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."

Lots to be desired...

The course was not in good condition. The greens were extremely hard and fast, rather like putting on concrete.
We did not enjoy our round at this course this time. Winter may be part of the problem but that is only one issue with this course.

Please update this course

This is my favorite course and a must play if you love golf. Yesterday was uncommonly cold and play was difficult. Maybe that lent to the abnormally slow play. I don't mind the lack of grass in the fairway but the greens are so hard and fast that it is close to unplayable. Water and warmth would help.

Lack of rain notwithstanding this course needs a slight face lift. I wish they would put some money into upkeep as It is too good a design to let it go like they have.

Winter Conditions/Beware FASTest greens ever

I love/hate this course. That's a good thing. It's as tough a course you can play. On this day, in the middle of winter, the greens were insanely fast.

Requires a lot of local knowledge to know when to go at a flag on approach or when not to.

Some lovely holes, lots of elevation changes. The rough is inconsistent and a bit spotty, but this is Winter, coming off a rough summer.

Excellent value.

Best in the area.

Everything about Oak Valley is very, very good. A warm welcome and great conditions, excellent greens. Course a bit stressed at the edge but not surprising considering the drought. Treat yourself !!!!

Winter golf

Does anyone else think its odd that the most beautiful courses take less care of their back 9 than the front 9. Ok rant over....if you hitbthe ball straight your in a good place. If you go side to side or have a bad hook or slice, its going to be rough. Lots of sand, beautiful sand, deep sand. Awesome course, the hazards are in all the right places. Fun par 3's. Overall challenging course too bad it's basically winter and the grass isn't at its best.

Worth the drive

First time playing Oak Valley, 3 of were playing, everyone enjoyed the course. It was shortly after overseeding, but the course played very well anyway. Would love to play this course when in good shape. Not many houses on the fairways, nice track.
Priced very good for this type of course.

Nice Course That Could Be A 5-Star Course

This course is always in above average condition, and is one of the most challenging courses within 50 miles of it's Beaumont location. However, it is not without it's issues. First, the tee boxes have been getting shaggy and a bit more uneven over the past year. Second, nobody seems to fix their ball marks on this course! I could have spent an hour on every green fixing the DOZENS of ball marks I saw. Third, this course should have cart GPS - like almost every other course in the area. Given that the condition of this course is not getting better, and they don't have GPS, they might want to consider lowering their prices. Finally, I tried to play this course as a single at 2:50 p.m. last Sunday (11/8). I was told that "we don't tee anyone off after 2:15 on Sundays"... What? They didn't want my money? I went across the freeway to Morongo and was able to get 18 holes in on the Legends course. I teed off at 3:10 p.m. and finished as it was getting dark at 5:15 p.m.

Course well maintained

First time playing here - the course was in great shape and the weather while warm was nice. Slight breeze in the morning helped with the heat. There ws a tournament in front of us so the pace was slow but I will go back and play there once it cools down outside.

A little disappointed

I thought this course would be immaculate after reading the reviews. At least the greens were perfect. Overheard some weird/rude comments from the cart boys. The cart was terrible, almost rolled down the hills a few times. Other than that, the fairways were a little thin and the rough was a little dry, but still decent. Just disappointed I thought it would be nicer than the Morongo courses and it is not.

Very Nice course for the value

started with a very nice deal from golfnow for the weekend price. Pace of play was excellent under 4hrs on saturday afternoon. Fairways and greens are in a great shape. Course has little bit of everything.(water, blind shots, different terrains, bunkerss, tough par3s). Fun and challenging course for everyone. Very nice practice facility available but don't know the price for that.. driving range uses grass.. has water on every 3holes.
