Cleeve Cloud Golf Club

Cleeve Cloud Golf Club sits on Cleeve Hill, the high common land above Cheltenham where the Cotswold escarpment meets the Severn Vale. The course was laid out by Old Tom Morris and remains open to the public rather than restricted to members, with visitors and societies accepted. From the hill the ground opens onto the Severn Estuary and the Welsh mountains beyond, terrain shaped by grazing rights that keep it common land rather than an enclosed private course. Cheltenham itself lies a short distance below, a Regency spa town built on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with Cleeve Hill marking roughly the highest ground in the range. Golf.com placed the course at 94th in its Top 100 ranking for the UK and Ireland, while Golf World ranked it 67th in its own Top 100 for Great Britain and Ireland and 3rd among courses charging under £35 in that same list. Green fees here run from £25 to £60 depending on the round. The postcode GL52 covers this northeastern edge of Cheltenham, bordering the Cotswold villages that climb toward Winchcombe and Bishop's Cleeve. Its combination of common land access and elevated position on the escarpment sets it apart from the enclosed parkland courses more typical of the Cheltenham area.
