Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 06/2019.

Diamond Valley Golf Club is an easy drive into Hemet Valley from a number of locations including San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles. Though it's easily accessible, the course is tucked away in the San Jacinto Mountains, offering a feel of peaceful seclusion. The layout encompasses a variety of terrain, from scenic waterscapes to lush, rolling hills covered with native plants and grasses. With dramatic elevation changes from tee to green, this course isn't walker friendly, which can easily be overlooked if you're looking for a truly formidable test. The sloping nature of the landscape lends a different character to each hole and the elevated tees provide panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. One of Diamond Valley Golf Club's most memorable holes is the par-3 17th. It's as scenic as it is challenging, requiring a short iron to wedge shot over a cascading waterfall.

The coarse is in great shape.

You couldn't drive on a couple of the holes yet because of overseeding.but not that big of a deal. overall it is in great shape. Some tough holes and some easier holes.

Nice course layout

The Course is nice and reasonably priced but it is a little out of the way. I will play here again but when I played it on October 7th the front nine were in the middle of being overseeded and soaking wet. The course should be up to speed now with their annual maintenance but check before you book.

Worth raving about!

In the middle of Nowhere, CA is this beautiful, well managed course. Hats off to the greens superintendent. Yes, the greens were super slow due to top seeding, being soft and not cut, but when they are cut and rolled watch out.
The guest services personnel were top notch. Thanks for a great experience on a course where each hole presented a different look in the midst of wonderfully thoughtout growth.

Nice course with SLOW! Greens.

Overall condition was pretty nice but the greens were way too slow. I think I would have shot better chipping on the greens than putting.

Getting in great shape

With the snowbirds flocking to the Inland Empire, some of the courses like Diamond Valley and Hemet GC have done a lot of overseeding. The greens at Diamond Valley are "fuzzy" and should be in perfect shape by Thanksgiving. Until then, they are very slow. Fairways have greened and this challenging course in a rural setting is a joy to play.

great couse except durning re-seeding season

They are in the process of re-seeding the course, so no cart on course, golf cart path only, 2 of the par 3 were closed, but they had replacement holes. the greens are like putting on shag carpet. I would wait until they cut the greens back, about another week or so. call first to get updates before booking round.

This Course Should not be Played for a Couple of Weeks

We knew to expect cart path only so we were prepared for that. We didn't know that two of the par three's were closed. One we found out after the fact was moved to a different location and in a different order. We were frustrated they were late opening and even later bringing up the carts. Sprinklers were on a computer timer that made a difficult cart path only play even more difficult. Greens had not been mowed and we felt like we were putting through molasses. All in all we were disappointed that we didn't know about all of the course issues prior to driving 45 minutes to get there. As a result we were frustrated with Diamond Valley as well as Golf Now because had we known about the true conditions we would never have booked here at any price. This was no deal!

course was very bad

cart path only, not told in advance. New grass on most greens but not cut? Sprinklers came on us more than once getting cart and clubs wet. wasn't worth $10 let alone $27. My partners (3 of us played) were VERY unhappy

This course will test your skills

Several challenging holes will test your skills to maintain accuracy of hitting the fairway sweet spots. The pace of play in the afternoon was very good. The course was well maintained except that the greens that had just been aerated. The staff was friendly and helpful with excellent knowledge of the course. We enjoyed our round and will be back to play again.

Great cours, nice layout greens and fairways are in good shape

I always have liked this course, it doesn't get alot of play due to the fact it is out there a bit. this is a plus if you dont mind the drive. the greens are in great shape, fairways are awesome and the lay out is comfortable. The snack bar is adaquate. the price is well worth it and there always seems to be a Hot deal which makes it even a better bargin..

The course was well maintained as it usually is, the staff was friendly, this course plays real difficult when the wind is up, lots of crosswinds. Senic views on many holes.
