Boggy
Really let down, not a cheap course and the conditions were terrible, so muddy , balls plugging , greens had been hollowed so the balls kept bobbling and nearly slipped over a few times just walking onto the fairway. Appreciate it’s been raining a lot but surely you could do more with the walk ways
Fantastic course especially the back 9
A full review of the course can be found on my YouTube channel

Great course
Course was in phenomenal condition and surprisingly dry considering the large amount of rain we have had in the last 4 days. Shows how much work they put into course to make it playable. Greens in great condition, fairways tight as anything, especially for winter. A few muddy area but mostly at pinch points which is to be expected.
Well the worth the last minute booking with my home course closed
Excellent
Considering all the rain in recent days and weeks the tees, fairways and greens were in excellent condition
Parts of the rough were very wet but that is to be expected
Excellent!
Having played allot of courses around the UK, this course was excellent. Really well laid out, and the fairways and greens were in excellent condition.
Well designed course
Course chosen for a group of friends who all lived equidistant to the course (about 2 hours drive),
Experience was coloured by condition of greens and bunkers. Greens had obviously just been subject to maintenance and so were not in good condition.
A considerable number of bunkers were also subject to maintenance with many being GUR, others should have been, but either the GUR had been washed away or was never there. Others had brand new sand that caused plugged lies.
Areas of the course were boggy, again causing plugging.
Had played previously in December which was a totally different experience, hence we returned. Had we known about the greens, we would not have driven a minimum of two hours. Am sure that in a few weeks it will be an entirely different experience.
A lot of well designed holes in some attractive surroundings, the back 9 in the deer park especially appealing. We did wonder why so many well established trees were either dead or dying in the deer park.
The locker room a bit cramped with no clothes hangers for such a prestigious course. Plenty of choice for food before and after, but don't expect low prices, we noticed a considerable price hike in the three months sin e we played here last.
Ridiculously slow
Beautiful course and for the time of year in great condition . Unfortunately the pace of play was soo slow, over 5.5 hours to get a round was farcical and ruined the experience. When you get told it’s 4 ball pace by the starter you expect anywhere between 4-4.5 but over 5.5 isn’t good . Greens were bumpy .
I’ll probably give it another go when the weather gets a bit kinder
Overpriced for condition of course!
Majority of bunkers under repair! Was not warned about this at any point of the booking process.
Unacceptable!!
Excellent
The course was in fantastic condition for mid February
Fairways in amazing condition
Great course and set up
This is a great course and set up. In my opinion the back 9 is amongst the best anywhere in the midlands. It’s beautiful, particularly when the deer are roaming.
Course and greens in tremendous condition for this time of year. Greens very true.
Only slight niggle was the pace of play, felt like it was over booked a little which isn’t ideal for a top end course like this. Spacing out the tee times a little more or having a marshall on the course would help massively as we had to wait a lot on the tees.
Great value
Course fantastic - only niggles we’re half way house closed and slow pace of play.
Forest of Arden - really good course
The course was in beautiful condition. It was a challenging course without being too hard. The greens were in excellent condition. Lovely wildlife with deer amongst other animals.
Immaculate
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.
