Lilley Brook Golf Club Review

A traditional Cheltenham parkland club on the lower slopes of Leckhampton Hill, combining mature trees, elevation and convenient town-based access.

The character

Lilley Brook offers the sort of mature, strategic parkland round that complements a Cheltenham stay well. It feels local rather than resort-led, with trees, slope and position shaping the day.

The final stretch toward the Cotswold edge adds elevation and views, giving the course more variety than a flat urban parkland layout.

Who should play it?

Cheltenham visitors

One of the easiest traditional club rounds to combine with a town-centre stay.

Parkland golfers

Mature trees and elevation provide a strategic contrast to Cleeve Hill.

Mixed-ability groups

A practical club option for societies and broader group trips.

Our verdict

Lilley Brook is a strong local-club choice: convenient, characterful and different enough from Cleeve Hill and Cotswold Hills to justify its place in a multi-round Cheltenham itinerary.
