Brickhampton Court Golf Complex
A two-course Gloucestershire complex near Churchdown that works especially well for mixed-ability groups, societies and visitors who want flexible golf close to Cheltenham and Gloucester.

Two different ways to play the day
Brickhampton Court’s value comes from choice. The longer course gives stronger players a more substantial parkland test, while the shorter option makes the same venue useful for mixed abilities, newer golfers and a second round that does not need to feel like another full championship examination.
The complex is also easier to use than many single-course clubs because practice, golf and social time can all happen in one place. That makes it especially effective for societies and groups where not every golfer wants the same level of difficulty.
Geographically, Brickhampton is well placed between Gloucester and Cheltenham, so it can support a wider local itinerary rather than forcing the group to build the whole trip around one course.
Key planning notes
- Use the longer course when the group wants the stronger test, and the shorter option for mixed abilities or a second round.
- The practice facilities make Brickhampton useful for warm-up, coaching-led days and golfers rebuilding confidence.
- The venue is strongest on value, flexibility and welcome rather than prestige.
- Pair it with Cotswold Hills for a tougher championship-style contrast.
- Add Lilley Brook or Cleeve Hill for a more distinctly Cheltenham-area itinerary.
One of the easiest Gloucestershire venues to use
Brickhampton is a good recommendation when the trip needs to work for the whole group rather than simply chase the highest-ranked course. It is especially strong for societies, mixed handicaps and golf weekends where practice time or a more relaxed second round has real value.
Best for
Societies, mixed-ability groups, value-conscious visitors and golfers who want practice facilities alongside the round.
Pair it with
Cotswold Hills for a stronger parkland test, Lilley Brook for traditional Cheltenham club golf, or Cleeve Hill for exposed historic golf.
Use Cheltenham as the wider base
Brickhampton works best as part of a broader Cheltenham or Gloucestershire stay. The course itself does not need to carry the accommodation proposition; its role is to give the trip flexible, accessible golf while the town and country-house hotel market handle the evenings and recovery.
