Cleve Hill is laid out in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the Cotswolds. That's not an opinion. It's an official title. Perched at over 1,000 feet, it's the highest point in the county, which makes it a popular spot for hikers, bikers, and sheep. If you'd like to golf on it, and I suggest you do, you'll need to share it. The course here is largely untouched by modern architects and closely resembles ancient Scottish links. In fact, Old Tom Morris himself laid out the expansive routing in 1891 before Alister Mackenzie lent a hand two decades later. It's easy to see what attracted good Tom to the site. The limestone foundation drains the course naturally, and a persistent wind prompts golfers to scan the horizon for sea. But we are far inland. The par 5 13th offers the blockbuster moment. A drive uphill takes you past the iconic tree that gives Cleave Hill its logo. The second shot sends you blindly over the spine of the course. On the other side, a flag framed by a spectacular view of Cheltenham sits on a green defended by deep ditches and mounds, a tribute to the iron age fort The Green is built on. The nineteenth hole isn't the most traditional. Half the clientele are knocking back a coffee and a bacon sandwich on the picnic benches before their hike, worst the rest pay their green fee for a quick 18. Cleave is a stark reminder that most of golf's fences and barriers are erected by choice. Here you can play in a five ball, drive in almost any direction, and have a friendly chat with the staff afterwards.
