Oi Lee. I was a member there a few years ago.

Played the Hill a lot, the Valley less often as it's often booked up. It's more popular because it's a fair bit prettier, but the two courses almost overlap in a couple of places. It costs more to play the Valley and it's a harder course with more hazards - a fair bit of water and out-of-bounds areas. But then that makes it a bit more fun.
The Hill is good for a whack as there are one or two areas you can let rip without too much fear of losing a ball or 5. On the 18th on a good day, which is a par 4, you can almost drive the green. I quite like the Hill but on a sunny day you can get a bit red.
