Upchurch River Valley Golf Centre
Oak Lane, Upchurch, Sittingbourne, Kent, ME9 7AY United Kingdom
The course is constructed on one hundred & twenty acres of very well drained undulating parkland course, the higher part having clear views of the River Medway and Thames Estuary.The North Course
There are some very interesting holes to play to create very exciting rounds of golf from the long rolling 4th to the well laid out 14th finishing over the lake in front of the green. The 18th as the last but not least, you will remember 'River Valley' with its long undulating approach to the 18th green right outside the clubhouse.
The short 9 hole course has six par 4 and you may go round twice. The perfect course for those who enjoy the short game and of course for those learning the game of golf.
The long south course is for the longer striker. Three par 5, three par 4 & three par 3. The 8th hole being the longest at 623 yards, a more level course but all in pristine condition. Book a Tee Time

Shame about the weather but made for an interesting day. Course was in great condition could have done with a warning about temp greens as did not realise the 9th was until I got round the corner. Otherwise excellent considering the weather.

Very hilly course wasn't helped by obvious regulars moaning that due to us being a three ball we was holding up play when we was keeping up with the group infront of us, very rude and uncalled for would not recommend and would not pplay again not worth playing if the buggies are not allowed out

Greens well kept, but fairways are like concrete in the summer.
Fairways are open, but some well placed hazards make the approach shots interesting.
I would say the course is too hilly.
Nice clubhouse though.

Very challenging and enjoyable course to play. Very hilly with many blind shots onto greens. Very good conditions all round even with the snow. Weekend prices reasonable, and mid-week prices very good in my opinion. Par 3 11th is a superb hole and both the 9th and 18th very challenging dropping down to the clubhouse.

An excellent and challenging course well worth the visit. The course was well maintained and very picturesque.
The facilities are very good and include a driving range, putting green and even a specialist chipping green along with a swimming pool.
The only downside I came across was the quality of a small number of the clientele, once they were the salt of the earth, now they are known as chavs. While I was stood in the carpark puting my clubs away I had to endure the smell of a number of people sat in a large van covered in "bling" smoking weed. It spoilt what had been a particularly enjoyable day.

A good test for high handicappers. greens had just been spiked so putting was a bit of a lottery.
Food in club house is excellent.
Worth a visit.

This is my local course and great value for money. This club has an excellent range of facilities, including a nice driving range, weekly junior lessons for a fiver, good bar and nice food (if you like Parsley).
I haven't played many courses, so from my limited experience I think this course is in good condition with nice fairways and well kept greens.
It is a mature course with plenty of greenery to loose your ball in, but the rough is also well kept and there are no stinging nettles or other nasty weeds to make getting your balls back a bigger pain than necessary
As per other comments, the front 9 are very hilly and the back 9 fairly flat, so a good range of challenges to the skill and fitness for any level of amateur player. I find the greens quite open with little protection from bunkers and there are only a couple of water hazards.
IMHO, I don't think the course is 'dangerous' - no more so than any other course where amateurs' balls are flying from one fairway to another (including my own)!
My rating: well worth a visit!
