Oak Valley Golf Course & Resort

This course used to be great but over time has just gotten terrible. They are going to raise prices soon? For what? The tee boxes and fairways are dead and wore out , you cant find your ball even on a good shot because when it hits the ground it takes off in any direction , yes another lost ball. Hole 18 is probably the best, their is actually sand in the traps and grass in the fairway. On a good note , they have the best hot dog of any course!

The course was very wet, which of course was no fault of Oak Valley. I didn't have the best of days score wise but still enjoyed the course. Will go back!!

Oak valley is a very welcoming course with lots of nature and character. Lots of natural hazards being deep in woods. Challenging if your tee shots arent great that day. All in all a fun course!

Good layout. Front nine are a decent cart ride from the clubhouse. This would be tough to play 18 holes on if you wanted to walk the course though.

Cart paths may need repair soon. They were pretty rough to ride on in places. Definitely would spill some drinks and let loose unsecured stuff out of the cart if you aren’t careful.

Huge bonus points for this course not being completely cart path only with the carts this time of year. Could actually drive up to your ball and range find and choose club right there. Major inconvenience this time of the year with most courses.

Oak Valley is an entertaining and really fun course to play. Lots of rolling terrain with uphill and downhill shots made it challenging to get the proper “adjusted” distance.

Let me state that most of the greens were in amazing shape, especially for the time of the year, and rolled great. Plus, they are huge so you can end up with some long putts. However, a few of them had some splotchy patches as well as a little crabgrass poking through. Hardly any unrepaired ball marks, though so kudos to everyone for that!

On the downside… The fairways were below average and were thin. If it was summer, I would hope they would be better. We didn’t hit into many bunkers but the ones we did weren’t very good and were too wet. Also, the cart paths need serious work on them as they were either broken down pavement or just rock and gravel.

The pace of play was pretty good and we were only held up a few times. The guy checking us in was quite friendly and helpful.

This is a challenging course. Ravines , water , hills, playing up hill one hole and down the next. It gives you fair play with the width of the fairways and the greens are all large, but it will force you to play your best shot. Would highly recommend to anyone if you want to be challenged this course is ready for you. I really enjoy playing Oak Valley, They did have a couple holes where the fairways needed some work but overall course was in good shape.

Course is ok. However some on the staff are hateful. Especially the creepy old guy marshal. Kept following everyone around and yelling at them about they need the carts by sundown. It was an hour before Sundown. Kind of makes it hard to enjoy golf when this cranky old man is lurking around you constantly. There was another cranky old dude in pro shop previously that acted the same way. Maybe same guy. Not sure. If they hate their job or golfers in general maybe they should find another job.

Course needs some work overall but still nice and a pretty location with great natural hills. Lots of abandoned structures around the course that are kind of weird. The cart paths are abysmal and a safety hazard at best.

Pace of play was horrible. They let foursomes on the course that were late and it was more waiting than playing.. super rude and annoying.

Overall I am hoping the new ownership can continue to improve this course that was neglected for years and bring it back.
