Forest of Arden Hotel and Country Club sits at the heart of a vast Warwickshire estate — 10,000 acres of ancient parkland and woodland that includes roaming deer and established oak woodland framing the fairways. Conveniently located close to Birmingham Airport, the NEC, and the M6 and M42 motorways, it is one of the most accessible championship golf resorts in Central England. Rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, and the resort’s dining and clubhouse facilities are designed around a smooth, golf-focused guest experience.
Two Donald Steel-designed 18-hole courses give Forest of Arden its golfing reputation. The Arden Course, a par-72 stretching to 7,213 yards, is the flagship — a layout that has hosted the British Masters and the English Open, with tree-lined holes, water hazards, and greens that reward placement over power. The Aylesford Course, a par-69, offers a more manageable alternative well suited to mixed-ability groups or a lighter day’s play. A floodlit driving range with covered bays, a short-game area, and putting greens support the on-course experience.
The atmosphere here is purposeful and calm — a resort built for golfers who want everything in one place without distraction. For anyone planning golf holidays in the Midlands or an England golf break combining championship courses with ease of access, Forest of Arden is a dependable and satisfying choice.
