Spring Valley Golf Club: "The Valley" as it is often called, doesn't contain too many valley-like characteristics of its own, being predominantly a flattish layout. The modern clubhouse does however occupy slightly higher ground than the rest of the course, providing for a gently sloping downhill opening par-4, and an equally good uphill closing hole with an elevated green. Throughout you'll find impressively large bunkers, pleasantly tree-lined fairways and good firm greens. On the par-4 13th water also makes a brief appearance. The interest quotient is perhaps not as high as on some of Melbourne's better known and more undulating courses and the neighbouring land-fill disposal site may also occasionally be noticed. Overall, however, this is a good layout, demanding adroit course management to card a good score.
