SVGC Over 60's Section - SENE VALLEY GOLF CLUB

Sene Valley (Men) Over 60s Section

Welcome to Sene Valley GC (Men) Over 60’s Section!

Our Club is situated on the hills overlooking Hythe Town, and our stunning course gives golfers a fantastic view across the English Channel to France. We are a very friendly club where we play both competitive and social golf.

Our competitions are usually held on Monday mornings throughout the year, with Stableford and Medal formats in a mix of singles and pairs events.

Our social golf is normally played on Monday (where we don't have a competition taking place), Wednesday and Friday mornings, and host regular friendly roll ups starting from 7.30am on these days.

In the summer months, we play friendly matches against many other local Clubs, and have two League teams - our Kent Golf Veterans (60+) Team, and our Kent Super Seniors (Over 70’s) Team - who have achieved a wealth of success in recent years (more information below!).

In August we run a very popular Over 60’s Open Invitational Competition, which attracts people from clubs across the South of England come to Sene Valley for a fabulous day of golf.
