Given the content, I'd suggest any of

East Sussex, St Mellion, Slaley Hall

If you are looking at Slaley Hall, ie happy to go NE, I'd suggest also checking out

Close House
Ramside Hall

I disagree with Phil when he says the Arden only has 8 decent holes. It’s a really nice track and a good test. The back nine is particularly nice.

A course doesn’t need raised tees to impress, and I’ve never failed to enjoy my golf when playing it. Ultimately it’s resort golf, but it’s one of the better ones I’ve played and is available at a reasonable price.

As I say, I haven’t played the Aylesford so can’t comment.

I thought the front 9 at Forest of Arden was spoilt by motorway noise and goose Can't actually remember a single hole!
Back 9 is different gravy! Very enjoyable.

I’ve played the Arden a number of times - nice track. Not played the Aylesford but it looks okay.

I tend to agree with Phil, though - for a £350 budget you can perhaps do better.

You're not missing anything. Aylesford is a £20 course. Some nice holes on the Arden but they can playa lot better for £350.

What are your priorities? Nice courses or nice accommodation?

Certainly agree there are better options on that budget.

East Sussex or St Mellion then.

Get one booked and have fun. There's an awful lot of thinking going on! Heck, pick me up at the Coldra!

Dalmahoy. It's in Scotland but not that far from England. ?
Close enough to Edinburgh for a good night out too.

 

[rulefan]

Slaley - but not in a wet winter.

 

[Val]

Slaley Hall, St Pierre, Forrest of Arden

Belton Woods is probably worth a shout

 

[IanMcC]

Look no further than The Nottinghamshire. You will not be disappointed.

 

[arnieboy]

Dale Hill or East Sussex National are good.

 

[SyR]

Another vote for East Sussex National, it's a lovely set-up. It can suffer a bit in the winter as its built on clay, but they have spent a great deal of money and time over the years to improve the drainage. The West course is probably my all time favourite course that I have played.

Courses and Hotel were good but one course can be soggy in winter.
