Great course and value.

This was my first time playing at Oak Valley. The greens were in great shape! Can tell the fairway needs some work. Once that gets taken care of this will be a tough place to get a tee time. Thanks for the great first exp!

Horrendous conditions…dry as as bone. If there was something green, it was a cool layout.

Gave it another try

It's been over a year since playing there. 3 years ago considered joining and they said that they were spending money on it to try to bring it back to its Old Glory. They spent money for sure, on the clubhouse. I would say if you want to have a golf course be a source of income, maybe you should spend some time money and energy on getting it into shape. Booked 18 holes but quit after 9. I would say over all the courses in worse condition than what it was 3 years ago. For playing on a Saturday evening it looked like the holes have not been changed out in a week. The edges were Brown and grass was growing over them down into the hole. The fairways had grass if that's what you want to call it and sporadic at best on some holes. It's sad because it seems like they care more about hosting Banquets and weddings more than the course. I would suggest taking your own golf cart if it's four wheel drive because the cart paths need help. I will say the greens overall were fairly plush but not fast because it seems like they keep them wet enough to keep them growing they just never cut them. It would take an act of God for me to go back. Sorry Oak Valley I had high hopes.

Great layout, pace of play was terrible and he fairways were in very bad shape.

Loved the course layout, fairways were basically weeds better off playing from the rough. Greens were in pretty good shape. Wouldn’t come back for the same price.

Enjoyable Day

Course was in pretty good shape. Pace was a little slow on front 9. Marshall came around, was excellent keeping things going and and a great guy. Only frustrating issue was waiting 15 minutes for a couple of bratwurst. Didn’t tell us up front or we would have just skipped the food.

Oak Valley

Very dry course, tee boxes were rock hard, fairways had patches of grass but too many dry spots and dirt, greens were rough with newly laid sod patches throughout the entire course, they aren’t watering the course and I won’t be going back this year.

Course condition was rather poor. Both the fairways and greens were in poor condition event factoring in the bad weather lately.

Very good value

Tee boxes and fairways are a bit tired. Some fungus on greens but playable. Staff is always great. Good value for the money compared to some other courses around.

Course Has Seen Better Days

If you just want to play 18-holes at a reasonable rate and don’t mind a course with little upkeep, this course is for you. The staff is 5-star amazing! I just wish the course was similar to the friendly and kind people who work there.

White sand bunkers and decent greens

Fairway was a little rough in spots but nothing major. Greens were the same. Bunkers are white sand and play nicely. Very nice buildings, carts are all very nice.
