Forest of Arden Country Club - Aylesford Course

Played in the afternoon and very quiet, so very enjoyable playing at my pace which isn’t quick!

First few holes very conventional and predictable with obviously less features than the Arden

However gets interesting when you get to the second par 3 and after.

This is a great course for those with a high handicap

Good warm up if you are thinking of taking on the Arden later

Played over the bank holiday weekend and it’s in a really poor condition. What could be a really nice golf course in picturesque surroundings is instead almost unplayable.

They’ve got a load of bunkers GUR with no sand in them and others with too much!!

The surrounds of the greens have massive bare patches where a load of grass has died.

Then the greens! Oh my, it’s like playing on a local council course, it looks burnt out in places with just big patches of dried mud instead of grass.

The fairways are ok but it seems like they don’t do much divot repair so areas of high footfall like on the par 5 11th become a minefield.

I don’t know what’s going on up there but not worth the money or time.

The greens were terrible,most had a lack of grass,not good for the price. Emailed the Club no response.

Greens awful, lots of black mud patches

They looked either diseased or like they had been scalped

They rolled true but any approach shots had no trackion with the greens

Very patchy around green

Right on rim of green it’s either bare or overgrown,

Tees and fairways were great

Bunkers great

Pace of play was dreadful

How can too courses on the same course be so different in quality

It’s like the Brabazon and the Derby as the Belfry

Set up is fantastic, great views of the Championship course whilst driving in.

Staff were very helpful in the pro shop everywhere had a relaxed atmosphere.

Unfortunately the experience was let down a little by the poor greens. It does look like they’re trying to get them back into some shape. At £37.50 I’d expect better.

Most of the course was in good condition but the greens were brown and very patchy. The ball bobbled on the surface. It let the experience down considerably.

I was very pleased with this course. I would recommend.

Great course to play. In a lovely condition. Great range of holes. No silly long ones which makes it more enjoyable as you have to think of where you want your ball to be, rather than just hitting long. Definitely going to play again and a great price.

very nice course, a few holes tricky to find, could do with a map on scorecard ,greens in decent condition for time of year, would highly recommend

Arrived early and spent time using the practice facilities, decent range, good short game area and large putting green. Staff friendly in shop and at starters hut, weather was fantastic and we had no golfers immediately in front of us so got round course in good time, course was in good condition for time of year. Great round of golf!

Really enjoyed it will be back a lot more now I know it’s here

Great layout, and kept in great condition. Lush fast greens. Some tight par4s. If not driving staighter than steam strain smoke!... then irons be a safer bet 😄

Overall highly recommend.

Well worth the money 💰

We had a good round on Sunday.

The course was in decent condition and has a good layout.

The course is quite open but there are a few tricky tee shots.

Enjoyed the 5 par 3s.

Good value at £35 p/p.

Course held up well after the previous nights rain, greens and Tee boxes are in great condition

The price of drinks in the bar is ridiculous so we avoid that and pop somewhere else on the way home.

The fairways and greens were in good condition for the time of year. But straying into the rough it was pretty soft under foot.

I will definitely be returning when the warmer months come, it’s a good challenge for the amateur golfer.

Great well looked after Course. Well worth the visit. Staff all friendly.Big shout out in the 11th hole kiosk to the Lady who served us. Will be back. 5 Stars.
