Valley of the Moon Golf Club

Fun course that is more difficult than it looks due to strategic placement of trees and sand traps. Only negative was there was no refreshment cart on the course and the snack bar was closed. It was a warm day so believe both of those would have been popular.

And I was the volunteer course head marshal from 2008 - 2014. Formerly known as The Oakmont Golf Club. This track was built in 1965. The club's fortunes rose and fell many times since inception. Actually went bankrupt and closed for 2 years. But now it's running again with the support of the community that pays a subsidy in their monthly HOA. Course gets moderate play. On weekdays you can always get a tee time, you might even be able to walk on and play immediately. Of course Saturday - Sunday is more crowded. The track is easily walkable, no elevation changes. Hole layout is straight forward. Parkland course with lots of trees. Entire course lined with houses. Lots of pretty views. Course condition can be sort'a bad in wet soggy winter, I've lost 100's of balls that got plugged and buried in saturated fairways. Summer course condition us usually pretty good. Comparable to a well run municipal. Well worth the green fee price. Restaurant food is consistently mediocre. Stop in for drinks only.

I have always enjoyed this course. It is a traditional set up and is in very good shape tee to green. I would recommend it highly.

For the most part, the course was in very good condition, though the greens had been aerated recently.
