Cleeve Hill is a unique golf course with a rich history that should be saved to enable golf and other pursuits to coexist as they do now.

Since I retired and have been able to play golf regularly, I have made a point of playing at Cleeve Hill whenever I can for the challenge of the course and for the wide-ranging views. I would urge anyone in power to re-consider the decision to end the lease and allow this historical facility to continue to exist.

The History and the beauty of the course, it is an out of town course and is the perfect setting for the golf course.

Save the golf courses.... especially the classics...

I am signing because I routed last year's edition of our group of ten players' annual golf tour which took us onto 19 courses within 10 days over Cleeve Hill and fully agree with the statement of the course's uniqueness. Cleeve Hill epitomizes the "golf course culture" which has drawn us annually to go play in the UK for more then a decade now. I hope that there will be another chance to play at Cleevehill in the future.

Golf at Cleeve Cloud ought to continue - it’s a travesty to take these amenities away - a solution must be found.

Cleeve hill golf club enables golfers of all levels to access the sport without having to join expensive (and often exclusive) clubs. The quirkinesses of the course is is a legendary challenge and course maintenance helps ensures that people other than the wardens keep an eye on the condition of the hill too. The traditional and attractive club house is the only place of refreshment and shelter for other visitors.

The course is an absolute gem; so different from others around. Drains well, fabulous views, and the combined usage of the common alongside ramblers is a model which others should follow.

I’m signing because Cleeve Hill is one of the best local courses to me especially in Winter when other courses are closed due to becoming too muddy. Designed by Old Tom Morris, it is a great layout and offers spectacular 360d views. Would be criminal for it to close.

Mike Clarke (Droitwich , 2020-11-05)

Cleeve Hill was one of the first golf courses I ever played. It is set in an ideallic location, with spectacular views plus the joy of having the local sheep adding to the unique challenge. I have many fond memories of playing at CleeveHill, it simply got me started playing golf.

Closing Cleeve Hill golf course would be a real loss for the Cheltenham area.

Ben Bramley (Cheltenham, 2020-11-06)

#2678

This is a piece of golfing history and is of considerable significance. If it were a building it would have preservation order on it. It is vitally important to preserve facilities like this for the benefit of local golfers and beyond.

The golf course changed my life for the better. The first and last course I played during my 2 years in the UK, Cleeve Hill has forever etched in my mind the imagery and beauty that is the Cotswolds. The thought of closing this property to golfers, new and old, saddens me deeply.

Tyler Knobeck (Warminster, 2020-11-12)

As a teenager, I learned to play golf at Cleve Hill in 1960. I visited the course again in 2008 but the course management had changed but I did get to walk the commons. My father was a club champion in the early 1960s. He won both the Lister and the Turnbull cups.

Jeffrey Ford (Annapolis, 2020-11-15)

#2692

My Dad used to play on this course 60 years ago and I have wonderful memories of it.

Julie Ford (Los Angeles, 2020-11-15)

#2693

I play Cleve Hill regularly even though I am not a member It is a great course of tremendous character and variety - it is in close proximity of Cheltenham and Gloucester so has a large catchment population. I am sure that it can be a profitable course and is a great local amenity.

PLEASE KEEP THE COURSE OPEN

Even if the current club house is sold, the course can still be viable

Best regards

I lived in Cheltenham for 4 years (‘15-‘19). Played countless times up on the hill. It’s world class. One of a kind. British golf will be worse without this course around. Save it, please!!!

Jon Calder (Portland , 2020-11-15)

#2695

I'm signing because not only will it be a shame to remove all of the history of this club but I have not long found out that this club is part of my family history. Liam Whelan has his own tournament named after him and he is my grandfather. He passed away long before I was born but it would mean so much to be able to connect with him via a mutual passion. Thanks,

Jacob Townsend (Cheltenhm, 2020-11-17)

It’s a good course and enjoyable way for people to enjoy what Cheltenham has to offer.

I played often on Cleeve Hill when learning golf as a teenager. Four decades later, after playing many other sports, I've picked up golf again and sampled some of Britain's world famous links courses. The Cleeve Hill experience is closer to that standard than many imagine. With a little investment, publicity and marketing, it could easily become massively popular and a significant tourist attraction for the area, as well as a great amenity for the locals.

Andrew Barr (High Wycombe, 2020-11-30)

It’s a unique course in an amazing location with incredible views in just about any direction you choose. It’s a really tough test for good golfers but a great course to play if you’re a hacker like me.

Graeme Stuckey (Cheltenham, 2020-12-04)

I played this course whilst staying near Tewkesbury and hope to play it again in the future with friends. In very many ways it has a uniqueness of character and it would be a tragedy to lose it. It's not just "any old" golf course!!

Jim Garrett (LETCHWORTH GARDEN CITY, 2020-12-26)

Cleve Hill is my favourite golf course in the UK and I’ve played it over 25 years. It is not only a brilliant course, it is part of English heritage. It must be saved! Let me know how I can help.

This is a fantastic outdoor space for mixed activities and interests including golf. There is plenty of space for all.
Aside from stunning views and natural landscapes the corse features the worlds oldest man made feature on a golf course (forte on the 13th green).

I moved away from the area some years ago but revisit as often as I can as do some of my golf friends from London.

Derek Adam (Croxley Green, 2021-01-16)

Golf clubs are well worth saving!
