Painswick, Gloucestershire (Pics and comments on all 18 holes)

Remembering golf at Painswick is a bit like remembering reading "The Hobbit" years ago.  The scale is just a bit askew and it seems somewhat like a dream set in the Cotswolds.

Great post, I'll have to add this one to the list of quirky courses I need to go play.

  Very good Bill!

Michael (or should I say Pup) and Charlie,

Thanks for the kind words and for bumping this thread. Anyone who find themselves in this part of the World really should give consideration to a quick 18 round Painswick Beacon!

Cheers,

James

Jason Topp & I are going to try to do just that on the morning before our B&B round.  The first tee is reserved for seniors from 8-9:30 on Thursdays, so I need to find out if we can start prior to 8AM.

Be sure to stay in the Falcon Inn, it's only five minutes in "downtown" Painswick, and maybe 400 years old.

Bump.

Just indulged myself with a stroll through James' photos ahead of taking my design colleagues from European Golf Design down to Painswick this coming Thursday. Both James and The Yank can be relied upon to selflessly put together a wonderful photo set for the rest of us to enjoy. Thanks James.

I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to the culture shock that Painswick will impart on my colleagues. I'm expecting profanities and sideways glances when I point them up the hill on the 1st!
