Oak Valley Golf Course & Resort

I’ve played this course many times. I like the layout, but there is still work to be done. The management has made many improvements and it shows.

This visit really the tee boxes really needed mowing. They were pretty shaggy, which didn’t hurt the round, but made it a little tough deciding how high to tee it up.

Greens are a little slow, but pretty consistent. Sand traps are being rebuilt; the new ones Look outstanding. Others should be played as ground under repair even if not marked as such.

The clubhouse is dramatically improved. Didn’t stay for lunch this time, but food here has always been good and a good value.

This course is being worked on but currently in bad shape. Some holes are barely playable. Pot holes on some holes and cow pasture type turf for fairways. Not a good course if you want a decent score.

The new owners continue to improve the course. Fairways are coming in nice. Greens could be a little faster.

The course has gotten some needed improvement. The facility is still being renovated for events, but it is looking outstanding.

The course is in pretty good shape, but the sand traps are a work in progress; you really can’t play them except for 18.

The tee boxes could use some women, especially the forward tees. And the cart paths are just nasty.

The greens were in great shape and provide true lines. Maybe a little slow, but true.

This course is really making a comeback, one of the best kept secrets for guys who play once a week.

Right by the highway and great view of revier

Starting to really make updates, hope they can keep the price down

The course was pretty good considering all the rain and there were workers throughout the course working on the fairways and definitely going to improve overall from the Teamster thieves...

Everything at this course is changing for the better. While it is a bit of a drive, it is well worth the time to get there. We were glad to see maintenance people actively working the course. The price for Seniors is very attractive & will be a big draw.

We played Oak Valley today for the first time since the changeover from Union Hills. We were hoping for better. It was not a good experience. Some parts of the fairway were OK, but for the most part just some clumps of grass surrounded by hard tack dirt. The tee boxes were in poor condition and often not level. The most annoying parts, however, were the four-group backups through the back nine and the maintenance workers and mowers on just about every other hole who would stand their ground in the fairway and not yield for you to play. The most you could hope for was for them to stop working and then stand in the fairway and stare at you while you tried to avoid hitting them. Lastly, the greens looked good and rolled pretty true, but were literally hard as concrete. I hit a PW from 100 yards out -- beautiful, high majestic shot. Watched it land on the green 3' in front of the pin, bounce two times (the first one at least 8-10' high) and roll 25 feet from the pin. This happened more than once. All in all a really bad round of golf, even at the discounted price.

We enjoyed our round although the weather was hot and the gnats were bothersome. The greens were in very good shape, the fairways were in ok condition.

I played this course last year and it was in decent shape. I figured that with the new owners and the changes being made this year would be even better. Unfortunately it has gotten worse the fairways were very poor with crunchy dirt and weeds. Some were only dirt, greens do play very nice those seem to be in great shape. I just hope they continue to work on the course and don’t give up. For now it’s not in great shape and not worth to playing.

Great layout and potential to be great but right now the course is not good. Tee boxes and fairways have hardly any grass so you are basically playing off bare dirt or thinly spaced weeds. Bunkers are not playable. It is obvious that owners are spending money to improve the overall complex but the course conditions are very disappointing.

Paid $45 for 18, this course should be $25 at the most for 18. At oak valley you pay premium price for golf but the condition of the course is ridiculous.. I literally felt like they tricked me paying what I did for what was the worst condition course I’ve played this year.

They are renovating clubhouse which will be fabulous.

Course is challenging but fiun to play. If you like the beach you’ll enjoy the strategically placed sand traps

I heard the course was improved but we weren’t impressed and probably won’t be back. When we were there the “clubhouse” was like a junk room with a counter and that was basically foreshadowing how the course was going to be. Could be a fun course but needs quite a bit of work.
