Jack Frost nipping at your nose.

It was very frosty and white balls disappeared in the rough but for the weather conditions we had an enjoyable day. Staff were very friendly as usual and facilities are excellent.

Amazing course for the price

Got a round for £25 and considering the weather lately the course was In fantastic condition. For the same price as you’d pay for 18 at most courses this is a level above. Short but still challenging makes for a super fun afternoon out.

Great course and service

Staff came to find me before my round to get me out ahead of time so as my group could clear a society and not get held up.
I've never known a service like this, outstandingly thoughtful.

Under appreciated

Said for many years the Aylesford is overlooked as everyone wants to get on the Arden, its a lovely second course and due to the rough was very difficult to play

Far to many people on the course

I know it’s Saturday and going to be busy but at one point there was 4 groups on one hole
They need to space you the tee times every 7 minutes does not work

So slow

Was really looking forward to playing the Aylesford, have played here many times over the years, can’t criticise the course, but the speed of play was tedious, was ok for five holes then all came to a standstill, was a number of occasions during the rest of the round where there was almost four groups playing the same hole, unfortunately this is not the first time I’ve experienced this at the Forrest,

A good test

Great day, course was in nice condition, only criticism was a number of almost unplayable edge of green on a slope pin positions.

Pace of Play

Only managed 16 holes before walking off due to the pace of play. There was a competition for which impacted this, however the groups we were behind played so slowly.

The course itself was very muddy and did not look in good condition. I would not recommend the course to someone else.

Challenge in the mud!

Difficult strat before golf as i was charged by the golf club direct as well as with Golf Now. After a lot of rain the fairways and course was very soaked and muddy. However the tees and greens were excellent.
Staff and officials very polite and helpful.
