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, Beaumont CA

Staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Course is in very good shape. Too bad many players weren’t fixing their divots on the greens. Otherwise another great day.

Beautiful course

I played with my friends this morning at 6:30 and the course was in amazing shape with well maintained fairways and greens and is definitely worth the money.

one of my favorite golf courses

I really enjoy this track cut out of the rolling hills in the Beaumont Ca. area... the nearby homes are for the most part away from the golf course which is nice... the greens are very good, though a little challenging to read and occasionally a little bumpy but not that bad... I would really like Oak Valley to get back to a twilight discount in the afternoon of $35 or less... they're asking $45 which for this time of year and the courses that I can play is a little steep but maybe not that out of line... overall I can recommend this golf course as a good value and a fun challenging test of golf.

Course in great shape

If the golfers would take a moment and fix their divots on the greens I’d have given this course the highest ratings. Greens do roll great and fairways are in great shape. Concessions need to be brought back to normal and this course would be operating like it was before the Covid pandemic.

First time, Great time

Pace of play was good, never had to wait too long, was playing as a single until 15th hole, finished in about 3 1/2 hrs.

Course conditions were good. Fairways were a little dry which gave me massive roll and 10 yards more on my avg drive. Did not notice any major bare patches. Greens were also good with some a tad hard and some the ball stopped fine. Starter told me greens running quick, did not listen ,my ball found back of a few greens using normal distances. Like the layout not to penal on off center fairway hits, a lot of blind landing areas, and few forced carries. Many well placed bunkers that luckily only found myself in one greenside, which was not in great shape. I will play this course again in near future.

Top 10 course in I.E.

I'm coming from Yucaipa (just a ten minute drive west of this course) and I must say THIS course is the best within 30 miles of my home. I recommend this course. Great track, beautiful scenery, great fairways, greens, and teeboxes. This has been my "home" course for almost two years now. It is worth the drive ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy your future round here.

Sincerely,

A satisfied customer.

Good Conditions

Course conditions were very good. I played Oak Valley 2-3 times a month (Prior to Covid19) and the course was in better shape that most times I played here. Fairways tend to get a little thin during the summer heat , but were in very nice condition - probably due to the amount of rain and lack of play over the last month or two. (Staff also did a god job.) Balls rolled nicely on the greens. It's little weird watching putts hit the stick and bounce a way a few inches due to the modified cup/stick. Nothing like reaching into the hole to retrieve your ball after sinking a 12ft birdie as opposed to picking up your birdie a few inches from the hole. Pace of play was good.

A real test

Its simple. Wide fairways for tee shots but quickly narrow for some challenging approach shots. Sand everywhere with very hilly terrain not to mention nothing but trouble when you miss a fairway can make for a long day.

None the less its a lot of fun to play

Unspoiled and unpretentious, challenging but fair

Its a lovely layout, seldom see other golfers, fast pace, faster greens. Fairways are a bit scruffy but so are the ones at St Andrews. Just a lovely place to play golf. Check the weather forecast before booking though, its cooler and windier in Beaumont. Great value, will definitely play there again.
