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 Golf Course

That course was in nice condition. Fairly challenging and fairly high rough. Staying in the fairway was key to scoring there. Fairly deep rough to hit out of.

In great shape

It's been a while since I have seen the course in this great of shape. The rains really made the course beautiful and playable. The greens rolled true and looked really good. Will definitely continue to play here if it stays in this shape.

Great course to test your overall game

Always loved this course and especially the greens. Hands down the best greens for a public course the fairways are slowly getting more green and full and the rough is rough. Always recommend this course to everyone.

It is what we got.

About as good as you will get for a public course in the Inland Empire....once a jewel now somewhat less spectacular....lack of fairway over seed the last few years has left fairways with more bare spots then years past...greens still very nice some even have nice aprons around them...hope they are using some chemicals on the Bermuda Grass fairways so they will fill in and green up in the next couple months....

Goat track not worth the drive or money!!

Tried this based on other reviews (really???!!!) and what a disappointment. There is no grass on most fairways, no marshal lead to a 5 hour round. Poor support (both water tanks empty, when I reported it after 9 found 3 guys sitting in the pro shop doing nothing!!) Had to laugh at the 90 degree rule for carts, to protect the weeds??? OK lay out with potential but someone has to bring some management and money to this or it will likely die. Played Terra Largo next day, 10 times better course and less money!!

Good day, good course.

Friendly staff, great layout, fast & smooth greens, fairways typical and playable. They will only get better I think. Wind made it really challenging but really fair.

I enjoyed the course very much! Will be back.

Can be a tough course. Some undulating fairways that can be a challenge. Played here for many years and the course is always well maintained. Can be windy and cold, but like the terminator....”I’ll be back”

Slow and the staff don't care

Course is not in great shape except greens are great. Pace of slow terrible and the pro shop staff just shrug and say their marshall has gone home (1pm!) Nothing to drink, restaurant/bar closed. Not returning in a hurry

This course has so much potential. The layout is wonderful, greens were excellent and every hole is surrounded by beautiful scenery. My only negative comment would be the condition of the fairways. Being from Canada I don't understand how water rights work in drought stricken California but I can see this course isn't getting its fair share (by choice or not I have no idea). If they watered and cut more this would be a stellar course. I hope they work on it. It's still worth your time and money in spite of the fairways. I will try it again next visit.

course conditions

This course could be a real gem. The layout is very interesting and scenic but the fairways and rough were in horrible shape. Greens were good but unmowed grass everywhere and holes and missing grass all over fairways.the course needs much more attention by greenskeepers. If some more money was spent on conditions it could be one of the best courses in the valley.

Tremendous

Incredible value at less than $50 during the weekday. I love the greens here as they’re always kept in meticulous shape and the speed is blazing quick.

Seen better days ...

Looked forward to playing Oak Valley as friends had spoken highly of it in the past. I guess watering restrictions and a lack of traffic has taken their toll on the financial viability of the club. The course was in terrible condition. Fairways grass was spotty at best. Really a shame as the layout was quite good. Seems like a real waste of a good track. Pace of play was good as no one was on the course.

Nice layout. Friendly Pro shop

Cold, cold day. Asian groups ahead joined up, played as a 7 ball! Could have used a marshall! They destroyed the bunkers, left divots and pitch mark's, etc. We had to drive on by, and skip a hole. Zero course ethics! We loved the course, and staff but with this kind of clientele, we'll play elsewhere in future.
