Played 'em both in 2010. I remember that the food was brilliant.
Aylesford is good and Arden is prettier - if you like pretty - more trees and deer roaming about.
Much prefer FoA to Belfry.

Not played FP and would be happy to go there.

 

[chrisd]

I played both the Aylesford and the Arden many years back and the Arden being the main course was much the better and, like the Belfry, you wouldn't want to play there without at least a round on the top track, but preferably both rounds imo

We were part of a massive corporate day with guys flying in from Scotland and Ireland to play the Arden course. At the last minute they shoved us all out on the Aylesford. What a goat track in comparison. People went absolutely bonkers about it and I vowed never to return. And I haven't...

Gives Lydd a good run

Gives Lydd a good run

Not having a dig, just curious as to why Lydd is seen as the San Marino of golf courses.

Never been to Lydd golf course and having seen all the “bad press” about it on the forum I had a quick look at their website. Apparently it is a championship golf course ?. At £29 a round on a weekend it must be the bargain of the century. Is it really that bad?

Happy to give Forest of Arden a go as never played there.

Lydd was pretty awful when first opened, flat and soulless. A few years ago they obtained many tons of soil from a big development and built up the sides of fairways and it seemed to develop some character. The holes can be quite long and there's lakes and water ditches, and when I played it about 3 years back we had the view that if a fair amount of money was spent there it could rival the likes of Littlestone. The maintenance was pretty poor and bunkers were in a state but we just said what it could be!

 

[IanM]

I've played FoA main course. The only reason I'd return would be to see you miserable beggars!

[Smiffy]

You total and utter knob!!!!
??????????

 

[Voyager EMH]

sorry guys, I forgot to close this down as there was very little interest.

Give everyone the date and venue and I think you will get a lot more interest.

You have two so far today and we don't even know when and where.

And I must thank @Smiffy for his heartfelt words of encouragement.
