Cleeve Hill GC

You feel as if you are stepping back in time playing a hill top links style course where man and nature have worked together to shape a challenging and at times exhilarating golfing experience. Lots of different challenges on almost every hole. Several blind shots where accuracy is rewarded. Most rough not too punitive whilst the small greens are well guarded but true and can be read with confidence. The 13th is a simply stunning hole - one of the best I have ever played whilst the long uphill par 3 16th is as tough as they get, well it was for me! Not everyone will like Cleeve Hill because it is not a manicured, antiseptic parkland course. There is plenty of gorse, plenty of rabbit scratchings, sheep dung and every green is protected by low electric cords but I guess (apart from the electricity) this is how most heathland courses appeared in 1927 when Cleeve Hill opened. So, if you want to feel invigorated, challenged, amused and wowed in equal measure whilst taking in some stunning views then you must play here at least once.

A society MUST

As they advertise, possibly the best picturesque course in England
The views on this course from most holes is breathtaking
The staff here are superb. Great service from the guys in the golf shop, clubhouse and course
The course itself is in great condition, the greens are exceptional. My complements to the ground staff.
The course itself is challenging to say the say the least. Especially today in the wind.
If you a member of a society, get them to book this course

Fantastic and Frustrating

To be fair the frustrating part of the title is just because I'm not very good at golf.

Scenery isn't going to get much better than on this course. It is stunning all the way around, I've played lots of local course with spectacular scenery and this is probably the best. The members I played with were top notch and I look forward to seeing them again.

The greens were really good except the one which had been previously vandalised which isn't the club fault. There is a lot of evaluation

Fairways and semi rough merge into each other and it isn't always easy to see where the hole goes. With lots of blind shots this is a course which probably should be played twice. When I played it was very windy which isn't uncommon on top of the highest peak of the Cotswolds. This is the closest I've played to links golf, trees are not common here and you rely on the undulations of the land and hope it doesn't throw your ball into deep grass or gorse.

I see why people liken this course to Painswick because of the quarrying activity which has scared the landscape, however it is no where near as tight and is much longer. You need to be smart of the tee here and the driver isn't always the best option as it can land you in trouble even though the courses appears very wide, there is advantages to playing the fairway. Most the rough is fairly short however clumps of it are very thick in areas which did mean we ended up look for balls for a long time in our fourball which I did find frustrating, especially as I lost a few.

This is a course I would recommend playing it will stay with me for a little while. I have good memories.

LOVE this course. The best in the area when others are waterlogged

This is great fun, amazing views and proper golf. Top 100 English course for £25...what's not to like. Although on top of a hill there is no arduous walking. But a few tricky rocky paths to navigate so not suitable for the 'infirm!'

No water hazards, nor out of bounds and relatively few bunkers, but you have wind to contend with and the occasional quarry to lose you ball in!

I travelled 45 mins from Redditch where courses get easily waterlogged - mine was closed today so my first thought was - the sun is out - I'm going to Cleeve Hill!'.

On top of Cleeve hill the fairways are firm and the greens incredibly good and run true.

Can't wait to go back in the summer, especially to tee it up on the summer tees (especially on 18th).

Just beware lots of families walking with little regard for the danger of a stray golf ball. Otherwise 10/10 experience.

(Round played: Feb 2022 - Score: 80 Handicap: 9.7)

Fantastic location and challenging holes. Green quite small and slow. Lots of slopes on fairways and blind tee shots. Rough quite thin and forgiving.

Wonderful experience - thank you to Dave and Hugh for their warm welcome.
What a course - I have never played so many holes where you're unsighted off the tee -a true inland links test - will be going back for sure. Fair course with very few uneven bounces.

Good Course

Played Cleeve Hill or should I say got blown off Cleeve Hill. Even though the conditions made the course very tough we still had a great time. Into the wind three whacks to the green was a result. Greens where ok and the pro, bar staff were really friendly.
