Played here Mid February on a long weekend that included Oak Quarry, and Oak Valley.

Course is in good shape, but still dry. Hopefully improved with the recent rains. Many interesting holes, but with all the construction the visual beauty of the course is quite diminished. I played here several years ago before all the construction and it was a real treat to be without distraction, just you and the course....and the occasional train. :-)

The strong winds (which are frequent) make some of the holes play very short (Long Par 5's in some cases I could reach in two and I'm not a big hitter), and conversely others played very, very long.

The $5 replay makes playing here a great value. Overall a fun course, good layout and good condition. However, keep Oak Quarry and Oak Valley in mind when you're deciding where to play.

Played here mid February on an extended local golf tour that included So Cal PGA and Oak Quarry. I really enjoy this course, some very interesting holes. Greens are very fast and the subtle slopes will break more than you think. With the lack of rain this course is drying up, but still very playable. Hopefully the recent rains have helped.

The staff at Oak Valley is just superb! Very friendly and helpful, and willing to move slower players falling behind along.

For a great challenge on a fine course, Oak Valley is an excellent choice.

This is one of my favorite Southern California courses. Played here mid February on a Monday morning. It's usually windy here, but the 5 or 6 times I have played Oak Quarry, the course is always in superb condition with fast, true greens. Fairways were green and not too hard, especially compared to other courses in the area that were much drier. You would be hard pressed to find a course with a greater number of unique holes, interesting layout, and challenges. It's a long drive from Long Beach, but I will continue to make the trip on a regular basis.

I work only a couple of miles from this course and hit a few balls on my lunch break quite frequently, but I have never played here until recently. The course is in reasonably good shape considering how dry it has been. It is a straight forward layout with only a few interesting holes, but still fun. Greens were in decent shape and rolled pretty true, but slower than other tracks. The most noticeable thing about the course is in between the fairways they have a dirt/wood-chips type of substance that will suck up your ball never to be found. Obviously you want to keep it in the fairway, but even if you don't you'd still like to be able to find your ball.

Overall a good course to play, price is about right at $35 during the week.

Fun layout, Valley Course less interesting than Ridge.

I played here for the first time on a Wednesday (10/26), paying $69 including cart.

The 27 hole course has a Valley nine, Creek nine, and Ridge nine. My round included the Valley/Ridge combination.

Looking at the scorecard layout of the course, I was concerned that the back and forth design of the course with adjacent fairways would make for a completely uninteresting round. But there are enough trees and space in between holes that this isn't a problem.

The Valley nine was straightforward and I didn't feel that there was much excitement or imagination except for a couple of holes which had a blind tee shot over a ridge.

The Ridge course was far more interesting and challenging. Elevated tee boxes and water hazards made for a fun back nine.

Overall, the course plays fairly short, with most of the par 4's easily reachable with a 3-wood, short iron combination. The greens are well-maintained and have enough undulation and tiering to be challenging for most golfers.

I plan to play this course again, definitely playing from the (blue or black tees) and sticking to the Ridge and Creek courses.
