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.

Needs Improvement

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.

Fun, Challenging, not bad for the Price

I heard about this course from a friend. Honestly never knew it existed so close to home. I’ve played here 3 times already in the past month. It’s a more challenging course from the ones I’ve been playing. Pace play was great 2 of the 3 times I’ve played, but you’ll have those busy days like anywhere else. I’m usually a solo player, but was paired up with another solo for a round, and it was nice meeting someone else who was still learning and had a passion for the game like me! The best part are the ball and club cleaner stations attached to the cart! The worst part was some of the greens were pretty bad. Some spots had grass at least an inch tall. I don’t know much about course management, but I imagine they were spots that were being fixed and getting ready for the spring/summer months. Overall, the course is fun and challenging for a beginner. Will be coming back a lot more

Looking a little tired

This course was really nice a year and half ago. It's beginning to be a bit tired on the fairways and some of the greens are suffering from a fungus. Overall it is still a fun course and a great "hot deal" value. I'm sure they will get it back in shape in the near future.
