Return to a favorite...quirky and sometimes frustrating but always an enjoyable challenge. In good winter condition but teeing off mats was a disappointment.

the most value for money

Here is a course with great variety and no bunkers, where every hole is different. It's better if your drives are straight and strong (180 yards). But a load of fun and heaps of laughs.

consistently brilliant experience

fairways, greens and tee boxes are all brilliantly maintained. We practically had the course to ourselves this late Monday morning. The rough had been cleared so it was possible to find those balls that bounce off the fairway.

quirky to the extreme

i've played Painswick twice in 2022, and i'd recommend it to anyone - don't assume that because the course is short it's easy, it's so easy to get into trouble. Main advice - don't think about pushing a trolley.

Perfect unspoilt day in the cotswold

Here is a course where you simply have to be accurate. No bunkers! Five of us set off at half ten and completed the course by half 2 including lunch break at the 9th tee. Four of us scored 90 or less so a very satisfying day all round.

It's hard to know what to write about Painswick. Perhaps expectations played a part here and I don't want to be too critical, but in all honestly I left the course wondering what on Earth the fuss was about. Having played Cleeve, and quite a few other courses you might label 'quirky', I had quite high expectations on a beautiful October Day, not too windy, and everything set up for a good round. I gave it a few holes to get going, but by the 11th or so, I realised that sometimes quirky just means 'a bit rubbish'. Then views are good, but pretty much everything else about the course isn't. The condition is easily forgivable given the land and restrictions in place. And my criticism isn't aimed at the club either. It is what it is. But what it is, is just a fairly poor golf course, with some admittedly 'interesting' holes and perspectives. For example, the 6th is definitely a great hole, and some aspects of the hole it shares a fairway with are nice to look at. But at very few points do these bits add up to anything recognisable as a decent golf hole. Of course, everyone makes their own mind up, but the fact that Painswick is being touted as a 'must-play' when there are so many other better options out there is something that perplexed me and my playing partner. Cleeve is quirky too. But under the surface there are some genuinely great holes at Cleeve, and you can imagine it being a really top class course if it wasn't based on common land. So, I don't blame Painswick at all. It's a course on a hill, with good views. But if you come for the golf, I think you are likely to be disappointed.

A must for any golfer

Painswick is an all round quirky course.

Considering it has no irrigation system the green were surprisingly well maintained given the 2022 dry weather.

This is a course which beats me up almost every time I play but I insist of making the trek every year.This is a fantastic course but to lose your focus because their is walkers, ramblers picnic goers and horse riders is to get beaten by the course as is going into a bunker on a standard course.

Althought this marmite course for golfers, this is golf in its rawest form. It is a delight to play and a highly recommend checking out the HairyGolfers course vlog on youtube to get an idea of the course layout before you play.

beautiful

A marvellous day on the hills; never mind about the golf! The fairways were well groomed anfd the greens were as fast as they come.tees were well cut and so long as we stayed on the fairway everything was fine. However, off to the left, right overshoot tended to be lost ball in some thick growth!

put on your crampons and take your ice ick

This is a rough course to walk around with a trolley. The paths are somewhat narrow and rocky and steep. If you stick to the fairways the grass is well groomed and the greens are marvellous A round to remember.

Parkland/inland links

A quirky little course with some very challenging holes. I was fortunate enough to play with someone who’d played the course before otherwise the multiple blind shots would have been a challenge, especially as a straight ball is not my norm at present.

Awesome little course

I love the course & when a hole goes wrong I hate it..

The staff are always helpful.

Greens were in excellent condition, the course is looking fantastic.

I do think everyone should play golf here at least once, I appreciate it is a marmite course. You'll love it or hate it.

I come here once or twice a year.

I don't think being public land is an issue if the people using the area were vaguely educated in golf.

A family picnic on a fairway probably isn't safe.

I did talk to them and they seemed unaware that it was a golf course, despite being situated between two holes on a shared fairway... The course isn't busy....



(Round played: Aug 2021 - Score: 85 Handicap: 13.9)
