Running parallel to the A27 which lies in a cutting below the bushes to the right. The course was opened in the early 1990s using some of the fairways vacated by the West Hove Golf Club which relocated to a new course north of the newly opened by-pass which had been built through part of that course along with a link road. Benfield Valley Golf Course has nine holes, five south of A27 and four north of it. Valley is a bit of a misnomer here as this hole is on the southern part of Benfield Hill which was also split in two by the by-pass.
