Information and photos of the Painswick Golf Club course
were sent to PastureGolf.com by Paul Turner.

Note the names of some of the holes on this course: Attack,
Battlefield, Outlook, Breach, Castle, Ramparts, Barbican, Traitors Gate,
Gallows, and Graveyard.
According to Paul, "GolfClubAtlas
has a discussion about the course, but I'll add a quick explanation about
the photos...it's common land course without bunkers and irrigation. Because
it is on common land, people other than golfers get to walk the course
(but it's not a problem). The course is actually closed on Sundays I assume
because there are too many people out for a Sunday stroll."
| "Attack" is the name of the 1st hole, 224
yard par 4, at Painswick. Here you see the Pit you will find there. |
 |
| The 2nd "Battlefield" hole also sports a Pit. |
 |
| Obvious why the 3rd hole is called "Outlook." |
 |
| The 4th green at Painswick lies in a semi-circle of
trees. |
 |
| According to Paul Turner who knows this course, "Those
huge rolls in the terrain around the Beacon are from ancient quarry
works for the famous Cotswold stone used to build the local homes.
And some of these pits are used for great effect. Also around the
Beacon is an Iron-Age Fort! The 5th tee shot plays over this Fort
rampart to the bowl green." |

 |
| The approach at the 469 yard 9th hole, called the Ramparts. |
 |
| Approach to the 9th. |
 |
| Ninth green. |
 |
| Your tee shot on the Tenth hole has to carry over the
dune. |

 |
| Close up of Pit at the Eleventh hole. Paul notes that
this is "a typical recovery shot." |
 |
| Eleventh green. |
 |
| Fourteenth tee. This hole is called the "Gallows"
possibly because that is where you get hung up in the trees. |
 |
| Painswick's 16th hole is "Southgate," a 299
yard par 4. |
