18 Windy holes at Cleeve Hill Golf Club, Cheltenham. Every shot with stunning panoramic views.

Every shot from my incredibly windy round at Cleeve Hill Golf Club in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, on 12th April 2024.
I'd been to Cleeve Hill before but that was 10 years ago and I'd visited to birdwatch back then, but I do remember it being a spectacular spot with lots of hills to keep you fit. I'd already played 18 holes earlier that day so with the ever strengthening wind, this was to be a stern test of golf and my aching body! I didn't realise quite how stressful it would be to film with the constant 15-20 mph wind, sometimes gusting well over 30. I lost count of how many times I cursed the camera but did manage to film every shot, even if I questioned myself repeatedly for doing so during the round!
The course fits brilliantly with the natural contours of the hill and is a wonderful test of your game. There are many varied holes with several standout holes, certainly all the par 3's and of course the wonderful 13th. Walkers share the common land with the golf course but with so much open space there are minimal hold ups. The views from many of the holes are stunning, especially the views to the west where you can see for miles and miles, down to the Severn estuary and across to the hills of Wales.
With the wind, scoring was always going to be difficult with 2 perfect wood strikes, still leaving me well short of a few par 4's. Fortunately I finished the round well which helped turn a very average round into a decent one under the conditions.
It's certainly a course I'd love to play again but under still conditions to banish some of the memories of stress and to take in those breath-taking views once again.
