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."

Too slow

After playing front nines(Our tee time was 12:08pm), we were surprised to see people waiting on 10th hall. We passed 10, 11,....Then decided to quit. There was no marshall.....Kids were playing in 6 somes......

If you want play, you better start early morning and finishes around noon. Otherwise, it will be very stressful for the delay....

Oak Valley in Winter

Keeping your mind on golf is near impossible with the overall beauty of this course. The snow capped mountains and lots' of wildlife to keep you thinking why you love golf so much anyway? The fairways are dormant but still are tight and the greens fast and true. Oak Valley is a must play for any avid golfer.

Nice day

Great course, I didn't realize it is layed out so beautifully. Each hole has a flair and challenge like no other course in this region. Luckily I was driving the ball well today, the length of this course is surprisingly long. The white tee felt like blue Tee's at other courses. I rate this course a must play.

Hidden Gem

Lets start off by saying that the staff here is friendly! First time coming out here and let me just say that this course is a hidden gem in beaumont. The course has so much character and everything about OV is a blast. Was expecting a mediocre course but everything about OV is awesome! The price is so fair and course conditions are extremely good. Tee boxes are little chewy but other than that this course is wonderful. Will be returning very soon and hopefully will shoot a better score.. course knowledge is key, so dont get disappointed on your first trip out here. #honestandtruthful

Oak Valley GC

Cooler weather today made for a nice afternoon of golf. The green's have been aerated with the small slash cut, but the green's we're still rolling ok. It's nearing fall and the club seems to be getting ready for overserr/renovation. All in all still a great place to play.

Excellent!! The course was in very good condition. Although the greens were a little slow (about a 9), they were beautiful. The best condition that the course has been in since I played it the first time.

Still Nice - But Not What It Used to Be

I have been playing this course since shortly after it opened. While the greens are still very nice, the rest of the course has slowly deteriorated over the years. The tees are getting uneven, and the sand traps are inconsistent. But the worst part are the fairways. The grass in the fairways is getting thin, with weeds and other types of grass growing in everywhere. There were at least a half dozen times where my ball came to rest in the middle of the fairway, but I had a bad lie. A variety of grasses, weeds, and thin areas create uneven turf conditions - which results in frequent poor lies in the fairways. This is a great layout and could be a 5 star course. And it is still one of the nicest courses in the area. But it needs a cash infusion to bring it back to what it was.

Don't waste your time

Play this as a qualifier course for the Toshiba Classic. Worst course every played on that was suppose to be used for qualifying; wouldn't even book a regular round here. Although the greens were fairly good, the fairways were trashed and had excavating equipment around the course; very uninspiring and not worth the time. Keep driving down the road to better courses.
