About
This course used to be considered a hidden gem. Now, Oak Valley Golf Course in Beaumont is an off-the-beaten-path known reasonable joy. Stopping on the way from Los Angeles to Palm Springs for a golf detour is no fool's play. Not with the fast greens, dramatic elevation changes and swerving fairways available at Oak Valley in Beaumont.
A Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley design, Oak Valley is probably best known for greens that are anything but desert typical. Speed is the name of the game here, with a tap sometimes too much on a downhill putt.
Recognition does not travel that quickly. It took a decade for Oak Valley to get a four star rating from Golf Digest. Once it did, Beaumont suddenly became a golf stopping spot on the Palm Springs express. Now, you're considered a smart golfer if you linger on the way to Palm Springs.
"It's a nice getaway from the crowds in the desert, as well as some of the other, more populated golf areas," head pro Scott Arnold said. "It's almost like being in the country. No houses line the fairways. Each hole is different. And because of the way it's laid out, you often can't even see another hole from the one you're playing."

Oak Valley back 9 Photo submitted by VICRAZ7 on 12/09/2013
Horrible pace of play. 5 and half hours
Overbooked and it took 5 and 1/2 hours to complete 18 holes. Practically waited on every shots and every tee box which took away any enjoyment of golf imaginable. For this reason I can't recommend this golf course. The course itself is in decent shape bunkers need TLC but greens and fairways are decent. Rough itself is rough. A lot of gopher holes.
Great course
Love playing here! Starter is always cracking jokes. Only complaint is the round was 5.5 hours other than that I’ll be back
Oak Valley is challenging but fair.
Great layout with variety of holes. Well worth the time effort to play this course.
Stall was exceptionally friendly. Cheers

One of the reasons we choice this golf course was because of Golf Now rating of 41/2 rating.
Did not come close to that rating.
Good course
Overall a fun course. It could use some work on the ruff and overall green of course. The overall layout is great with different elevation changes and challenging shots on every hole.
Zero course management
We had a tee time booked for 11:10am, when we arrived to check in at 10:40, we were told that it would be a "10 minute delay max" due to 5 groups of 4 teeing off just now. What we were not told is that they added those groups onto the already booked tee times. Meaning... when our delayed tee time rolled around, it was 4 on the green, 4 on the fairway, 4 teeing off, us waiting and a group right behind us. As you can guess, the groups merged up after the 3rd hole and there were 10+ putting at one time. We called the club house to complain, they didn't send anyone out. We played 4 holes in 2 hours and decided to leave. Don't bother playing here, I was telling the starter that he just put us behind a 6 hour round, he denied it, I was probably underestimating the time it would take.
general
Excellent greens & fairways. Wish bunkers had real sand instead of dirt, but playable. Lots of ground squirrel mounds in roughs. Fantastic, challenging layout. No marshalling so pace of play could be improved (mostly if players would play appropriate tees for skill level.
