Played mid-morning Nov 4. I hadn't been out here in nearly a year because the last time we were here, the course was a mess. It was sad, because prior to that, this course had always been in great shape. Always. It was one of our favorite places to play because the staff is friendly and it's just about the golf here. Well, I'm happy to report that Oak Valley is back. In a big way. They're getting ready for Q-School, so the course is playing great right now. Fairways are lush and fairly tight, and the greens, while still recovering from being punched, are coming back just nicely. They're not rolling as fast as Champions at PGA across the freeway, but they're certainly in good condition. If you've never played out here at this time of the year, prepare for the wind. The entire round we had to club up about 1 1/2 clubs. Made for a challenging round.

Played today at 9:00 and the course was in great shape. The fairways were lush the rough was thick overall with a nice first cut. the greens were perfect rolled true and quick. The only problem I saw ... Continue »

Played today at 9:00 and the course was in great shape. The fairways were lush the rough was thick overall with a nice first cut. the greens were perfect rolled true and quick. The only problem I saw was some water in a couple of sand traps but the ones that I found myself in were fine.:) The staff was very polite except for the d%mn guy that was mowing right next to me while I was trying to get up and down. Besides for the guy on the mower I highly recommend this course!

The greens are awesome. Fast and true, like carpet. The course is dry but it so going to get reseeded in a few days. I can't wait to play this course again when the finish reseeding and get it lush. A... Continue »

The greens are awesome. Fast and true, like carpet. The course is dry but it so going to get reseeded in a few days. I can't wait to play this course again when the finish reseeding and get it lush. Again the greens were maybe the best I have played on. Very few ball marks, people fixed what I saw and they were tough. This can easliy be a 8.5-9.0 course in a month or so.

What happened to this place? Played here recently after having not played here in about five years. It used to be one of my favorites, but I think I rode in the same cart from when I played here the last time. All attention to detail seems to be gone. The carts are a disaster. It took us three carts to make it around the course and our playing partners had to push that one in. The staff acted like we were bothering them when we asked for a cart that actually worked. The course just seems like a shotty shell of its former self. Greens are really slow and bumpy. Too bad. I'll wait another five years before I'll be back.

I had the pleasure of playing this wonderful course today and had a great time. The staff was outstanding from the begining, range balls included in the greens fee, and the driving range was in top shape. I purchased the yardage book at the pro shop and would recommend anyone playing the course fot the first time to spend the 5 bucks for one as it was very useful. the course was in outstanding condition althouth the greens were slower than what I had expected. most holes have generous landing areas off the tee and give you many options on how you play the hole. It is hitting into the greens that the course design excells, hit good shots you'll be rewarded with good chances at birdie or an easy par. Miss the green and you might be facing a tough up and down. Hit the wrong part of the green and a 3 putt is might be your fate. Pace of play was good, I just wish this course was a little closer to home. Overall its an enjoyable test of golf that I'll play as often as I can.

First visit here in a couple of years. Greens were super slooooooooooow. Fairways and rough were in good condition. I just feel like this place has gone downhill since my last vist. Tee boxes and traps were below average. New homes around this course give it a completely different look.

One of our favorite courses. Only play it a couple times per year but always in good shape. A good variety on course layout and excellent greens. We played on March 30th and had a little rain but still enjoyed the course. They are now giving free range balls with prime time tee-times(something they did years ago). Bunkers were in very good shape and firm.

Course very good shape for this time of year. However, would have given it a much higher rating had greens been better. They seem to be a bit bumpy on the front only. Back was, for whatever reason,... Continue »

Course very good shape for this time of year. However, would have given it a much higher rating had greens been better. They seem to be a bit bumpy on the front only. Back was, for whatever reason, much smoother and a bit faster. And since we played the back first...it was not a pleasant surprise making the turn. Maybe it's just a temporary thing.

Talked with the golf shop and they told me the collars of the greens were accidentally spayed from a tank that had “Roundup” residue in it! They thought they could save the collars but it appears they have to re-sod them once the weather warms up. The greens themselves actually roll pretty smooth yesterday although they had some sand on them (probably helped) and did not have that dark green look. The rest of the course was in very good condition. The sanded/dead collars are an eyesore. I’m inclined to play across the street until they fix this or offer a reduced rate. Prior warning would have been nice from the course. Guess I should have read the previous feedback.
