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."

No frills but great.

I loved Oak Valley. Nothing fancy. Just a good golf course. The worst thing I could say is that the tee boxes could use a little work and if that’s the most you have to complain about then you’re in pretty good shape.

Best in area

A very friendly course with a great layout that challenges golfers of all levels with beautiful landscapes, good bunkering and undulating greens. The type of course where you can wind up using every club in your bag. The afternoon breeze brings an additional element to play which continues to engage to the point that when you get to the 18 th hole you wonder where the round went. What a great afternoon of golf!

Kirk c.

I last played this course in the early 90’s. Just opened. Amazed it is still there. The greens were fast and none were flat so you had to have just the right speed. Great shape and consistent. Worth the price.

Oak Valley

The layout is nice, however, the course needs some maintenance. This course used to be well-taken care of with nice fairways and greens. There are bald spots on fairways and some patches on the greens.

Is properly cause of the pandemic there's not enough personnel to take care of the course.

Time to get some grass planted

This is such a great track. Really nothing else compares in the IE. It’s too bad they have let the conditions go so far in the wrong direction. If they can grow grass around the greens they can grow it in the fairways and on the tees. Shame on management for not overseeding. At least they are starting to get sand back in the bunkers and the snack bar is back open. Time to spend some of that money you have made during the pandemic when golf boomed. Please also clean up the spaces in between the geeens and the next tees. Disgraceful to see so many weeds and gophers taking over.
