Poor maintenance

The course is poorly maintained. The greens are in poor condition aswell as the bunkers. The price to play is the high for how the course is maintained.

Not Worth it At All

Played this course in the summer of 2021 and it was in pretty poor shape. Decided to give it another go this summer and it surprisingly was worse. The greens are absolutely beat up and dead and the fairways are like the rough at most courses. The course Marshall’s and starters don’t really help pace of play at all. For $50, it is absolutely not worth it at all.

Camouflage greens

Enjoyed playing this course however, some greens had significant brown dead grass areas making it look like the greens were camouflaged. Fairways and rough were in decent shape and consistent.

Really Nice Course

Always a pleasure playing Oak Valley GC. Fairways and greens were in good condition considering the extreme heat over the past month. Highly recommended. I look forward to playing it again soon.

Fairways choppy

The tee boxes were actually in good condition and the greens are better than they were last time but the fairways had a lot of chunks of dry huge holes

Good time, tough conditions

I agree with previous reviewers that the course staff/superintendent are fighting a tough fight with the summer that we’ve had. Played this course from ‘96-‘04 when it was under the Teamsters banner. I know it’s been a rough summer and the greens and certain areas of the fairway show it. Maybe some rain and TLC over the next year will improve conditions. Appreciate the folks in the clubhouse and super’s willingness to let us play until 8:30 PM to finish our 18.

Monstrosity or atrocity, you pick.

Myself and my friends have played this course multiple times and the on course conditions continue to deteriorate at a rapid rate. The course is knackered with overgrown grass, trees, and weeds, making enjoyment of the game nearly impossible. Greens are either dead or majority weeds. Fairways lack grass and are harder than a rock. Save your money or go to another course.

First the good, course was in the best shape I have seen in a couple of years, staff was fantastic, price was really good for a Saturday. Now the bad, pace of play was not good. I know people like to play honors on the tee box, which means the best driver usually has the box, let the shorter hitters hit their drives first when the course starts backing up. This does not just happen at this course. Second, I know the course is on a tight layout but it really could use some tree trimming so you can see where your balls go, especially on drives, which would speed up pace of play.

Terrible Condition

We play this course numerous times pre year. This year is their worst yet for fairway condition. Greens were just average.

Golf Now cost was $68 weekend midday. Definitely not worth that price. Especially when Acorns and Annbriar are lower price but superior courses.

Course Super is rude and acts like he doesn’t even want you on his course.

Saddening how this course has gone down hill this year. ‘Cause it’s closest to my house.
