A good test
Great test for all abilities course in great condition greens were a bit slow and play was very slow due to four ball in front took us 4 hours and 20 minutes but still had a great day will definitely play again and staff are very friendly
Great Course for the Money
Played a round yesterday at the Forest of Arden and for the money you cannot fault it.
Went out at 9am and had a 2 ball in front of us - so by the 3rd hole we didn't see them again really all round. So no slow play.
The course was in really good condition apart from the occasional Ground under repair but you can cope with that.
3 of the 4 golfers had played the course before but the 1st timer couldn't believe the cost compared to other local course around Birmingham. He was very impressed.
Great course
First time I have played here and will definitely be going back. The course is in great condition some tricky holes if you go off the fairway. Pace of play was great .
Well maintained / good security
Very well maintained course especially for a sister course with consistent greens. Halfway facility toilet / vending machine. Polite greeting from club house & starter Marshall. Played as a x2 ball 4hr 10min round as a slowish x4 ball in front of us (not sure what was in front of them). Security staff at the entry / exit barrier very reassuring. Plenty of parking. A little expensive £35 compared to similar courses within a 10 mile radius. I would play here again.
Feels a little municipal
Greens and tees were well maintained and a team of groundsmen were sprucing up the bunkers but the rough and grass near tees/back of greens felt like an agricultural field badly mowed. They need to hollow tine and build up the surface and then mow more regularly. But it’s not so expensive so maybe that’s what you can expect for your money. Pay double the money and play on the main course.
Tricky
Two of us played and our handicap is 28. The course was in good condition but the grass on the side of the fairways was thick. If you didn’t hit the fairway you were in trouble and more often than not even if we’d seen were our ball went we couldn’t find it! Personally I think you need to be playing off 20 or less to play the course.we would play again but I think we need to improve before we do😁
This is a great course and good value
Played this course for the second time. This is an excellent set up with two great courses, friendly staff and a good test of golf. Already looking forward to playing again in the near future.
Great Day on the Aylesford
Course was in great condition and fabulous value for £25. Greens were in great condition and while not a long course the second cut of rough was long enough to make it challenging if your strayed! Nice staff, overall great value.
Faultless
If this is the cheaper course then god knows how good the other one is.
Staff superb, beer great, Greens unbelievably well kept.
Best value for money in a long time this course.
Will be back 100000%.
Lovely Friday Afternoon
Great use of half a day’s annnual leave to play golf with friends! Great weather, great conditions and great company! Course fairways were fantastic although the rough was a bit more challenging.
We’ve played this Aylesford course two Fridays running and it’s been great each time! The greens are consistently great condition. Putting is a real pleasure!
If you’ve not visited this course before, then I say it’s well worth making the trip.
Good overall experience
Good experience despite the middle aged man working in the golf shop was very rude when me and my friend arrived looked down upon us was very snobby and was just unecceserally rude. Everyone else we spoke to was great besides him and the course is amazing.
