Work to be done

The course is a nice laid out course with some demanding holes but also some enjoyable tactical holes. Staff and facilities very very very good. The course conditions very poor, very wet and no drainage. The greens were well kept but considering the course abs price I would expect better drainage and maintenance off the greens

Good for a quick game

Nice course but obviously not as nice as The Arden. It’s appropriately priced and well worth the £20 current fee. 3 hours on my own even after being stuck behind a 3-ball for a few holes. Some holes are wide open and some are very tight. It’s quite close to the M6 in places so quite a bit of noise.

Overall a decent course and would go again.

Nice short course

Aylesford is a nice short course to play the greens and fairways were in good condition, but I would say the bunkers were rock solid and not raked out ready for the day also no rakes if you were unfortunate to land in one and leave your shoe prints everywhere.

I would play it again but not rush to play it.

Course was in great condition, especially the greens & bunkers. First time playing & was very impressed. Not a long course but narrow & gave a different option to driver off the tee. Will be back again soon.
