I once again took some guests to Painswick. The weather was glorious and the course fantastic. For authentic, challenging golf in a unique environment, Painswick is a gem. Thank you so much.

Possibly the wrong time oif year to play the coarse with being of winter tees.

With Joe public and the two cross over shared fairways may be a bit hairy in the summer months.

Enjoyed the course but unfortunately we played it on a Monday and the club house was closed.

Well worth a visit, challenging and querky. Lovely views at the top

On arrival the place looked closed which it was so no staff to speak to and to find out what's what on the course. The course condition was good considering time of year the lay out is tight and a lot of criss-crossing fairways but unique in its own little way, the biggest problem is the walker not giving a crap about you standing on the tee off ready to go and just start walking towards or across the fairways where you're trying to land your ball, which made me give up after 11 holes, wouldn't recommend due to walkers everywhere.

Idyllic views across to Wales and some very interesting holes makes this a good course to play. The course is shorter than most but you have to plan your shots. Some of the holes are picture postcard good as you play across an Iron Age fort.

Clubhouse warm and inviting with nice menu.

Played in thick fog so made the already hard course harder but it was in excellent condition, the greens are superb and was a great round as usual

Course was in terrible condition. Hole 3 didn’t even have a green to putt on as it was closed off so the club decided to stick a flag in the middle of the fairway? Me and my friend decided to skip that hole. Pedestrian right away is fairly normal on any course where the general public can walk onto it which is fine but, we weren’t told the whole of the uk we’re going to be walking around the course onto the fairway not moving whatsoever. I think on average we were waiting 10 minutes on each hole for it to be clear. When you get past hole 4 your then sharing the fairways which would be fine if the other golfers playing the course actually had any golf etiquette very disappointing as I nearly got hit multiple times without hearing a shout from anyone. We only played 8 holes due to how terrible this course is. As we were heading back to the club house we had multiple golfers actually swear at us and saying we were ‘rubbish’ and couldn’t play there course lol which made me giggle considering me and friend play at a top level club unlike the players at painswick. Maybe it was an off day for painswick but, from reading other comments I don’t think it was unfortunately. This course should be free to play and if you want to make a donation you can. Extremely disappointed. The only positive is how nice the bloke was in the clubhouse

Painswick is one of those little gems you need to have in your list. Although it is a relatively short cse it will test your game. Some of the holes even in the winter are great photo opportunities. The par 3/4 holes are challenging and you need to think about what club and shot to play. I will definitely be heading back in early May as recommended by the Club captain who kindly assisted me through the back nine with some sage advice.

Played on a brisk and chilly December day, with the odd shower and plenty of blustery wind, which made the course even more fun yet challenging.

To be treading over the historic geography of a bronze age fort and paying golf on it is quite an experience. Very hilly and some challenging access paths between holes, so it's a tiring yet rewarding round. The abundance of par three holes may give the impression of an easy course. It certainly isn't as undulations, unsighted tee shots and tricky greens make for a really testing round. But fun and achievable as our four ball of average golfers proved.

The clubhouse was very friendly and seems pleased to have visitors, as was the pro shop. Would definitely recommend and great value for the 18 holes.

As others have posted, its just too slow to enjoy. Clearly course management is poor as tee times slip and appears over booked at times, meaning we had 5 groups playing holes 4 and 5 - long delays to every shot and members not concerned about their pace of play and hanging about on tees chatting.

Great course though, some really nice holes , great layout and greens in great condition - manage the tee time better and it would be well worth playing again. Some tough holes, not long but needs accuracy

Very challenging and very good fun. Lots of blind drives and challenging tee positions but wonderful interesting holes built amongst the iron age hill fort.

Greens are mature, fast and consistent. Plays short but requires straight driving.

Will come back soon. Vety reasonable green fees.

Staff could not have been more welcoming.

Club house facilities and food first rate.

A course once played, never forgotten.
