Played Saturday morning. What a pleasure to play a course that is well conditioned. We were lucky that the greens hadn't been aerated. The greens are tricky with subtle undulations but they putt very true. I found that the greens were very receptive and your putts really held the line.
The fairways are perfect, the ball sits up and are dry enough to give you that extra roll. Great Track!

The Pro Shop is well stocked and friendly. The snack bar is a welcome change to the high prices at other clubs.

I recommend this course highly

The greens need to be softened so that they will hold on approach shots, otherwise you have to hit before the front of the green to keep your ball from rolling off the back.

We played Oak Valley for the first time on 2/29/08. It was a warm and beautiful day, a little breezy. Keep you drives in the fairway, or you will be punished by uneven lies or a lost ball if it gets in the thick stuff. There is water that comes into play on some holes, but you don't have to take a direct line over the water. The greens are too hard and fast. Shots into the green were not holding and running off the back. If you had a front pin placement, it was almost impossible to get the ball close. You definitely need to stay below the hole on these greens.
Overall, the course setup is very fair and the scenery was impressive with the snowcapped mountains and the deep-blue color of the water on the course.

played early morning on Sat Feb 2. It was d%mn cold, but still a fun round. The course is in very good condition considering how cold its been. The entire course is playing very, very firm. Fairways were tight, and the greens were rock hard and non-receptive. I've played in Scotland, and when the turf is this firm, you're going to have to hit different types of shots - i.e., where you can, punching and running it up to the green isn't a bad play. The staff here is very professional and simply does a great job.

I played Oak Valley on 12-30-2007 and the course was in great condition. The greens were a dream to putt on and fixing divots is a joy. More courses should learn from the way Oak Valley made their greens. They are consistantly in fabulous condition. We played in just under four hours teeing off at 10:30 on a Sunday. OhhhVee!!!

Me and my pals played yesterday at 9:30. We brought online coupons only to find out that they were no longer accepted. Before I had a chance to protest, the proshop guy said that he felt bad for us driving all that way to pay full price when we didn't think we were going to. He gave us the senior rate for our trouble, which was actually a better discount than the coupon. When I brought that to his attention, he said "don't worry about it". Talk about great customer service! Another great experience happened about a half-hour later. When we hit range balls and were ready to tee off, we got to #1 and we showed the starter our recipt. He said "I've only got one question". I thought, uh oh, he wants to ask us what tees we were planning to play from (I hate being told what tees I can or can't use). But to my surprise, he wanted to know how three guys who didn't look over 30 got the senior discount. That's what I'm talking about folks. It's all about customer service. Nobody wants to deal with starters/marshalls that have the gate-keeper mentality who have power trips. This was a wonderful experience.

As for the course, since they had Tour School Qualifiying here 3 weeks ago, the course was immaculate. The greens were the best I've seen them, and I've seen these greens in great shape before. They were fast, true, and firm. The rest of the course was also in great shape. Better get here while it lasts.

Wow! It had been about 4 years since I last played here. Of course I've always loved the layout, but the condition of the course was fantastic. Perhaps because they had PGA qualifying here just recent... Continue »

Wow! It had been about 4 years since I last played here. Of course I've always loved the layout, but the condition of the course was fantastic. Perhaps because they had PGA qualifying here just recently, it was extra nice, but I suspect the course is kept this way all the time. Everything about the course was first rate. A true pleasure to play!

Played Halloween at 12:00. As always course in great shape and have no complaints about the conditions. The only thing that was a bummer was tha absence of a beverage-cart. It was a slow day so I guess it's understandable but I still wanted a gatorade or a little snack about the sixth hole. Everything else about this course that has to with golf is spot on. They will be having Q-School in the next week or next so if you want to play the course you may want to do it now or wait til Q-School is over.

Played mid-morning today. This was my first round here in about 9 months, and I was not disappointed. The course is in nearly perfect condition. The greens have got to be among the very, very best in SoCal. These greens are receptive, but glass quick at the same time. Very few ball marks, if any. Everything else about this course works so well too. For example, just off the 10th tee, there is a small practice green as well. I'm not sure I've seen that at any other course. The course also uses the red-white-blue flag system, which in conjunction with a range finder, works really well. The new golf carts are top notch too. The tee boxes could have been shaved a little better, but that is a minor complaint. They're growing the rough out - it was very lush today. Q-School must be around the corner. This place continues to be one of the best values, and best facilities, in SoCal.
