Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Cotswold Hills Golf Club for a mid-handicapper, and what kind of shots will I need?

Cotswold Hills offers a fair but engaging test, especially if the wind picks up across the exposed sections. You'll definitely need to be precise with your iron play to navigate the tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers, but it's not overly punishing for a decent strike. Expect some elevation changes that add to the challenge and the views.

When is the best time of year to play Cotswold Hills, considering both course conditions and the typical English weather?

We highly recommend visiting between late April and early October. The course drains exceptionally well, so you'll find it firm and fast during the drier summer months, which is when the views are truly spectacular. Aim for a weekday morning to enjoy a more relaxed pace and soak in the scenery without feeling rushed.

What's the standout feature or 'must-see' hole at Cotswold Hills that makes it unique from other courses in the region?

The views from the higher points of the course are truly what set Cotswold Hills apart; you'll get stunning panoramas across the Severn Valley and beyond. Keep an eye out for the 18th hole-a challenging finishing par-4 that demands a precise approach shot over a valley to a well-guarded green, making for a memorable end to your round.

What's the atmosphere like at the Cotswold Hills clubhouse, and is it worth staying for a meal or a drink after the round?

The clubhouse at Cotswold Hills is welcoming and unpretentious, with a lovely, relaxed vibe perfect for unwinding. We absolutely recommend staying for a drink or a bite; the food is hearty and satisfying, and you can enjoy fantastic views from the patio overlooking the course. It’s a proper golfer’s clubhouse.

How does the green fee at Cotswold Hills compare to other quality courses in the Cotswolds, and what's the best way to secure a tee time?

Cotswold Hills offers excellent value for the quality of golf and the stunning location, often feeling more accessible than some of its more exclusive neighbours. Your best bet for securing a tee time, especially for weekend play, is to book directly through their website a few weeks in advance. They are quite popular, and for good reason.
