Good pace of play

Course was in ok condition, greens are always of a decent standard, fairways and some areas of the course quite boggy. Millionaire golf and as a three ball we were round in just over 3 hours.

Immaculate

With the weather we’ve had recently the course played beautifully, on the flat holes, tee shots were rolling out 10/15 yards and the greens were immaculate and ran true, 10/10 couldn’t fault it anywhere, would 100% recommend playing to anyone of any ability

Will

Unfortunately very slow play has to be the main issue. Holes weren’t too exciting. Greens were in good condition but unfortunately wouldn’t pay again due to slow pace.

Underwhelming

So we played the aylesford course, a course which seems to let anyone of any level play, people with crew neck t shirts, people who wouldn’t know what a ‘pitch marks’ was if they got one in the face. We had members who admitted to not booking just wonder on our tee time. Bunkers look lush but no actual sand in them, just dense hard grit. Tee boxes unrolled, greens don’t have front / middle / back flags, half way house is awful, a vending machine that will charge you £1.50 for a tunnocks! Staff in the pro shops were decent, to be fair and the practice facilities are good. If you’re going to play, pay a little more and play the Arden. Unless you’re a moron that shouldn’t be in the course, then I guess the aylesford is for you.

Top quality!

Love this course., well maintained, greens are in excellent condition.

Good layout, only suggestion I would make is to have a course planner on the back of the score card.

Nice forgiving course

Great track with nice greens that isn’t too difficult but enough to get your attention. Worth a round for a 90 to 100 golfer

Good course but slow

Nice course. Due to the very reasonable price I think many hackers play there so pace can get very slow. No sign of any marshals looking after pace of play. Would be excellent value if pace was better. But I would prefer to pay extra and play somewhere with better pace. Hopefully Arden will be better paced.
