I was lucky enough to play Minchinhampton Old and Cleeve Hill back in early May. Wonderful courses. In fact, not to be dramatic, I can say that the day at Minchinhampton Old is my favorite 18 holes of golf I have ever played. The feeling of having a great walk around an old Common, with dog walkers, occasional cars, houses and history and views all around - and then a lovely interesting course. It's just the best. Very linksy, after the dry spring. And a wonderful pub in the heart of the common. Cleeve Hill was a real experience too, and I understand why it's so highly ranked. We played a greensomes match there which got a bit heated, so that coloured the experience a bit. Should you have time for another round, I recommend Stinchcombe Hill also. But of a hidden gem. We had amazing greens there, and it's another hilltop course - though not across common land (stricly speaking). Breathtaking views and another great walk, and some very, very fine holes.
