What the club says: Cleeve Hill is a magnificent heath land course located in an area of outstanding natural beauty. From a commanding position in the Cotswolds, breathtaking views are available over an area taking in the Forest of Dean, Severn Vale, the Malverns - and beyond to the Black Mountains and the Brecons.
Set in 1,000 acres of Cleeve Common, the truly awesome vistas from the course embrace 10,000 years of human occupation - with prehistoric and Roman settlements punctuating a landscape rich in wild flowers. Rare orchids, the Roman snail and various species of butterfly bring added fascination to the scene. For golfers about their business, the setting is idyllic, inspiring and refreshing.

As nature intended golf to be....
First time for me at Cleeve Hill. I couldn't believe that it faced closure just a few years ago. Old Tom's layout stands the test of time in all weathers- yes, we had all four seasons during our round. Wonderful elevated tees and few bushes and trees offer the novel experience, for me, of being able to find your ball fairly easily. We finished in glorious sunshine elated but exhausted!Reviewer Rating

Can't beat this course
This course has wonderful views around Gloucestershire from all the tees. The course is in marvellously good nick. Plus, the variety of challenges presented to us over the course are amazing. No two holes are the same!Reviewer Rating

Must have golfing experience
This is old school golf played at an improving venue with far sighted management and ownership. From the depths of possible closure to a reinvigorated set up. I had never heard of the venue until the campaign to save it and I have them made it a priority to experience the courses in all its glories. Painted stone tee markers plus yardage markers Jean from granite this is not manicured golf. Usually the common is mown and managed by the sheep that free roam with greens protected by small fences. This is an astonishing venue with views over 5 counties in a clear day. Green complexes have been created from medieval castle grounds and history oozes over shot. There are a couple of blind shots but they are well sign posted. Greens are true and fair with protections built into them by the courses designers. I loved the Cleeve experience and cannot wait to return to test myself again. There are loads of local pubs and hotels nearby making a two day trip easily achievable. 100% recommend a return visit. If you are interested in golf course architecture this is a must play venue. I LOVED ITReviewer Rating

Exposed to the wind. Some excellent holes. 2 tough par 3s on the back 9, one after the other. Well worth a visit.

Gorgeous Views
If your legs are up for the challenge, and this course isn't easy walking, then you'll be rewarded with a lovely course and some outstanding views.The greens, tees and fairways are good rather than outstanding, but some of the holes are really pretty. The holes I loved were all downhill, 9, 10, 17 & 18, but the views as you work your way down to the 13th are stunning.
The fairways are all pretty wide and the greens aren't the trickiest you'll play, so the main protection is when the wind blows. There's little to protect you from it.
The clubhouse certainly has seen better days, but there was a warm welcome there and in the pro shop.
I would absolutely recommend Cleeve Hill.

Cleeve Hill GC
You feel as if you are stepping back in time playing a hill top links style course where man and nature have worked together to shape a challenging and at times exhilarating golfing experience. Lots of different challenges on almost every hole. Several blind shots where accuracy is rewarded. Most rough not too punitive whilst the small greens are well guarded but true and can be read with confidence. The 13th is a simply stunning hole - one of the best I have ever played whilst the long uphill par 3 16th is as tough as they get, well it was for me! Not everyone will like Cleeve Hill because it is not a manicured, antiseptic parkland course. There is plenty of gorse, plenty of rabbit scratchings, sheep dung and every green is protected by low electric cords but I guess (apart from the electricity) this is how most heathland courses appeared in 1927 when Cleeve Hill opened. So, if you want to feel invigorated, challenged, amused and wowed in equal measure whilst taking in some stunning views then you must play here at least once.Reviewer Rating

perfect conditions despite wet weather
we played in the afternoon to take advantge of twilight rates. information about availability of food at cafe and restaurant was absolutely abysmal and how the cafe could be closed on a school holiday Monday beats me! Despite info to the contrary, the kitchen was serving up bacon and sausage baps at lunchtime so we could have enjoyed a bap before venturing out onto the course. Which was magnificient when all around were carry only or even closed. Great tees, fairways and greens.Reviewer Rating

a great day out
Setting off just after one to tackle all 18 holes taking advantage of the twilight rate. The fairways are grand, the greens remarkable and the views terrific. We were all back by quarter to six as night fell! and found the clubhouse and toilets all shut. A great experience from the off. Before we left we visited the Cotswold Hill Cafe which is now part of the Golf complex; a touch pricey but welcome nevertheless as the canteen is closed at the club. Pizzas are on the menu so fab.Reviewer Rating

What a mad, weird amazing course this is!! Plays like an inland links, greens looked awful but ran pretty true. Very difficult to hold the greens with approach shots - maybe go for bump n runs!! The views go on for miles, truly beautiful. It’s a tough walk, and very hilly. Definitely one to tick off the list.
