Arden Course at Forest of Arden

<p>The Championship Arden Course at the Forest of Arden Golf Club stands out as a top tournament layout in the country. It has been the stage for major events including the British Masters from 1997-1999 and in 2003, as well as the English Open from 1993-1997, 2000-2002, and most recently in 2020 when it was renamed the Hero Open.</p> <p>The layout is designed to cater to golfers of all skill levels. When played at its longest it requires exceptional striking skills to achieve a commendable score. If you manage to reach the green within the expected number of strokes, the exceptional quality of the putting surfaces will provide you with a favorable opportunity to convert the putt successfully.</p> <p><a href="/forest-of-arden">More info on Arden Course at Forest of Arden &gt;&gt;</a></p> <table><thead> <tr> <th>Arden Course at Forest of Arden facts</th> <th></th> </tr> </thead><tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Location</strong></td> <td>Warwickshire, England</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Length</strong></td> <td>7,213 yards</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Par</strong></td> <td>72</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Designed by</strong></td> <td><a href="https://www.yourgolftravel.com/golf-architects/donald-steel-golf-courses">Donald Steel</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Established</strong></td> <td>1992</td> </tr> </tbody></table> <blockquote> <p><em>❝Make sure to leave a little time aside before your round to have a practice putt as the greens here are superb and you need to gauge their speed.

Championship Course at Hawkstone Park

<p>The Hawkstone Course, consisting of 18 holes, served as a training ground for a young Sandy Lyle and offers a selection of exceptional holes.
