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."

Downhill slide

Pro shop closed/ restaurant closed/ course maintenance not where it used to be. This should all be stated when on a booking site. The few staff remaining were nice and doing their best! Greens were actually pretty good.

Superb Course Design

My wife and I really enjoyed this course yesterday. It is anything but flashy compared to the Coachella Valley courses, including no restaurant or pro-shop. Even the course conditions away from the fairway are a bit rough. But the design of the course and the superb greens (soft and fast) make the course really enjoyable. The course allows one to hit driver on every tee, yet there is always a preferred side of the fairway to be on as there are some really interesting green complexes. The fairways played firm and fast and the rough was not thick, except by the greens. The electric carts were top notch. There was also a grass range, albeit with the range balls costing extra. All in all, it was a great experience and super good value.

Oak Valley

Rode the Blues (6829/72.7/136) with FirstFlight FX-101 in 4.5H playing behind a 4some. Thanks to Chuck for a fun afternoon. $55 w/cart is their twilight rate. Weather clear, fairly calm and in the mid 80's.

Playing conditions very playable. This layout would be really challenging to walk as numerous tees are a long way from the last green.

Tees had decent coverage and were mostly well maintained but several could use leveling.

Fairways were decent, firm with good coverage.

Rough mostly lush, several inches deep and thick. Lost ball rough unless you are right on top of it.

Sand traps nicely maintained with brown sand. The bunkers I was in/around I would have considered good "but for" the many rocks in them.

Large, undulating green complexes are challenging. Firm, they were mostly smooth and putted medium fast.

No drink cart out, the Marshall was out patrolling. Friendly starter and the check-in was efficient. No GPS on the basic carts. All grass driving range was a +. Nice course in above average condition, recommended.
