Forest of Arden Country Club - Arden Course

The course and facilities at the forest of Arden were luxurious and the fairways and greens l spectacular. Challenging course but top class and exceptional value for money.

Great course , greens superb. Back in a few months. Hopefully I will play better.

Played a mid week evening round as a 1 ball. Immediately could see the course was in impeccable condition. Greens were undulating and challenging and general layout was very forgiving for a championship course, except the 18th which proved to be a round killer for me. 100% will be playing again thorougly enjoyed that round!!

Very nice courses and complex, strangely for time of year both courses need some rain, nothing growing much just off the greens, even at this early stage of the season a few holes have lots of divots with the amount of play they get. Probably will be a lot better in a few more weeks.

I played a two ball on Saturday 29/2/22 with a 12.10 tee off. I’m a very average golfer myself so I certainly feel that courses should be available to all levels of golfer. However the pace of play on Saturday was ridiculous. We ended up having to walk the last 3 holes even though we had given ourselves almost 5 hours of daylight!
The course definitely needs marshalls to maintain both pace of play and basic etiquette. We saw trolleys dragged over greens, we cleared lager and cider cans from tees. There were groups more interested in boozing than keeping up with the group ahead.
I have played this course on numerous occasions and it is fantastic. With just a little more attention this could have been another great experience.

The course was and is generally in great condition, pace of play depressingly frustrating and with a one ball in front and behind but the course backed up so after around 12-14 holes pretty difficult to focus an concentrate.

The clubhouse is tired and for a Marriot needs a decent menu and bar refit , doesn't compare well to the Belfry off course.
Course staff great , Pro shop , starter good but no on course management with marshall on pace of play

Got invited to play with some members who guided me around the course. Great bunch.

Went for late afternoon round as a two ball. Wasn’t told there was a club match on and as a result were held up Behind two slow playing four balls who wouldn’t let us play through. Ended up walking off after 12 as wouldn’t have made it around anyway. Nice course though.

Arden course is a fantastic layout however the front 9 greens had been tined, there was goose dropping all over the first and 8th as well as it not being as well defined as the back nine , we would have been really disappointed had we paid £95 for an earlier tee But the back 9 is as good as anywhere I’ve played , clubhouse was really slow service waited 45 mins to order food and had to leave as it was an hour wait for the food to be delivered!!

Great course, good value, very enjoyable. lacking someone at starters hut to welcome you and answer questions especially for first timers.

Definitely needs a sign after the 9th green to direct you to the 10th tee, the one that is there is all the way up at the event venue and is hidden by the bushes, we went in completely the opposite direction leading to an unnecessary delay

Played as a single late on a Tuesday when in the area. Nice front 9 with some holes playing around and over a large pond. The course really gets going once you get into the back 9 in the old deer park. Ancient trees and roaming deer make you feel like you’re miles from anywhere. 2 par 5s on back nine (12&17) play to a double green which concentrates your mind! Good tough par 4s on 13, 14 and 16 test you out before the thrilling 200 yard par 3 18th over water. Good test of golf. David, 5 hcap.

Beautiful parkland course in superb condition. Worth the green fees.

Have played here before and always in good condition. Love the lay out and test it provides but fair for a range of handicaps

Good coffee.
Friendly staff & a great day out
Thankyou to all involved for a lovely day out.

Very much 2 nines, back nine being a little bit special. Not necessarily fair to rate during Covid, but it wasn’t up to usual standard. A little bit scruffy and greens average for a top course. Paid £50 which was reasonable concession for COVID and conditions. Personally, would wait to play again until things unwind properly
