My absolute favourite by a long chalk

This course has well groomed fairways, fast greens and wonderful views. It's an honour to share the beautiful landscape with walkers and riders. The golf is exciting and revealing yet by the 18th, I've had enough for the day.

A truly hidden gem. On arrival, the place didn’t look anything special and as we found out, the course conditions were a little rough around the edges but those are the only real flaws.
A really fantastic, links style course, played way up on a hill top with the best views of any course locally by some distance.
Some really quirky holes which get you talking. Course knowledge isn’t essential but definitely helps as there are a lot of blind shots but markers are well positioned.
The course was riddled with sheep poo but that’s ok as there were none on the greens.
The head pro who welcomed us was absolutely fantastic. Greeted us with a smile and even followed us to the first tee to give us a bit of course information.
Overall, a really really fun course to play. If I lived a little closer, I’d be a regular visitor.
(Round played July 21, score 81, handicap 12.8)

Remarkable & Memorable Course

Played here June '19 .

Every once in a while i discover a course that is a revelation & this is one of them .

It's on top of a hill on the highest point in Gloucestershire .Hence you get a combination of incredible far reaching panoramic views ( the best views that i have seen on an inland course) & a course that has endless excellent holes .
A very natural & undulating course & there is a feeling of tranquility ,remoteness & getting away from everything up here.
The holes are very well designed to fit in with the natural contours & the course covers a vast area to the extent that on the farthest part of the course at the 13th green it seems as if you are miles from the clubhouse .
Great collection of par 3's & just when the course starts to feel a little long winded you come across a superb stretch of holes (13 to 16 ) as you turn & head back towards the clubhouse .13 is a par 5 which inclines & then drops down sharply to a green surrounded by mounds as you come over a ridge which reveals even more views ,14 is a brilliant par 4 where you hit up to a marker post then go up & over 2 ridges ,15 a great par 3 across a chasm & 16 another excellent long par three through a funnel of mounds.It feels very evocative on this far section of the course.

Course condition was good in is kept to be natural with the greens being very nice to putt on & the course as far as i can remember is bunkerless.

It feels slightly underwhelming when you arrive ,as is the clubhouse .Yes it's a long & undulating in places walk round but for anyone who hasn't played here before if you pick a sunny day it is absolutely worth it.
An absolute bargain at £12 after 2 p.m.

Fantastic Course

After securing a hot deal for £10, We visited Cleeve Hill without lofty expectations. The pro greeted us warmly and gave us some tips and background to the course. This happened to be the 80th different course I have visited and instantly goes into my top 10.
Admittedly there are a lot of blind shots and the route isn't always the clearest, but wow what a course.
I played with a long hitting golfing partner, so we both experienced the course from different perspectives, we both agreed it was a real challenge.
After 3 days of heavy rain, the course was in great shape. Greens were surprisingly quick and it took us a few holes to adjust. The views are some of the best I have ever experienced, situated right on the edge of the Cotswolds and overlooking Cheltenham and it's racecourse. I plan to make the trip back up Cleeve Hill soon and we have added it to next years Society league's list of venues.

Played the course with my son and we loved every minute of the round. Cleeve Hill gives you a golf experience in its purest form with sheep all over the course and fairways that lean right and left to blend the landscape.

I would come back and play this course week after week and never get bored as the wind changes the dynamic of every hole dependant on which way it blows. One hole you are hitting your Sunday best 180 yards into the wind, the next hitting 350 with the wind from an elevated tee....breathtaking.

Greens amazing, views amazing course amazing! Golf on the day doesn't deserve a review!

The name of the club says it all. Wow some of those holes were brutal. However very enjoyable. The views from some of the holes were quite breathtaking. If you are looking for a good challenging day out then give this a chance. Not to easy to find if a visitor, but worth the effort. We had a great meal after our round, although a small clubhouse it was very clean and well looked after.

Gorgeous Views

If your legs are up for the challenge, and this course isn't easy walking, then you'll be rewarded with a lovely course and some outstanding views.

The greens, tees and fairways are good rather than outstanding, but some of the holes are really pretty. The holes I loved were all downhill, 9, 10, 17 & 18, but the views as you work your way down to the 13th are stunning.

The fairways are all pretty wide and the greens aren't the trickiest you'll play, so the main protection is when the wind blows. There's little to protect you from it.

The clubhouse certainly has seen better days, but there was a warm welcome there and in the pro shop.

I would absolutely recommend Cleeve Hill.

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.

perfect conditions despite wet weather

we played in the afternoon to take advantge of twilight rates. information about availability of food at cafe and restaurant was absolutely abysmal and how the cafe could be closed on a school holiday Monday beats me! Despite info to the contrary, the kitchen was serving up bacon and sausage baps at lunchtime so we could have enjoyed a bap before venturing out onto the course. Which was magnificient when all around were carry only or even closed. Great tees, fairways and greens.
