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."

Horrible pace of play management

I started at 2 with a 4some in front of me. I let them go ahead as I was eating my late lunch and knew I wanted to wait a bit until I was finished. After I passed them on 3, i ran into nobody until 9 and they were almost to the green. As I finished 9 and went to 10 I was waiting on a single and he had his daughter. So after waiting I finished and went to 11 where I saw them fishing for balls out of the lake while I waited on tee box for 10 mins. After going to 12 I ran into them where they joined another group. Before waiting more I asked if I could go through and was met with some hostility from that group. I argued I was a single and didn't care who was in front of them as I would be quicker than them anyway. After arguing for another 10 mins I went through and met 4 GROUPS ON THE NEXT HOLE. and the next hole WAS ANOTHER 2! I skipped those 2 holes and said forget it as My focus was already slipping waiting so long. This course used to have pretty respectful individuals and now the need for a marshal is definitely needed for the entire day it seems. Wont be coming back or recommending until they manage the hacks out there playing their course.

First time

First time playing here the driving range was in great shape. Nice to hit off a real grass course layout is just awesome. Can’t believe I waited so long to play here. The snack bar was opened. The pro shop is open, but not much to choose from. That’s OK though Can’t emphasize how much I liked the layout of the course the greens have so much on relation burns trash just makes it really fun to play. The greens were coming back. They still had a lot of punch marks, but not bad in a couple of weeks. the greens are going to be phenomenal , if they get a car girl out there with some beverages, this place will be dynamite

Lack of pacing

I paid 40 for a round of 18. Front nine went smoothly and only ran into a group on 9. I was playing as a single all round and I ran into that same group from 9 on 10. It was a father and his daughter and so i let them finish 10 and Then caught up to them on 11. While waiting on the tee box watching them tee off on the par 3, I saw the guy was fishing out balls and had brought his kid and was letting her hit. I waited about 10 min for them to leave the hole and thought for sure I would get let past on the next. When i got to the next hole I asked to get let through and the guy on the previous hole was with another guy and his friend made a big deal about it and gave me attitude saying there's groups ahead of him. I told him Well I'm single so can I please go through. This went on for about 5 min back and forth. As I finished the hole onto the par 5 there was 2 groups waiting on the tee box, a group in the fairway and another on the green. In total, there was about 6 or 7 groups clustered over 2 holes... Been playing there for about 6 or 7 years and its been getting really bad lately on the pace of play. They should have a marshal out or someone directing players because 6 or 7 groups should not be clustered over a span of 2 holes at 4 in the afternoon... And certainly shouldn't be getting hassled for wanting to pass as a single whos playing the tips and everyone is hitting from whites...

Didn't know the greens were punched

The layout of the course is fantastic. However, no one told us that the greens were punched. I wish Golf Now had noted that before we drove an hour just to play there

On Safari in Beaumont

I really enjoyed the Tranquil Feeling of the Course once we were away from the Holes next to Interstate 10. The Greens were in Very good condition, and Fast!! Great layout of the holes. For a midweek round the pace of play was a little slow.

Beautiful course

Gorgeous views and course was in great condition except a few fairways did not have enough grass making it challenging to hit a wood.

Beautiful views. I would definitely recommend this course!

No restaurant open

Staff was very friendly and offered me a ride to my car which I appreciated..

A Nice Surprise

On friendly advice, took a chance on a lengthy commute out from Coachella Valley but happily well worth it! Lots of elevation changes (if you’re ok with that), a little rough here and there, nice layout and good greens, new lithium powered carts, nice staff and really good value. Only complaint was no restaurant/bar as shown on website. Once again thank you Golf Pass!
