Good Track

First visit to the Aylesford and found it very good. The greens were pristine, quite quick, hard to read at first but very true. Rough kept short which saves time hunting for the ball but still managed to lose some. Very tidy course, some interesting holes, two par 5's so not massively long. Lots playing the Arden but fewer on this course. If you cant afford the Arden this is a nice alternative. Will come again.

The Arden is a top course, the Aylesford isn't bad either

Both courses in superb condition. The Arden is obviously the jewel here, but don't discount the Aylesford because of that, it's a really good challenge. Tees and greens all kept to a very high standard. Fairways that are close to being carpets. Covid meant restricted menus which puts a bit of a damper on the post round.

Venue with lots of options

Lucky enough to play both courses a few weeks prior to the European Tour UK Swing event.

The Arden was superb and in great condition and a lovely layout and challenge to play. It is also a typical resort style layout so nice and wide off the tees, plenty of hazards and nice big greens which were in excellent condition. Nice to finish with a par 3 over water as welll.

The Aylesbury is slightly shorter but provided several risk and reward holes and was also in great condition.

I'd highly recommend both courses if you are looking for somewhere to play in the area and you will find that the Arden and Aylesbury are priced accordingly for what they provide. With the hotel the venue provides a great option for a stay and play trip or even society golf outing and although I suspect it is often overlooked by its more famous neighbour make sure you look to play here at some point you won't be disappointed.

What a venue and what a course

Superb hotel. Food excellent, nice rooms good sized pool.
Course is more than a bit special. Even a wind gusting at over 50 MPH couldn't spoil the day.
would love to go back on a still day and prove that it's a playable course for all handicaps.

Disappointing from previous visits

Course condition was terrible. Some tee boxes looked like they hadn't been moved for months. No divot boxes on them to repair your divots and this meant you couldn't get a stance. Greens were in terrible condition also with what looked like lots of dead patches on them. 16th green had new turf but wasn't marked off as GUR. Practice ground which also has been quality in the past was not worth going on. Real shame as I used to look forward to playing here but would think twice in the future.
Bar staff after the round where brilliant and the best part of the day.

Excellent course, very picturesque with some tough holes. Even though the greens had been worked on they were still very fast
