What the club says: The Arden course is one of the country's most spectacular challenges and host to a succession of international tournaments, including the 1997-1999 One-2-One British Masters, 2000-2002 English Open and the 2003 British Masters. It also has one of the European Tour's most distinct signature holes in its 18th; a Par 3, 202-yard hole overlooking the fishing lakes and resort.
The Aylesford Course; Golfers of all abilities will find the shorter Aylesford course a varied and enjoyable challenge. Kept to the same high standard as its celebrity sister, both courses offer a good chance that the friendly local deer will wander on to the course in this majestic countryside setting.

Past its best?
Greens were pacy and rolling true; fairways were patchy with brown marks/ stains all across the back nine. Bunkers ok, but not raked by users.I suppose, Is the Forest of Arden living off of its name from former years gone by and has the quality of the course fallen away?

Great location, and two very challenging courses. Aylesford course is a bit shorter, and is reachable for the mid hancicapper, but fairways quite tight in places.Arden course much longer, but found it more open and therefore more forgiving for the odd wild shot.
Both courses give you plenty to think about, especially bunkers?.

Great Course and not an easy play.
Played this on the 5th March 25 and found that it is a long course when damp and muddy in places. The course itself is superb and cannot fault it. Some great holes but not being a long hitter I found a lot of the Par 4s are Driver then 3 wood. Sometimes more. lol. Overall deffo a course you should play if you get the chance. Would I play it again ?. Oh hell yes. lolReviewer Rating

Fabulous course, although it was winter the greens were in great condition, a credit to the green staff. The course was not busy and the staff was very helpful both in the Pro shop and also in the bar.
We traveled from Bristol to play today and it was worth every minute, and will return with our society group later in the year.

Poor course
We played the pga course on 30/12/24. The welcome at the pro shop was awful. Would not engage and clear to see they mainly focused onbthe members. \We paid £50 to play and what a waste of money. Geern were in a state with pitch marks all over. The fairways were not cut. I under because of the wet condition but an awful state. I play at a local club which suffers in the wet weather but our club was in a better condition. \I would not recommend this course and will never play it again.Reviewer Rating

Good courses but ...
The two courses, especially the Arden, are very good and when we played in very good condition. BUT, pace of play is absolutely horrendous. There are no marshalls out on the course to keep things moving and we often we're waiting for 20+ minutes on holes - sometimes with two other groups. We had a 5 hour round on the Aylesford Course and nearly 6 on the Arden. Completely unacceptable. Would not return.Reviewer Rating
