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
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.
Appropriately priçed
I have played Oak Valley every year for the last 4 years and have enjoyed it each year. The range is well laid out and allows for a good warmup.I really enjoyed the greens.
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.
Great course Friendly Staff
Love this course Could play it every day and not get bored Greens are challenging Staff is the best around Always makes you feel welcomed
Highly recommended
Golf Course
Always enjoy this course. Staff are very friendly and the course has many different holes. Makes one think about every shot. Danger is there but so are rewards. Will be back many times.
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.
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 time.
Good condition. Greens were nice and fast. Real fast. Tough track from blues.
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.
Nice course slow pace of play
Course was in great shape greens were fast pace of play was unbelievably SLOW took 3 hours for the front nine no course marshal people in front of us were giving up and leaving the course we give up after playing number 14, I have never experienced such a slow round in my entire golfing life.
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
