despite the wet weather the course recovers fine
After a number of days of unrelenting rain, a fine day was forecast. Out we go and we found a perfect course with fairways running well and greens to match the best.Reviewer Rating

marvellous challenge
When we were there it was beautiful weather, we were practically the only golfers on the course but we were joined by walkers,cattle horse-riders, runners and many many hounds.Reviewer Rating

Return to a favorite...quirky and sometimes frustrating but always an enjoyable challenge. In good winter condition but teeing off mats was a disappointment.

the most value for money
Here is a course with great variety and no bunkers, where every hole is different. It's better if your drives are straight and strong (180 yards). But a load of fun and heaps of laughs.Reviewer Rating

consistently brilliant experience
fairways, greens and tee boxes are all brilliantly maintained. We practically had the course to ourselves this late Monday morning. The rough had been cleared so it was possible to find those balls that bounce off the fairway.Reviewer Rating

quirky to the extreme
i've played Painswick twice in 2022, and i'd recommend it to anyone - don't assume that because the course is short it's easy, it's so easy to get into trouble. Main advice - don't think about pushing a trolley.Reviewer Rating

Perfect unspoilt day in the cotswold
Here is a course where you simply have to be accurate. No bunkers! Five of us set off at half ten and completed the course by half 2 including lunch break at the 9th tee. Four of us scored 90 or less so a very satisfying day all round.Reviewer Rating

It's hard to know what to write about Painswick. Perhaps expectations played a part here and I don't want to be too critical, but in all honestly I left the course wondering what on Earth the fuss was about. Having played Cleeve, and quite a few other courses you might label 'quirky', I had quite high expectations on a beautiful October Day, not too windy, and everything set up for a good round. I gave it a few holes to get going, but by the 11th or so, I realised that sometimes quirky just means 'a bit rubbish'. Then views are good, but pretty much everything else about the course isn't. The condition is easily forgivable given the land and restrictions in place. And my criticism isn't aimed at the club either. It is what it is. But what it is, is just a fairly poor golf course, with some admittedly 'interesting' holes and perspectives. For example, the 6th is definitely a great hole, and some aspects of the hole it shares a fairway with are nice to look at. But at very few points do these bits add up to anything recognisable as a decent golf hole. Of course, everyone makes their own mind up, but the fact that Painswick is being touted as a 'must-play' when there are so many other better options out there is something that perplexed me and my playing partner. Cleeve is quirky too. But under the surface there are some genuinely great holes at Cleeve, and you can imagine it being a really top class course if it wasn't based on common land. So, I don't blame Painswick at all. It's a course on a hill, with good views. But if you come for the golf, I think you are likely to be disappointed.

A must for any golfer
Painswick is an all round quirky course.Considering it has no irrigation system the green were surprisingly well maintained given the 2022 dry weather.
This is a course which beats me up almost every time I play but I insist of making the trek every year.This is a fantastic course but to lose your focus because their is walkers, ramblers picnic goers and horse riders is to get beaten by the course as is going into a bunker on a standard course.
Althought this marmite course for golfers, this is golf in its rawest form. It is a delight to play and a highly recommend checking out the HairyGolfers course vlog on youtube to get an idea of the course layout before you play.

beautiful
A marvellous day on the hills; never mind about the golf! The fairways were well groomed anfd the greens were as fast as they come.tees were well cut and so long as we stayed on the fairway everything was fine. However, off to the left, right overshoot tended to be lost ball in some thick growth!Reviewer Rating

put on your crampons and take your ice ick
This is a rough course to walk around with a trolley. The paths are somewhat narrow and rocky and steep. If you stick to the fairways the grass is well groomed and the greens are marvellous A round to remember.Reviewer Rating
