Really enjoyed our round at Southern Valley. An authentic links style course with undulating fairways, big greens, pot bunkers and many blind shots into greens due to the mounds if you’re not careful. Really great challenge. The course was in good condition - greens were moderate speed. All of the par 3s are great. Play was fast - we got round in just over 3 hours which is very rare (our morning tee time - 9-20am - probably helped in that respect). Good practice facilities and friendly staff in the club house.

Our first time playing the course. Wonderful setting in beautiful Kent countryside. All staff are very friendly and helpful. The course was in excellent condition. Many excellent holes - 4-9 were highlights for me as well as the 16th and 18th. Definitely will be back soon!

We were slightly concerned with the reports of slow play in the reviews, but for the most part we didn’t have any problems albeit things became a bit congested from 14 and a couple of 4 ball groups let us play through. The course has some lovely holes, especially 2, 9 (into a green in front of the club house over water), 11 (a lovely short downhill par 3), 15 (a good chance to drive this hole with a well hit drive from the tee), and the feature 18th hole over the water in front of the clubhouse. Some holes are less good - 10 in particular which is a long uphill par 5 but with a huge tree obstructing shots to the green even from a good approach shot which seems unfair. All in all, a good course and in excellent condition. 8/10
