Clever Hill GC is a historic course that offers a superb environment for golf and to enhance fitness of those using it.Any facility that helps improve fitness should be retained in order to maintain the health of the population.

I've recently discovered Cleeve Hill and it's charm. It's a unique golf course one which is rare in this day. I truly believe that this course, managed and marketed could be one of the ’must play’ courses not only in the region but in the UK.Jeremy Hall (Headley, 2020-09-10)

The course at Cleeve Hill is unique: a links course on top of a hill. A beautiful layout, with superb views and some quirky holes, it is also a superb test of golf.I have played on Cleeve Hill many times over the years and to lose a facility like it would be a real tragedy for golf.

I am signing because Cleeve Hill Golf Club is a piece of Gloucestershire history. It is in an area of outstanding beauty which should be preserved. To develop this site would cause massive traffic disruption to the surrounding areaSue Barnes (Gretton , 2020-09-10)

I first started riding racehorses on Cleeve Hill in 1967, there were always golfers there back then. I am a golfer and played for the first time there three weeks ago. I was amazed at how good the course was and how well kept it was. Tewkesbury Borough Council should be ashamed of themselves for not going to the ratepayers who pay there wages without a public consultation first. They should be ashamed but they won’t, typical local authority I’m afraid to say. This facility needs to be saved for everyone. The clubhouse needs to be renovated and bring it up to a standard that befits a most enviable position. How much has TBC spent of its upkeep in the last 20 yrs, nothing by the looks of it. Another disgraceful display of arrogance by council employees, shame on the lot of em.David Francis (Cheltenham , 2020-09-10)

The Golf Course is a wonderful amenity for people who live in the area. It gives ordinary people the opportunity to enjoy golf. Many other golf courses in the area are too expensive for the majority of us. The club house is a great place for a drink or a meal for walkers. It would be a devastating loss for the còmmunity.Wendy Tomlinson (Cheltenham, 2020-09-10)

Like my course, Minchinhampton Old, Cleeve is one of the traditional hilltop Cotswold courses along with Painswick and Stinchcombe.I do hope some TBC councillors will be looking to secure their vote when the public marks its cross

Cleeve Cloud Golf Club is an important recreational outlet for the local community and has long been part of the local landscape.Loss of the clubhouse will be remove an important venue for walkers using Cleeve Hill.

I’m signing this petition because I do not wish to see this long-standing and unique golfing facility close. I am not convinced that the key player, Tewkesbury Borough Council, has done as much as it should have done to secure the future of the facility for the benefit of the golfing community and the Cleeve Hill Trust.Christopher O’Mahoney (Southam, 2020-09-10)

I'm signing because I am a professional golf course architect and recognise Cleeve Hill as being a unique and high quality layout, worthy of study and respect. I've played the course many times over the years and love it to bits. It is one of the most underrated and undervalued courses in the UK. It needs to be saved. There is no other course quite like it in the world of golf.Robin Hiseman (Fleet, 2020-09-11)
#1369
As an ex Cheltonian, I have very fond childhood memories of various family members playing here - the history, the stories are priceless.My husband is a golfer & was horrified to hear of the demise.
Please don’t let this happen, let more families/generations make more memories.

I started playing on Cleeve Hill as a boy. It ignited a life long passion for golf. The course, it’s trials and terrors, were matched only by its utter beauty and peacefulness. A world without the approach to “The Camp” is a lesser world.Please see sense and keep this magnificent course open.
Matthew Hall (Edinburgh , 2020-09-11)

i think this is a travesty that a golf course that has been in exhistence for 125 years should be forced to close because of lack presumably of funding by the Council. A great course open to the general public not only for golf but also for exercise and the views are fantastic.Adrian Sollis (Evesham, 2020-09-11)
#1382
