Great price

Course was very boggy in parts but couldn’t complain for the cost. Have played this a few times in better conditions and is a great course. Would highly recommend.

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

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,
