Cleeve Hill

Something has to be done about parking
Had to park on muddy slippery verge near main road
My car was damaged by someone struggling to get their car off the verge and they didn’t leave a note

Excellent view of the Cotswolds

Got there early and sampled the Bacon Rolls / Coffee very Nice ! Course played really well considering the awful weather we have been having, really nice fairways and the greens were good considering the time of year / weather, some of the best views of the Cotswolds I think you will find.overall well worth the Money and we will definitely be Returning.

Superb Track

Excellent condition considering the appalling weather we've had recently. A couple of wet patches in places, but overall very impressed. Great value for money at £35 and the views are something else. Will definitely be returning later in the year now I know my way around the course. Seriously underrated in my opinion.

Windy weather
Walked

Stunning

course is absolutely stunning,
links type course on top a hill with views miles around
we played on a beautiful but very windy day,
lots of very different spectacular holes.
lots of blind holes so definately your second of third round will be better
wind was a nice challenge but the wide fairways help
greens were in perfect condition
Pro shop reception warm and welcoming - thanks Giles
coffee excellent
a new favourite course.. I will be back

Excellent, fun course, in great condition.

Despite many courses locally being closed or under a foot of water - Cleeve Hill was our go-to again for a last minute round. Course was in great condition - greens a little soft but given the rain they held up well. Fairways in really good condition. If I lived a bit closer I’d join! Decent beer in the clubhouse after.

Very slow. Got stuck behind a society

I used to be a member here many years ago. The course conditions have improved greatly since then. It was unfortunate that we got stuck behind a big society resulting in a very long round. As always on a course on common land there were walkers everywhere which I do understand will happen but on top of the delays we experienced did get frustrating.

All in all a great day on a course I do love, but frustrating.

Brilliant quirky course

Course and in particular, the greens were in great condition. It clearly helps that the course is so high up, as the course was pretty much dry underfoot whereas most of the courses locally were underwater. Only issue is the parking, as it took about 20 minutes to find a parking space as you are fighting with walkers for car parking spaces. Also, 1-2 groups who started behind us decided to skip holes around the 7th-10th holes which created bottlenecks as the course was already fully booked and backed up. However, all in all I fully recommend a trip to Cleeve Hill GC and even better when it is a £21 Hot Deal.

Everywhere else was closed….

Booked this last minute as original nearby course was closed. This course is stunning and, considering how lousy the weather has been for days leading up to our round, the fairways were firm and the greens impressive. Gusts of 40mph added to the challenge of the hike, but worth it for the views and the naturally sculpted holes. Not a course for the ageing golfer, and be ever mindful of the ramblers also enjoying the scenery. Catering before and after was fine, but it has the sense of a struggling business. Hope it survives because we would come back

Great Course in the Winter

Played Cleeve Hill as all other courses were shut with it being December! Course drains really well because of its height. Could compress a ball on the fairway in December! Greens were immaculate. Up there the winds are strong so not for the faint hearted golfer on a blustery day. Nice cafe with a fire place as the clubhouse. Good pasty and pint of Guiness after.

An Assault course with a bit of golf!

I have been playing golf for 40 years and I can safely say this is the worst golf course I have ever played. Other than a couple of holes, the constant uphill climb was tiring and just a bit tedious after only a few holes. There are t any flat fairways to hit the ball from. Alwys an uphill or Dow hill lie. There were t any bins on the course or ball washers. The directions to the next home were dubious. The only redeeming feature were the breathtaking views. But, if I wanted to go on an S.A.S. Hike then I would’ve done so. One of our 4 ball was a 73 year old man who gave up after 9 cos he couldn’t handle the steep inclines on every single hole. There was no forewarning of this. We paid for the views and that was it. If you enjoy the game of golf then don’t play here.

Any real golfers with a modicum of adventure in their spirit should discount this review.

I can only imagine this has been written by a relatively unfit aged gentleman that is used to a flat parkland course.

Make no mistake, this golf course is a unique cracker of a track. But perhaps not for the stuffy and upright golfer that prefers the bland.

Great day of golf

On arrival had a vegan sausage bap and tea, which set us nicely for the day. Weather was good, I suspect on a windy day it would be quite tricky in this high setting. Good test of golf but not too tricky for my wife who is still in her first year of playing. A bit up and down, but not as much as it seems on first impressions. Would definitely play again.

Really enjoyable round

I played here for the first time at the start of August. I nearly turned round when I got into the car park as I thought I was in the wrong place! All I could see were walkers and sheep.

Once inside the pro shop. I found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. It was lucky the scorecard has a little map of the holes on the back as you do need it when playing as a one ball for the first time.

The first tee is a blind shot into the Hills so make sure you pay attention to the black and white markers. You'll need them all round the course!

Once you get your head around the blind shots and rolling hill fairways, you'll find the course to be a really interesting challenge and something totally different to your normal course if your used to playing off lush, flat fairways. The challenge will definitely help develop and improve your shot choices and overall game.

I've since been back to play here and will continue to do so whenever I'm in the area and have the time.

I'm glad I found this course and hope to play again soon

Top track

Excellent and unique layout , lots of open fairways and challenging approach shots, and possibly the best back to back par 3’s I have played. Well worth the fee and the food is great too.
