late all T’s were temporary which is unfortunate.. We did experience a lot of dog walkers and hikers and not all were considerate for us playing on the course and we even had marauding cattle running across us at one point. There was no cafe/bar facilities at the club house save for a coffee machine which was the only real negative. Will definitely back to play again.

Very slow pace of play due to blind shots, fairways crossing, walkers wandering over the fairway, cyclists, horse riders etc.

Greens were slow and need attention, probably what was expected for the price paid but wouldn't return in a hurry, certainly not at the weekend with all the walkers about.

Fantastic course- don’t let the yardage put you off!

Great views with challenging holes - don’t miss the full English breakfast!

It’s quite the trek to get to the course but once there you have little idea what type of course awaits you.

The first few holes are all uphill and lead to the much celebrated and impressive par 3 6th hole, high and exposed this 220yd hole with little bail out area is a gem. The views are 360 degrees and take your breath away (not an exaggeration). Especially if you live in a city.

I was invited to play with a local member and we had a friendly and competitive match.

I would highly recommend this course for any one, even the big hitters who would be well advised to leave the driver in the car.

The only down points were the condition of the tees and greens. But I hear it’s only one green keeper.

A lovely day out and very enjoyable.

For the money, it's unbelievable value.

Course is in great condition, might be a bit easier next time when I know where to go.
