It is pay and play so accesible for non members, the greens are in good nick, the front 9 holes are a real mix of long, short, up hill, downhill and give a good challenge. In my opinion holes 10 thru 12 are prettty average but it picks up again with 15 and 16 particularly difficult and good fun to play

Good all round facilities. Nice driving range, decent course, just a shame about the Sunday boot…read morefairs that make it a nightmare to get in or out of on a Sunday morning.

This is one of two golf courses in Gravesend. Southern Valley Golf Course is by far the cheapest…read more 18 holes cost £16.50 for non members but you do have the option to pay and play nine holes. It is £10 after 2.30pm during the winter (between 1st October and 1st March)There are membership options but we do not use the course often enough to benefit. The course at the moment is in quite good condition. It is a link style course so is exposed to the elements (wind e.t.c). It is quite a hilly course which makes it more challenging. The rough in not too severe at the moment. I can recommend this course to beginners and experienced golfers.

I am not actually reviewing the golf club here but more the wedding facilitys. We had our wedding…read morehere in May this year and we couldnt have asked for a nicer day. Apart from the weathe being fantastic the day was made beautiful by the staff at Top Meadows. The day went 100% to plan and was so chep compared to other places we had viewed. The man who ran it had so much time for us and made sure we had everything we needed to make the day go swimmingly. The food was magnificent and everybody commented on how lovely it was. The views were fantastic and we got some great photographs because the views here are so beatiful. It is definately a great place to have your wedding.

I can't review the golf club side of Top Meadow, but it does look like a lovely place to play golf…read more However, My family had booked a table at the restaurant for a rare get together on the occasion of my mothers 80th birthday. . On arrival I wasn't really too impressed with the cramped seating arrangement around our table, or the close proximity of the other tables, but it was my mothers 80th birthday and we all wanted her to enjoy her night as she had been looking forward to this for many months. Well, with everyone at their place It soon became obvious that my initial worries were only half right. There was barely enough room to squeeze through between tables and at one point it looked like the only place for my 7 month old grand daughter to sleep in her push chair, was going to be outside with the gnats. The serving staff did their best to work in the overbooked floor space, and as the evening progressed they seemed to suffer the brunt of most of the complaints. We sat for 70, yes, SEVENTY minutes, waiting for our first course. The soup that I had ordered some four months earlier was reasonable. Another HOUR passed before the main course arrived, among the confusion of who ordered what, and passing plates around the table I had eaten my duck before a side dish of vegetables arrived. I had really lost interest by the time the option to choose from the sweet trolly came, and I just chose and ate for the sake of it. My Mother put a brave face on the whole night, but I know how she was feeling inside. A member from our party joined a queue to have a say with the manager, and at the end of the settlement, he waived the 10% service charge and gave us some free wine. But I doubt that made my mum feel a whole lot better. The food was ok, the staff tried their best. But it kind of felt to me like I was just another bum on a seat, crammed into a greedy restaurant where profit comes a long way before quality of service. And finally, I have issues of a professional nature. It was obvious to me that the health and safety concerns of the general public were not being taken very seriously. Too many tables too many chairs, not enough access to fire escapes is only the beginning. 15/8/11 .. As an update, Top meadow has been in contact with my mother, offering her some more free wine if she books another table in the restaurant . They lay blame for the evenings events on staff shortage in the kitchen. This to me is just further insult. Firstly a few cheap bottles of house wine is of very little interest to my parents, both in their 80s and non drinkers. And this only if they spend more money. Secondly, this had very little to do with staff shortages and everything to do with overbooking. My mother booked her birthday party back in March. It was ruined by greedy management, not kitchen staff.

Dart Forward is what you do when someone is chasing you. Unfortunately Dartford FC have not managed…read moreto Dart Forward in the league standings too much. They were formed in the late 1800s but are outside the football league at the moment in the Conference Premier. First-Hand Experience: I've seen them play away from home once (at a club in Kent), and I've yet to watch a game at their new home stadium although I've been there 4-5 times. They have a surprisingly loud fan base and a really wonderful home stadium. I respect them a lot and give them a 4 out of 5. Dartford is East of London, in Kent, and right next to the M25 where it goes under the Thames, with the Dartford Bridge and Tunnel being what the town is most famous for. They play in a nice new stadium and their home kit is white. Their stadium Princes Park holds 4,100 people. It's an environmentally friendly stadium. Good luck to them. Yay Dartford :)
