Rodway Hill Golf Club

The course is well-maintained and provides a genuine test of skill without being intimidating, making it equally suited to serious players and those after a casual round. As you work your way around, you'll take in views across the Gloucestershire countryside, a quieter corner of the wider Cotswolds area that rewards a slower pace of play.

The clubhouse provides a comfortable base for before or after your game, with food and drink available so you can settle in for the afternoon. The atmosphere here strikes a nice balance between being a proper golf club and staying approachable, so you won't feel out of place whether you're a regular or a visitor. The location works well too—Highnam is easily accessible from Gloucester itself, and straightforward to find if you're exploring the region by car. A day at Rodway Hill gives you the chance to get some exercise outdoors, enjoy the landscape around you, and take a break from sightseeing without any sense of pretension.
