Great Fair Layout

The greens were in good shape but the bunkers are a disaster and the fairways were in need of some work in a lot of places. Loved the layout

Definitely worth it

This course has improved so much I cannot emphasize it enough. I’ve played at this course atleast 30 times cause it’s very close to my home, in 2019 it was in rough shape new owners came in and really made some huge upgrades in 2020. My favorite course to play at.

First and last time playing here.

The staff is great. Everyone was very friendly. The course is in horrible shape though. Maybe it will get better with time. $35 for 18 seems excessive for playing here.

Hi, we are very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at the course. Our goal is to keep the pace of play running smoothly and to never have it too backed up. As far as the raincheck goes, sounds like you prepaid for a Hot Deal on GolfNow. When this is the case, no money is paid to the pro-shop so there is no money that is owed back from the course. You may have booked other course times through GolfNow and that is why you were able to obtain a raincheck. If you call GolfNow, they would be happy to rectify the situation. We hope this clears any confusion up and we hope you give us another try in the future.

Hi, thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Oak Valley Golf Course & Resort. We hope to see you again soon.

Worth the drive

My son and I spent the day at oak valley today, the course was in good shape, about what you'd expect with all the rain recently and lack of maintenance during the shutdown. Overall it's a great course to play, fun yet challenging, the carts were in perfect condition, and the staff was as friendly as could be. It's a little out of the way but worth the drive and well worth the money

Great Course

Fairways are in excellent condition. Greens are awesome. COVID-19 conditions are very safe with raised cups at the hole leaving flag in.

Only rub would be some tee boxes are not fully in yet with grass. But they are coming in, you can tell.

Typical public course

Some fairways are thin. Of course ball always ends up in Spot with lil or no grass. Greens in decent shape. Not sure if yardage markets correct. Course plays longer than markers and hole signs say
