God awful greens

Common land so you expect some delay due to walkers. However. Greens were just awful, some fast some slow. A level of consistency would be nice!!!!!

Lovely interesting course requiring accuracy

Painswick is supposedly the easiest Course in England, but it my no means easy at all as it is tight and requires accuracy off the tee at all times. It is not a course you can simply drive. It's also not a long course, but when you walk it, it feels long enough. That said the views of the Cotswolds and over cheltenham are outstanding. If you've never played a common land hilly course, then this one is as quirky as they come. Worth a trip just to try it.

A quirky course

This is a quirky course, imagine a links course on top of a hill that looks as though it has been mined. Definitely a challenge and a course kind would help given the number of blind tee shots (above 6 depending on how long you drive). Even so it was definitely a fair test of a game.

The greens and teeing areas were in desperate need of water. The greens in particular were a bit random at time.

Fun course, something different

Really fun course, and quite unique in these parts.Felt like playing a links course. Its short but its definitely not boring, and a certain level of forgiveness, although general conditions had the fairways playing very quick. Greens were ok, not amazing and a little variable - but didnt make us enjoy the round any less

A gem

A gem of a course. Don’t let the par 67 or reviews which says it’s easy it’s not. It makes you think and is a beautiful course which you’ll need all the clubs in your bag to complete. The staff are very welcoming as are the members and we had a great chat in the bar with members who didn’t treat us as outsiders or intruders. Value for money and sheer enjoyment it’s worth the journey and the punt of playing a new course.

Possibly the wrong time oif year to play the coarse with being of winter tees.
With Joe public and the two cross over shared fairways may be a bit hairy in the summer months.
Enjoyed the course but unfortunately we played it on a Monday and the club house was closed.
