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."

A Real Gem

Hard to believe we could get a tee time two days in advance at 7:45AM...When we arrived the told us we could go early and as a twosome if we desired. 3 1/2 hours later we were in our car.
Perfect
Tough green complexes...you better be able to chip and putt to score here.

Plush

Oak Valley in my opinion is one of the best layouts within 30 miles of Palm Springs. Not a super long course, but a course that challenges you to hit it straight as the course is lined with tons of bunkers and a good amount of water.

From tee to green, this course is very well maintained and is a must play whether you live in Los Angeles or Palm Springs.

This was a beautiful scenic course. It was in goid shape but the tee boxes were a bit furry. Other than that, a great golf experience for the price.

Great views

Great course only complaints. Tee boxes were not mowed very shaggy and greens were not mowed very well and had been punched recently and were bumpy. Expected a little more for the price but beautiful course!

Golf Bliss

Played in the 3rd group out on a Friday morning. Course was in great shape and playing conditions were ideal. I got matched up with 2 other singles and we played as a 3-some. We could have played in about 3.5 hours but we had to wait on the 4-some ahead of us on just about every hole. Even so, we finished in four hours. I drove about an hour to get to the course, but this is such a good golf course, it is worth the drive.

This course will challenge all skill levels

Morning greens run true and with good pace. Course and greens are well maintained. It appears that most golfers playing this course repair their fairway and green divots; a rarity anymore, unfortunately. Pace of play is always good and a course marshall comes by frequently.

Clubhouse facilities need an upgrade, but overall a great course in the Inland Empire!

Love this course!

This course is in great shape all the way around. It is maintained and manicured very nice. Fairways are green and firm, while the greens were rolling true. Oak Valley provides all golfers with a tough but fair challenge. I really like the variety it has from hole to hole, especially number 3 and 16 (personal favorites). I look forward to playing this again soon!

Fun but Thirsty!

Hadn't been to Oak Valley in years and had forgotten most of the course. Remembered it to be challenging and it was! Great shape, and fun to play. But played it in the middle of day in the summer and it would have been nice to see a beverage cart or two.

This was on a monday afternoon.
