Forest of Arden (4)

Located just outside Birmingham, Forest of Arden is a well-known golf resort surrounded by gently sloping parkland and extensive woods, home to two courses. The Arden Course is the standout, tight off the tee, well-bunkered and demanding smart course management rather than brute distance, with water hazards and tree-lined fairways that keep things lively as conditions harden. The Aylesford Course is shorter and more forgiving, a solid option for a relaxed round or mixed-ability groups. The on-site hotel offers comfortable, modern rooms geared towards golfers, with straightforward, dependable dining for post-round food and drinks, a practical base for quick getaways, society outings, or as part of a larger UK itinerary.
