FOREST OF ARDEN GOLF CLUB

This 18-hole Championship Course has played host to European Tour events such as the British Masters, European Senior Masters and English Open.  Colin Montgomerie and Darren Clarke are two great golfers who have played this course.  With water hazards and trees that line the fairways along with thick roughs, this course is long and challenging for golfers of all abilities.  Being a certified sanctuary for Audubon, whose mission is to restore and conserve the area for birds and other wildlife, the golf course is therefore designed with a strict criterion to water quality and habitat management.

AYLESFORD GOLF COURSE

Recently redesigned, the Arden Golf Course is the shorter length 18-hole par 69 than that of the Forest of Arden Golf Course.  Although shorter, the course retains many hallmarks of Donald Steel architecture and has a great layout, green and bunkering design. Although a little difficult, this friendly course is a great choice for those visiting the area as a course for skills of all levels and offering great views.
