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....

Peter

One of the finest and most interesting courses in England. This course offers breathtaking views and a captivating variety of holes, some with blind shots, some with elevated or lowered pins, some with sunken and tilted greens, and one of the best par 3s in the country, the 5th hole. It’s short but demands that you hit it straight, so don’t think it’s a pushover. A joy to play and the clubhouse is very welcoming.

Great fun- you must play

What a great experience it is to play Painswick. It’s short, 7 par 3’s, rocky paths and people wandering all over the course, but......
It’s such fun. Lots of really interesting holes with the requirement to shape shots and think your way round the course. I was fortunate to play it with someone who knew their way round, without that I can see why you might get frustrated as Finding your way round might be a challenge. Loved the elevated tees, the blind Par 3’s played over all sorts of ancient earthworks, the amazing views from the tees and greens near the beacon.
The only downside to the round was that the 3rd hole was out of play because some total scumbag has vandalised the green with what looks like a motorbike. It just baffles me why someone would go to all that trouble to destroy something?
If you are looking for golf with a clear line of sight to landing areas and all hazards visible, and a traditional par 72, then this course probably isn’t for you.
But, If you want a round where the golf is different from anything you will play normally, and each tee brings a new smile to your face, then don’t miss Painswick..
The clubhouse is nice as well, with welcoming and helpful staff.
Well done Painswick - Loved you!,

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.

Wow what views!

A tough course it has to be said, tests accuracy very sternly.
A tough walk but well worth it, a great place to play a wonderful round.

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.

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.

Fantastic but strange

Very unique course. See my other review for its pros and cons. If you're having a bad day at least the view is amazing.
