Forest of Arden

Set within 10,000 acres of ancient woodland in the Warwickshire countryside where deer roam free, Forest of Arden is one of our best-selling UK resorts thanks to its central locations and great value.

The resort offers an excellent four-star hotel, great spa facilities, and two exceptional golf courses – including the Arden Course which is a former host to the British Masters and English Open.

Every one of its 214 stylish bedrooms come well equipped with everything you could possibly need during your stay, along with an abundance of leisure facilities and lavish surroundings.

With an excellent location in the West Midlands, nestled between Birmingham and Coventry, the hotel is accessible by train, plane or car, and is ideal for groups who are located in different part of the UK.

Golf Courses

Forest of Arden is home to two top parkland golf courses. The Arden Course is the flagship layout and is a previous host to the European Tour’s British Masters, English Open, and more recently, the Hero Open. Follow in the footsteps of former winners here such as Colin Montgomerie, Darren Clarke, and Thomas Bjorn!

The course itself is a Donald Steel design that makes full use of the 10,000-acre estate, with majestic oak trees, dramatic water infested holes, and beautiful conditions. The back-9 is particularly special and plays through a stunning deer park, which is a great perk to the round. The 18th is one of the best parkland holes in golf. A long, nerve-racking par three that plays over a deep ravine to a large green, framed by the hotel and clubhouse.

The Aylesford Course is another great parkland test and is the easier of the two courses at Forest of Arden, which makes it perfect for beginners.

Zest serves more casual dining throughout the day with a wide range of light dishes and snacks to enjoy before or after your round of golf. There is an outdoor terrace where you can eat or sip a drink al fresco, and there are big screens throughout the property for watching sport!

Nearby

Set in the heart of the Midlands, Forest of Arden Country Club is nearby to many of the local attractions such as Cadbury World, Warwick Castle, and Drayton Manor Theme Park.

With Royal Shakespeare theatres, magnificent castles and historic houses, Warwickshire is an exceptional place to visit. Take a trip down to Wedgnock Rifle Range, a large adventure sports centre featuring a spacious wooded paintball area covering over 50 acres. The centre also has a rifle range offering shooters a complete spectrum of clay shooting disciplines. For a spot of shopping, we’d highly recommend Birmingham Bullring.
