Good Course
Course in very good order. All greens excellent and enjoyable round. Only slight hiccup was a very slow 3 ball in front who eventually lets us through.
Very impressive
Considering the weather we have had in the Midlands lately the course was in great condition and greens were brilliant. Really enjoyed the round. Would highly recommend
25 handicap , shot 23
Overall nice course but I should have booked the derby course as it looks a lot better maintained, which is a shame
Good course but left a little disappointed
We were first out on the course and looking forward to a good morning of golf. We were surprised even on the first hole how soft and muddy the course was. This spiraled into lost balls that were just off the fairway and bunkers we had to drop our balls out of because they were compacted like concrete. We talked to some members in the bar after and they said they treated all the course as gur not just the bunkers. All said and done we still enjoyed our round and we will be back but only in the summer.
Hot Day - Slow Play
It was a hot day for golf. A group (4 players) several holes ahead were very slow which backed up the rest of the groups. Quite frustrating to a point people skipped holes. It's pot luck I guess, but it took us 4 hrs for the round.
The greens played well. A couple of the tees were very wet which was a surprise.
Lovely course at great price
Booked a 4 ball Friday tee time at 11.50 for £35 is fantastic value
Well kept course and greens are superb.
Cant wait to play the arden course now.
Overall pretty mediocre course. Very expansive fairways not too challenging. On the afternoon we played due to a corporate event on Arden course many golfers thrown onto the Aylesford..so packed doubling up to fourball from a booked two ball..
Greens good...golf shop friendly and Marshall helpful.
Good course- poor customer aftercare
Great golf course, lovely condition and well maintained! A joy to play! Shame about the off course amenities… Pro shop closed at 1700??? finished golf at 2030, bar was closed,??? Couldn’t believe lack of welfare for Golfers overall!?? no drinks or food service… very very poor from a HOTEL owned championship course, … really need to sort this out !to attract casual golfers.

The staff in the shop and gentleman on reception were exceptional!!
My playing partner was an hour late due to traffic problems, they manoeuvred things around so when he arrived we got on straight away. They also were very good with my playing partner in making him comfortable when he arrived stressed. However, maybe that was a bad idea as he won the golf…
Great course, great staff, very attentive, very professional!
Thank you, look forward to our next visit
Everything ok
Greens were ok but lots of pitch marks. Condition of course was ok but rough quite high and fairways quite narrow.
Very nice course.
First time playing here. Nice friendly welcome and some advice. Played the front 9 in really good time, but on the 10th caught up with a society day party. Wouldn't have made any difference if I was let through as there were several groups in front of them. Played quite well until then, waiting 10-15 minutes on most tees. Anyway doesn't detract from the enjoyment I had playing a really well kept course. Everything on this course was good, greens, bunkers and fairways were excellent. Best course I have played this year. But nearly 3 hours to play 8 holes wasn't great, but plenty of wildlife around to watch. Great day & definitely play again.
Forest of Arden - Aylesford Course
Lovely set up and fairly challenging but it was the condition of the greens that impressed most. No marks at all, firm, true and smooth - A1 standard
Excellent
Great course. Very tough if you stray from the fairways (which happened a lot) but really enjoyed it.
Greens were excellent.
A fantastic round
Second time playing the course and that knowledge certainly helped! Could really see the difference and improvement in the course conditions from having previously played on a very wet winters day. Course was challenging but rewarding for good shots and smart decisions. The green side bunkers caught us out a few times but they were well maintained making them easier to escape. Pace of play was super quick with our group getting round in sub 4 hours. All in all a very enjoyable day out, can’t wait to play again.
A great price to get to play a challenging and rewarding course layout. Greenkeepers have obviously been working hard to keep the course in such good condition despite all the rain, was wet underfoot in areas but never affected shots and greens were still fast and receptive. Can’t wait to play again with a bit of course knowledge!
