LOOK, LISTEN, LEARN | Raking Bunkers

Where should you place the rake after you’ve finished raking a bunker at Spring Valley Golf Club?

At Spring Valley Golf Club, good course etiquette plays an important role in maintaining the quality of the course and the experience enjoyed by all golfers.

As part of our new Look, Listen, Learn series, we’ve produced a collection of short videos highlighting some of the important practices that contribute to the care, presentation and enjoyment of the course.

Our first video focuses on raking bunkers – including how to rake correctly and where the rake should be placed when you’re finished.

We invite you to watch and learn more.

Spring Valley’s greatest strength lies in its routing’s ability to keep golfers engaged with a relentless run of high-quality golf. Holes are routed in a number of triangular loops, keeping the golfer constantly off balance as they switch directions, whilst swathes of short grass connect greens with tees making for a seamless stroll.

There is an admirable simplicity to its strategy as it tests with an assortment of doglegs whereby golfers prepared to take on the fairway bunkers find themselves rewarded with a clean angle of approach, whilst those who bail out face an approach contested by greenside bunkers and slippery run-offs. Though simple in theory, when paired with firm and fast conditions, Spring Valley’s strategic consistency and variety of questions posed from tee to green spawns a very strong spread of two-shot holes. Thoughtful and considered golf is rightfully rewarded, but the carrot for the daring is always dangled near a looming hazard.

First frost of the year. ❄️⛳
A crisp autumn morning has transformed the course into a white blanket of frost, one of those rare scenes that reminds us just how special early mornings at Spring Valley can be.

Despite Spring Valley’s persistent quality of par fours, its diverse set of one-shotters will likely live longest in the memory of the travelling golfer. Spread evenly throughout the layout, each of the quartet asks for completely different shots.

Whilst the cute but nasty tenth and its postage stamp green will steal the headlines, the uphill fifth commanding a sweeping draw and long fourteenth which begs for a ball on the ground make an excellent pair of running mates.
