The impact you'll make 

When a golfer walks onto the first tee - imagine that first look they take ready to set up a shot on a perfectly cut tee. Followed by that sigh of relief as their ball flows straight down the immaculate fairway, avoiding the perfectly raked bunker and landing on an outstanding putting surface. 

The Championship Arden course is one of the Country's most established European Tour Venues, having played host to the British Masters, The English Open, The European Senior Masters and most recently, The 2020 Hero Open. 

Our Aylesford Course is considerably shorter than its prestigious neighbour, but the expert attention of our greenkeepers ensures that it remains in equally immaculate condition.Both courses were designed by the legendary Donald Steel 

The venue was recently invited into the 59 Club Eminent collection, one of 12 venues worldwide who are delivering the benchmark of excellence in Global Golf and Hospitality. Working at Forest of Arden is therefore an excellent opportunity to learn from one of the industry leaders.
