About
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."

Golfer Reviews
68
What an awesome course, thank you for the well kept masterpiece. The T-box needs a little love but the fairways, greens and over all mystic was well maintained. Shot a 68 and couldn’t ask for a better conditioned course to play. Slight wind helped keep it cool during the summer.
Thank you
Great condition
The course is in amazing condition and ready for all to enjoy the most peaceful round!
Greens are pure and course a real challenge
A great golfing experience
Driving by this golf course many times finally got chance to play it today. Staffs are friendly, course condition is perfect, pace is adequate, rangers are watching the flow. A great course and I will definitely play here again!
Very accommodating
There was a big youth tournament preceding our tee time. Paul, the pro, adapted our time, told us we could play front nine twice if play was slow. Checked on us, really helpful and kind.
Course in Great Shape
It had been awhile since I played Oak Valley and I was very pleased with the course condition. Great fairways and the greens were great, although I bit slower than I remember.. 3 hours for a late Friday tee time can't be beat, although we did play through 2 slow groups.
My favorite local golf course
Play with my wife for my birthdaY. Our favorite course near us to play. Fun and interesting to play.
Course is very challenging
The pace of play is very good which allows for a better golfing experience.
Excellent Staff
Oak Valley must have the best staff in all of SoCal
From Paul the pro, Bryce at check in, the starters, the marshals, the cart guys and the groundskeeper (course is fantastic)
Thank you all very much
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.
Really nice course, good layout, and excellent fast greens. Can’t wait to play it again.
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.
