Golf in Gloucestershire
From Cleeve Hill above Cheltenham to Minchinhampton, Stinchcombe and the southern Cotswold escarpment, Gloucestershire offers far more variety than a single parkland itinerary.
Cleeve Hill, Cotswold Hills, Lilley Brook and Brickhampton Court form the real local core.
Historic hill golf and documented architectural lineage give the county genuine character.
Resort, practice and accessible-golf options sit alongside stronger traditional courses.
Tewkesbury, Cheltenham and the wider Cotswolds make short golf-and-spa breaks easy to build.
Where to play
The strongest Gloucestershire itinerary depends on where you stay and the kind of golf you want. These are the real venues TGG now uses in its local recommendation layer.
Cleeve Hill Golf Club
Natural, exposed golf high on Cleeve Common with a widely documented Old Tom Morris lineage.
Cotswold Hills Golf Club
Strategic parkland on the escarpment with broad views and a well-established members-club identity.
Lilley Brook Golf Club
Set on the lower slopes of Leckhampton Hill and particularly practical for a Cheltenham-based weekend.
Brickhampton Court
A useful golf complex between Cheltenham and Gloucester with multiple playing options.
Tewkesbury Park
The Deerpark Course creates one of the county’s clearest integrated short-break options.
Minchinhampton Golf Club
A major local golf identity and an essential part of the southern Gloucestershire course set.
Stinchcombe Hill Golf Club
A historic hill course founded in the nineteenth century with later documented architectural work.
Cotswold Edge Golf Club
A visitor-friendly par-71 course with broad views from the escarpment.
Chipping Sodbury Golf Club
An established traditional club that gives the southern edge of the region more useful depth.
Build the stay around the golf
Cheltenham is the strongest all-round town base, while Tewkesbury and the southern Cotswolds work better when the property or spa is part of the reason for travelling.
Cheltenham
Best for Cleeve Hill, Cotswold Hills and Lilley Brook, with the broadest dining and hotel choice.
Tewkesbury Park
Best for a straightforward integrated stay where the course and hotel sit together.
South Cotswolds
Best for Minchinhampton, Stinchcombe and Cotswold Edge with country-house or spa-led stays around Stroud and Tetbury.
