Minchinhampton — Old Course

Why play it

The historic common-land option

The Old Course is the most distinctive of Minchinhampton’s three courses because it sits directly on the common and retains a natural, open feel. Its appeal is less about championship infrastructure and more about heritage, landscape and the kind of ground-led golf that gives a Cotswolds trip real variety.

Who it suits

Heritage golfers

Choose the Old Course for historic common-land golf and a strong sense of place.

Walking-golf trips

Its open common setting gives the round a very different rhythm from Avening and Cherington.

Three-course stays

Use it as the contrasting third round after the two New Courses rather than treating all three as interchangeable.
