What the club says: Painswick Golf Club is parkland course at 5,000 yards with a par of 67, the course is very natural in an amazing setting atop the Painswick Beacon. There are several blind spots into and out of a 3000 year old hill fort. The course is steeped in History going back to 1891.

Reviewed Jun 26 2019 by - rated 2 out of 5 Tiring
Played here June '19 .As much as Cleeve Hill G.C. was a revelation the previous day this course was a bit of a letdown.
It's very short in length but a hard walk round due to it's undulations & steep stony paths from greens to tees .The 1st hole ,that almost feels like you are going 45 degrees uphill ,sets the tone .There are also quite a few shared fairways & it did feel a bit crammed in . Sure some holes are quirky & unique but it was the holes themselves that didn't do it for me either as well as the hard walk.
There are good views from the beacon at the course high point ( unfortunately it rained when we played) & it's a peaceful place to play .
The greens weren't at their best on the visit & some tee direction signs wouldn't go amiss as the routing was a bit confusing in places .
Good value at £12 on tee off times but maybe less so at £20 on the standard club rate for a p.m. weekday round for what you get .
I am all up for a unique ,quirky ,hilly course which is why i chose it but it didn't really do it for me & it's a course for me to tick off & not one i would look forward to playing again.

Reviewed Sep 20 2018 by Andy W - rated 4 out of 5 I loved it!
I can see this course being like marmite, you'll love it or hate it. I loved it!Quirky doesn't come close, it's an unbelievable mix of holes, yes it's short, yes there are several blind shots, but the undulations, quarries & fort are what makes the course.
Superb views all round, especially off the 6th.
I printed off the hole descriptions from the web & they definitely helped.
The members & the guys in the clubhouse were all really friendly.
The current let down is the greens, they died off in the summer so they've had to re-seed them all & some of the tee boxes need a mow. But they are minor quibbles from a fantastic experience.
Gary G's long summary of the course is absolutely bob on.

Reviewed Jul 24 2018 by Gary G - rated 4 out of 5 Awesome course
It is a lovely course but the hot summer has baked it badly. It is playing more like crazy golf than actual golf at the moment. The greens need watering with large areas of bare or patchy putting surface and the fairways are like concrete so even a good tee shot will end up in the rough...If you want to play golf here personally I would wait unti we have rain. That said the local competition was very kind in letting us go first.
It is a good value course if you book from teeofftimes, no one was there to meet us but you can get your score cards from inside the club house.

Reviewed Jun 11 2017 by Allun L - rated 3 out of 5 A bucket list course
A bit up and down if that's your bag. A couple of shared fairways and a number of quaries to negotiate and a hill fort. No a course to contempate in bad weather but a good experience and yardage wise it's not that long. But there are a couple of par three holes that I couldn't quite reach with my driver and it wan't really that windy. .

Reviewed Oct 20 2016 by Craig B - rated 2 out of 5 Found this a strange course, on the top of a mountain with lots of public rights of way and riddled with dog walkers popping up on pretty much every hole. Challenging with quarries surrounding the course and at least 3 completely unsighted holes. Wouldn't play again but it's worth playing for the experience.

Reviewed Sep 6 2016 by Claire P - rated 2 out of 5 There is nothing particularly wrong with the course, but there are just too many walkers. Also because the back 9 retraces your route on the first 9, you also bump into golfers coming the other way. My main criticism though is narrow fairways, and impossible rough - quite simply if you miss the fairway you've lost your ball. Very frustrating as it does have some fun holes.

I had a mare of a round today but striking some very random shots, however this is a course which bites you in the ass when things go wrong. It is very tight in places and its "natural" contours of the land make it a real challenge despite being a very short course on paper.
The course could do with some investment into bins and ball cleaners. That said the greens and fairways were in generally good condition with only the odd green looking a little patchy in the corners. That said it is a good value round with some beautiful landscape. I reviewed this course in more detail on the 12-August 2015.
