Why play here?

A practical Cheltenham round with real character

Lilley Brook sits on the south-east edge of Cheltenham and offers a traditional members-club experience with mature trees shaping every hole. The lower holes move across undulating parkland before the final six climb toward the Cotswold edge, opening views back over Cheltenham and toward the Malvern Hills. The club also has documented links to Alister MacKenzie.

Choose Lilley Brook if: you want a genuine Cheltenham golf club close to hotels and restaurants, with enough elevation and strategic interest to feel distinct from a flat town parkland.

Parkland golfers

Mature trees, elevation and strategic bunkering provide a very different experience from exposed Cleeve Hill.

Cleeve Hill
