Southern Valley Golf Club
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 and undulating fairways. The subsoil is predominantly chalk and this provides excellent drainage conditions. The tees and greens have been built to the most modern specifications and this ensures no temporary tees at any time of the year. As the course if young, the landscaping still needs time to mature, but 30,000 gorse and broom plants have been imported and this enhances the feel of a seaside links. Since opening, improvements have been made. Additional bunkers have been added and four new back tees have been built. This is part of a long term plan to improve the course.
18 holes. Par 69. 6211 yards. Links-style Parkland.Contact Information

Rated 4 by Ian L onGolf course review of Southern Valley Golf Club
Played this course today, we was delayed an hour teeing off due to the heavy frost (obviously unavoidable). We paired up with 2 members so we could try and keep moving and avoiding the slow play although a society in front of us were extremely slow making us wait on every tee.
now to the course as a whole, with its location on the thames estuary the sea breeze keeps the course very dry and generally in good condition. We played all main greens and tees. the only downfall we found with the course was the tee boxes were not defined very well just looked like they were placed on the fairway no manicured area. The clubhouse although very new has no character and whoever designed the layout needs shooting, there is no welcoming entrance you walk straight into a corridor with a few doors off that lead to the bar, toilets and proshop (I say proshop more like a cupboard were you pay your greenfee).
Saying all that we will return for the golf as the course is challenging and in good condition and the Pro was helpful and apologetic for any dely

Booked two tee times online but when I got to the club I was told that they hadn't been booked with the club but the pro shop staff were excellent and managed to get us a tee-time close to the ones I thought I'd booked. The course was in good condition considering the time of the year and the greens were in excellent condition.
