Summary:

Southern Valley is a proprietary owned club, situated in Shorne just south of Gravesend in Kent which opened in June 1999.
Construction of Southern Valley began in January 1998 on 138 acres situated in Shorne just south of Gravesend in Kent. The site was originally Gravesend Airport, which was actively in use during the 2nd World War and overlooks the Thames Estuary.
The course has been designed and built in sympathy with a traditional Links Course. It features large greens and tees alongside undulating fairways. The subsoil is predominantly chalk that provides excellent drainage conditions. The tees and greens have been built to the most modern specifications and ensures that no temporary tees or greens are used any time of the year.
As the course is young, the landscaping still needs time to mature, but 30,000 gorse and broom plants have been imported which enhances the feel of a seaside links.

Facilities:

Large clubhouse with full bar, catering and changing facilities plus professional shop and golf practice facilities.

So finally the potato field is no longer, now that Irrigation and a new club house in place. Used Green saver book got 2 of us for 20quid. Fairways / bunkers in good condition greens were good Challenging inland-Links course especially when windy Rough was rough but you could find your ball. can imagine being in the clubhouse if you over hit to the 18th as the Green not overly big. would go back again.

New club house will be great when finished (about 2 weeks)greens in very good condition and most a nice size. Very open and quite easy to play, fairways cut too short and very dry. Would play again no problem.

This course plays very well in the winter, because of the chalk soil so it doesn't get wet. Greens are consistent, but very fast. In the sunmmer pitching short of the green is advisable as the ball runs forever here. Not too difficult, but straight drives are essential.

I played southern valley on friday 26th and was quietly surprised. Playing a 'linksy' course was different for me and quite enjoyable. The condition was not the greatest as it's quite a new course. The first cut around the green was quite bare in some places but the all year round pick and place was useful. Good value for money at £16.50. The clubhouse and facilities need help though. Portacabins for club bar and toilets, but saying that the people working in there were very helpful.
