Oak Valley Golf Course & Resort

This fairways on this course are pitched either left or right, you might as well just hit it in the rough because I don’t care where the ball lands in the fairway it rolls into the rough on either side. I hit 13 shots right down the middle of the fairway and ended up in the rough on 11 of those shots! I’m not bragging but I play 3-4 times a week and have a single digit handicap. They were rolling the greens today and they played super fast so you needed to adjust your putt speed accordingly and overall once on the green play was acceptable but boy those fairway rollouts sucked.

Play was a bit slow and no matter where you hit the ball on the fairway it ended up in the rough. Very few level spots on the course. Most all the fairways lean left or right. It’s hard to get excited about golf at this course because you get punished for shots that land in the fairway and roll into the rough. I’m done with this course for the rest of 2023.

Lots of par 4 and 5 holes and plenty of hills. 1st hole has quite a hazard if not careful. Because of a lot of cart path only holes, I could only get through 15 holes.

Seems the clubhouse closed early and I saw no key drop box.

Practice putting green had only one hole and not maintained. Still a sign stated golf shoes only???

Tee boxes nice. Greens long and very slow, but rolled well. The fairways though were so long in the best spots they were three times longer than what I would consider fairway length. And we played right after they were mowed because there were an insane amount of long grass clippings that were clumped from being wet still . Over correcting from early summer drought and bad reviews the other way I assume Last few weeks have been extremely wet so there was no reason they needed be that long. The rough was basically just mowed weeds with tons of problem areas. Lots of dirt spots, water drainage little gullies, right off the fairway. There is almost no way you could play the ball down on the majority of the holes.

It was obviously hot, I had pulled golf cart off path and under tree 4 ft from path at # 4 and was told by marshall to keep carts on path until entering fairway. I told him ok and will follow his direction. Upon grabbing my club to tee off he said "you going to move your cart !!!!" . I replied " you want me to move it now before I tee off? He said yes and gave me a dirty look.

So I moved the cart. It was hot for all of us and sure he was feeling the heat. I payed $ 200.00 for my group to play a round your marshall needs smile and ask vs tell. Remember golfers can choose to golf anywhere today for this price.

Very impressed with the work that's been done here, my congrats to management and crew. For the 100 degree heat, greens and fairways were very nice, but just a little slow.

Very nice course but conditions are fair. Has a lot of potential

Oak Valley’s greens were in very good shape but slow! Most of the rest of the course is good but there are a lot of bare spots . Overall for the price it’s a decent deal, just plan on taking relief in places that aren’t marked for it !

This is the old Teamsters resort course. Nice layout - scenic and challenging. Greens were lush and immaculate- pretty slow but very consistent. Fairways and some tees were getting hard and crusty but there's a drought going on. A real marshall did his best to maintain pace of play. We got stuck behind a foursome playing a two man scramble. Round took 4.5 hours. Waited on most holes and shots. This round was a great value and we will return to play again.

Too hot for old people to play 18

Can we plsease have a weekday 9 hole raincheck?

The guy in the pro shop said ask Golfnow

Good layout, continuing improvement of the course despite dry conditions. A friendly staff and well range red operation.

We had a great time at this course! 18 of the most blemish free, thick, dense greens I've seen in awhile. They hold a shot well. They are quite on the slow side, but VERY consistent. Teeing grounds were uniformly nice. Fairways were hard and fast for the most part. Some areas a little thin, but we're in a drought, and this course is still under a well planned rehab program that is going to result in a fabulous course. The layout is interesting and fair. Real course marshalls doing their job!! They were polite but firm about pace of play. Our round lasted exactly four hours. We will definitely return and recommend this facility.

Greens are well kept, watered etc..... Now the bad. This is a Hot Deal only course for now. Which is a shame since Oak Valley doesn't profit off Hot Deals. GolfNow sets those rates and collects it as source for courses using their service. Anyone that forks up the $49 normal rate, there's no way they're walking off the 18th green saying "Well worth the price. Beautiful course.". Unfortunately it appears the course is becoming an afterthought to the banquet space. I specifically showed up early to my teetime to visit the practice green but it's now closed and showed no sign of coming back. As a Pevely resident myself, I'd become a member but the price doesn't reflect the conditions. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing here but someone in management needs to crunch the financials to make it work. To not only bring in traffic but to keep golfers wanting to come back.
