Spring Valley Golf Club
Spring Valley
Spring Valley Golf Club is one of those underrated golf courses located in the middle of the Melbourne Sandbelt. It is not a course that you may have heard about (compared to its famous neighbours like Royal Melbourne, Kingston Heath and The Metropolitan), but enjoys the pleasure of playing on a course borne out of the same terrain. This is what makes Spring Valley even more alluring. Founded in 1948 the club has quietly gone about its business by providing the members with ever improving facilities. The golf course is home to a huge variety of bird life and its immaculate greens and fairways and signature bunkering contribute to 'The Valley's' rating as one of the top courses in Victoria. It is a fine example of the work of Vern Morcom the son of Mick, the famous constructor who put all of Alister Mackenzie's work on the ground in Melbourne. Spring Valley is a true test of golf and features gentle undulations, much like Kingston Heath which is just down the road. The holes demand well shaped shots from the tees and the irons to the flags must be played with precision. From the time you drive in the new sweeping driveway and up to the multi million dollar new clubhouse which sits atop the 9th and 18th greens you will enjoy your day at Spring Valley.
