Golf in Gloucestershire/Bristol

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Was a member of Filton mid 80s to mid 90s and it’s a v friendly members club. Visited for some lunch last year as was in Bristol with time to kill and was made very welcome. The course is decent and has matured nicely since I was a member. It’s not got any brilliant or spectacular looking holes, but as a test of golf it’s fine and fair, and no walkover for the handicap golfer.

Thanks again for all the great input. Enough to cover two tours to the area. However, I thought I'd let you all know which courses worked out and are now booked: Minchinhampton Old for the Friday. Cleeve Hill for the Saturday, and finally Stinchcombe Hill for the Sunday. Coming from one of the flattest countries on earth (NL), it will be a thrill to play three hilltop courses. I will report back here once the tour is done.

Good choices, some of the most interesting courses in the area. Enjoy!

Hope the sun shines... you'll have fun on those courses.

Additional thought, there's a smashing old pub right next to Minchinhampton Old's Clubhouse. Great for lunch, super example of old school Cotswold Pub.

Nice little tour

Shame you're not getting to Lilley Brook - maybe next time.

To be honest, our least talented golfer (hcp36+) would not have gotten round Lilley Brook in style. I hope to play there in future!

If you don't get round Minch Old, it'll be because you've got lost, which is easy to do there.

The person in question is prone to getting lost, so we have that to look forward to also
