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
great course
This is one of my favorite courses always have a fun challenging round love the layout!!
Oak valley
Greta time the winds make the course even more challenging especially with the elevation changes on some of the holes . Fairways are decent, greens are in decent shape the rough is thick
The tee box greens are well maintained, but the fairways are a mess. The course layout is good.
Oak valley
Very windy adding to the challenge my chief complaint if any is just for other players to fix there divits . Overall condition of the green are nice fairways decent but anywhere OB and your probably taking a drop .
Used to be great
This used to be a destination golf course. They have maintained the greens but let the rest go. This course has a great, fun to play layout but they have let it all grow over. Running super thin staffing, no bar.
Pricey for conditions
There's no bev cart. the fairways are terrible at the moment have been for awhile. Pace was pretty good and the Tee boxes and greens are great.
80 bucks for a weekend round for the conditions is rough.
Poor conditions and no amenities
So sad as this used to be a great course. $80 to play and the only thing good was the greens. Fairways you had to move your ball to get a good lie and grass to hit on and rough was mostly non existent. No restaurant anymore in the clubhouse and no cart girl. Not worth the money at all. Will not play again.
Downhill Slide
This once-beautiful course has deteriorated. The difficult greens are pristine, for sure. But the fairways are truly bad, dried-out, arid grass with thousands of pock marks of green, lumpy surface. Gotta play winter rules and just be satisfied with placing your ball. And the vegetation along the fairways and around the tees has just been trimmed long ago and ignored. Dead, smelly and ugly. But the real problem is the cost. It's way higher than even better courses in this area, and that's why pace of play is rated so well. The restaurant is closed. The course has lost tons of customers. The staff, God bless them, are really great folks. But this has all the appearance of a course that is hanging on by a thread as long as possible, soon to be out of business and maybe sold to developers. Too bad.
The course has suffered some real winter damage on the fairways. It is in very rough shape with all the cold weather and snow that Southern California has recently received. I love the layout of this course and hope that it can be brought back to the condition that it deserves to be kept in.
Fair course but expensive
This is a typical course in this area, meaning it plays like every other underfunded municipal tract. Crappy lies, no sand in bunkers, etc. It is overpriced. There was nobody there, so pace of play was the only good thing about it. It is a good place to play a practice round if you get a great price on a hot deal.
