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."

Hidden Gem

Place is unreal. Can’t figure out why I haven’t come here sooner. Doesn’t feel like you are in a desert, very lush. Awesome layout. Amazing course condition. Set our own pace of play (done in 4 hours without any urgency).

Not worth the money

We’ve lived in the area for a while and have played golf “sparingly”over the years. Recently my sons and I have taken up golf as a bonding hobby. The positives here are the carts have nice seats and have small ice chest to store waters or beers. They even provide ice for you. Snack bar prices were pretty reasonable. Got 2 waters and 2 beers for $12. Negatives are club house seemed like a ghost town. Half of it is blocked off and looks abandoned. We played here mid day on a weekend and didn’t see the cart girl once! The course has some challenging holes but the conditions weren’t great. And honestly for the price to play here, you can go across the freeway to play at Tukwet for a cheaper price and nicer overall facilities.

Best bang for your buck

A $65 green fee at Oak Valley is unmatched in the Inland Empire for the quality and rigorous course you’ll experience

I love the course but a bit disappointed at the bunker and fairway conditions. Overdue for some much needed maintenance.

Used to be one of my favorites

The course is definitely not how it used to be kept up. Everything looks run down and not as nice looking as I remember. The course set up is the same and challenging and still fun to play. The prices have always been pretty high for the course. I’ll stick to playing it once or twice a year. Too many other courses that are in better shape for the $$$

Nice Course

Course is in goo shape. The course is in good shape, greens are in great condition. Really enjoyed the course and the set up. There was no one at the course. Just an incredible day at the golf course. There are some areas that are in bad shape, but for the value it is a great course and you won't be disappointed.

coming along nicely

Oak Valley has always been in our playing rotation. We drive past many other courses to play here. Don’t understand the bad reviews about a restaurant not being open or a cart girl not being available, that’s never really a factor for our group, we care more about the course and pace.

Highlight of our round was the Marshal Greg being present on the course and asking us as paying customers if there’s anything they can do to improve. That’s everything this day and age! Service goes a long long way! Kudos to Greg.

Can the rough be cut back a little? Sure. Have the fairways been more lush in the past? Sure. What gives this course it’s character is the isolating feel of each hole. No teebox is near another green (maybe 2&3 but that’s it). And the fact you need to hit fairways to avoid the thick rough. Course is fun, never seems overcrowded (I’d maybe space out tee times 10 min apart rather than 8) and we were impressed with Greg the marshal. Will be back soon
