Very fun course

Had a blast with my buddy on this course yesterday. Quality staff, Marshall was very cool. Really enjoyed the whole course, but absolutely loved the back 9. Looking forward to many more rounds at this beautiful course!

WANT A CHALLENGE?

This course offers some of the most challenging fairways and greens in the south STL area. This course is in great early spring condition especially after an overnight and early morning rain. Greens are in fantastic condition and unforgiving. Club house is awesome and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I really enjoy playing Oak Valley and it never lets me and my friends down. Always a challenge!!!

Highly recommend Oak Valley GC!!!

Worst cart paths ever!

Hey, it’s winter! Yardage markers are here and there, greens in tough shape, zoysia grass all brown and won’t hold the ball but otherwise it was only $15.00. Thanks tee off!

Booking tee time

The course is good to play but the phone is always on voice mail and it' full. If you try to book on line, you have to pay for all the players instead of holding the tee time and have the player pay when they get to the course.

So I haven't played since and doesn't look like I will be playing again if I can't book and pay when I get there.

Not worth full price.

The cart paths are horrendous, some of the staff are rude and the price you pay for 18 holes is way too much for this course. Do not recommend. SO many better courses to play.

Course in Great Shape for December

The course was in great shape for December golf! The staff was very friendly and the fairways played well. The only criticism would be that the greens were ridiculously slow. It seemed as though they hadn’t been rolled in weeks.
