MARRIOTT FOREST OF ARDEN HOTEL, GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
The Forest of Arden is among the most highly regarded golf resorts in the UK, with two superb golf courses and fantastic hotel facilities.
Arden Course
The Arden Course is one of the country's most established tournament layouts, having hosted the cream of the European Tour for the British Masters from 1997-1999 and in 2003, and the English Open from 2000-2002. This is indicative of the quality of the course, which has some truly distinctive holes, especially the 18th, an exacting par-3. When stretched to its fullest, the Arden will measure 7,213 yards, and demand the absolute best in striking in order to score well. Should you manage to find the green in regulation, the outstanding putting surfaces will give you a good chance to convert.
Aylesford Course
The Aylesford Course is considerably shorter than its prestigious neighbour, but the expert attention of the greenkeepers ensures that it remains in equally immaculate condition. The Aylesford may be less than 6,000 yards, but underestimate it at your peril, as there are penalties to be paid for the wayward. This charming little course adds good variety to the Forest of Arden's repertoire, and emphasises the quality of a golf break at the resort.
In addition, the Forest of Arden is home to a first class golf academy, where visitors can seek the guidance of one of the resident PGA professionals.
