Oak Valley Golf Club

Course is in good shape. It was slow as it gets with a 6 hour round, though. There was 3 tournaments out ahead of us before we teed off at 11 AM. We waited on every shot. EVERY shot. I'll reconsider trying this course late morning on a Saturday again. But overall the course is in good shape. Come on out before they start aerating on the 30th.

Beautiful layout. Awesome the way the holes are put together! The price is fair and the golf is challenging. You need to make this a course you play once a month at least.

Perfect fairways, perfect greens, great sand (if you miss your shot) and a great design with a bunch of memorable holes. Large fairways for your drive and angle in, but challenging second shot course. No homes in the way. We saw a wild Bobcat in the brush with her cubs, a bunch of hawks, fish in the clear water lakes. If you have not played here it is an absolute must. The price point is totally worth it. The best driving range....The only thing I would improve is beer cart service. But they give you an ice chest with free ice and you can load up at the bar. I would play here every day and nowhere else if I could afford it. Bang!!

Played the Whites (6316/70.5/130) with Andrew1, Marcus and HmtGolfGuy in slightly over 4.5H playing behind their Men's Club. $45 w/cart Sr. weekday rate. The weather was clear, fairly calm and warm. Combination of being far from my home(s) and rarely finding a "deal" resulted in me not played here in around 25 years. Did not remember much about the excellent layout, but it is both fun and challenging. The playing conditions were very playable. The tees had decent coverage and were mostly well maintained. The fairways were mostly poa, are firm and were winter thin. The combination of firm and thin produced some long drives. The rough is lush, several inches deep and thick. Lost ball rough unless you are right on top of it. Using anything more than a short iron out of some of the questionable lies was a recipe for disaster. The sand was nicely maintained with fine grain sand. However, the bunkers I was in/around had way too many rocks in them to be considered good. The large, undulating green complexes are challenging. VERY firm, they were smooth and putted medium fast. This course would be really challenging to walk as numerous tees are a long way from the last green. No drink cart out, the Marshall was out patrolling. No GPS on the basic carts. All grass driving range was a +. Definitely recommended.

Do not suggest for beginners.

Great layout Tee to Greens. Every hole poses interesting strategy and greens make this a thriller.

Plays longer than the card. Sloping fairways force management off the tee.

Warm up and Practice facilities are extremely well maintained.

This is a well managed course by owners/staff that have a passion for the game.

Highly recommend this course if you are in the area.

Short drive from Palm Springs and a different experience from the Desert Courses.

Clubhouse is fair, not a place to shop or eat.

Love this course. Great track and a good change from desert golf courses. Tough and you need to manage your game. Greens are undulating and tricky. Will play here whoever I can.

Excellent Track and we love it. We are Snowbirds and this our preferred course to play.

I have not played this course in over a year. I got a great deal on GolfNow.com, but "you get what you paid for". The greens and surrounding areas were in good condition, but the rest of the course has gotten away from the superintendents. The course layout is awesome; there is so much potential. I unfortunately will not be coming back because it is too far from home to play a course that has as many weeds in the fairways as grass.

Tee off 6:40 am, open fairways, little windy different areas but wide fairways to compensate for wind. Back 9 challenging with rolling hills, bunkers and water. We had a great time, plan on going again in near future.

...the course a bit of a challenge for me as an old guy...but we enjoyed the layout and the greens were a challenge with little rolls and nuances...especially around the hole it seemed...quite fast...windy on the high tees...a good value...

The course has a great layout . Tuff greens perty fast.fairways were great!. I had a great time!!!

A very challenging golf course. The greens were rolling nice.

I use golf advisor and golfnow all the time to help with info on courses I haven't played, so I like informative and useful reviews. I have played Oak Valley a few times in the past, but not in the last 5-8 years. It used to be a favorite when I was in the area because of layout and condition. The layout is still good, it's a fun and (can be) challenging course, but you can tell they don't put much money into the course. They've done away with a number of bunkers, the condition was poor/fair at best, pace of play was one of the worst I have ever experienced (5.5 hours as a threesome. 16th hole had 4 groups on it at once) no beverage cart, no one in golf shop other than guy at the register, the golf carts are the equivalent of a 1985 ford escort. Cracked and torn seats, rattles and loose parts etc...I had to switch carts at the turn because I didn't think the first one would make it another 9. I was looking forward to playing here again but in reality it's on the level of a poorly maintained muni course. The staff that was there was friendly and courteous, and the greens were decent and good speed (albeit very bumpy) and those are really the only positives I can say. I'm a little puzzled at all the good reviews. I am a 9 hdcp and played from the whites and should have played blues. Kind of hurts me to ding this place because I used to really enjoy it, but it just isn't very nice any longer

Great course, easy from the Whites. More challenging from the Blues. Will continue play here until my body gives out

My two friends and I had an 8:56 am tee time. We arrived at the course and found out there was a frost delay until 9 am. Luckily there were only two groups of four waiting to tee off. No problem at all, went to the restaurant and had an excellent breakfast burrito. At approximately 9:30 AM, our group of three teed off with not a golfer in sight. Had a great time playing at Oak Valley for the first time. Course conditions were as to be expected for the winter months with fairways dormant. However the greens were in excellent condition and rolled true all day. Course layout was fun, challenging and would definitely return for a second time to play some shots differently. All in all a good experience and would definitely recommend someone to play this course.
