I agree with the previous comment about the sand and cuts around the greens. They were not anywhere close to top-notch condition, but they rolled true. Played on 2/18/06 and d%mn near froze our asses off, so check the weather. It's ten degrees colder here than the Palm Springs area. No way is this course worthy of 4 1/2 stars, but it's a fun track. People were very nice there. No GPS, ancient ass carts too. The carts were so old, I felt that Bobby Jones might be playing ahead of us. Food was very good and service staff were very very nice. We didn't see enough of the cart girl, however. Pace was okay at best. First round of 36, we had to wait for some sorry foursome who took at least five hours to play. They were five holes in front of us when we started. Not a ranger to be seen to kick them in the ass. There was some drainage problems on a few holes too. I would recommend going accross the interstate and playing PGA of Southern California over this course, but if you get a cheap rate here, it's worth it.

Played last week. Very accomodating starter got us out ahead of our tee time. Always enjoy playing here. Front nine was gorgeous condition. Starting on 10, all of the greens had scalloped edges where mowers had scalped the grass and it had been covered by fine sand. Possibly to expand green sizes in the future? If anyone can explain this to me please do. Outside of the aesthetics, these areas still putted fairly true. High winds added a few strokes to my back nine, not the greens. Going back tomorrow to see how things are coming in.

Course was in great shape. Super windy when we played. Tough course.

It's amazing how much a lower index can change a course. I had played here a year ago w/ an +18 plus handicap and this course ate me alive. Plus, they were growing out the rough for a tournament of some kind, so that didn't help.
Now, I've got my index down to about 11, and had an excellent time at Oak Valley. This course has always been beautifully maintained, but it's certainly tough for a high-handicapper.
They were sending people off the back and I shot a 41 on that side, then had to leave to get to the office. So I can only speak for that half of the course. But, as I remember it being before, it was wonderfully maintained and very challenging. The greens were exceptionally fast, and they took me a few holes to get used to.
For $55, I'm not sure I've played a nicer course.

one of the best golf courses in SC. very fair, very tough, a real test.
short game a must, all differant types of shots needed to score.
conditions were good. greens held real well but were not as smooth as I 've seen them. Still putted better than most. Pins were in very tough location, maybe the same as they were for the PGA qualify event.

Played 11/24/05 for the first time.Being thanksgiving day morning course seems not so busy.One of the most well maintained golf course of socal.Congratulations.
