Great quirky course

Played in blustery conditions. Had one of my best rounds. Great course. Very wet but drained remarkably well. Lovely views, nice pro, shame restaurant/ bar shut but can't be helped.

Brilliant in the circumstances

Wet wet wet lead up to the round so course had suffered but managed the water well.

Due to the bad weather there were very few walkers which was a plus!!!!!

Quirky and fun

Fun course! Really interesting layout but play on the wrong day and the conditions are tough! Low cloud, rain, wet makes for a tough round. Great fun and great price though. Imagine in summer it’s great!

Great fun

Painswick is always good fun - the greens were very good. A sunny day, which meant great views. Lunch afterwards was fab.

Full sized crazy golf

Half way round this quirky course it dawned on me I was playing full size crazy golf and despite it being November the course was in lovely condition. Watch out for dog walkers and ramblers on your way round, they were all very pleasant just they can appear from out of nowhere because of the nature of the terrain.

Saturday morning golf

Very lucky with the weather, warm sunny November day. A very friendly welcome at the club shop and no pressure on the first team. Thankfully we were let through a four ball who were having a break from the racing at Cheltenham. After that very good pace of play. Lots of steep climbs, shared fairways, blind shots and members of the public enjoying the wonderful views. Course condition was reasonable for the time of year. Great catering in the clubhouse. Overall very quirky golf course that I felt very fortunate to be able to play on a Saturday morning prime time. The cost was fantastic which made paying for my two sons a big help.

Golf at Painswick

What a wonderful and difficult short course with plenty of hazards but the views from the top were spectacular. Due to the amount of rain of late all T’s were temporary which is unfortunate.. We did experience a lot of dog walkers and hikers and not all were considerate for us playing on the course and we even had marauding cattle running across us at one point. There was no cafe/bar facilities at the club house save for a coffee machine which was the only real negative. Will definitely back to play again.

Different

Very slow pace of play due to blind shots, fairways crossing, walkers wandering over the fairway, cyclists, horse riders etc.
Greens were slow and need attention, probably what was expected for the price paid but wouldn't return in a hurry, certainly not at the weekend with all the walkers about.

Stunning views and small greens

It’s quite the trek to get to the course but once there you have little idea what type of course awaits you.

The first few holes are all uphill and lead to the much celebrated and impressive par 3 6th hole, high and exposed this 220yd hole with little bail out area is a gem. The views are 360 degrees and take your breath away (not an exaggeration). Especially if you live in a city.

I was invited to play with a local member and we had a friendly and competitive match.

I would highly recommend this course for any one, even the big hitters who would be well advised to leave the driver in the car.

The only down points were the condition of the tees and greens. But I hear it’s only one green keeper.

A lovely day out and very enjoyable.

Will
