Stay in the fairway, the rough is deep and thick. Well worth the green's fee, especially if you play during the week. Well maintained and beautiful course.

Great layout, you can see everything in front of you. No blind shots. Must play several times to become familiar with greens. This is a true test of golf. No wind when we played, lucky I guess.

Great Course. Worth the drive and money. I don't think the temperature got above 40 degrees all day, but the course was in great shape for this time of year. People were GREAT! Have played Oak Valley 3 times at different times of the year and everytime the course was in great shape. Will play again!

choppo talks like a "big man", but he IS that deep, it makes me sick...But like they say "Drive for show, putt for dough". Oak Valley is a great test we played on 12/17 in the wind and came back the next week on Monday 12/23...no wind...until we got on the 1st tee and then it blew all day AGAIN!!! No mercy from the elements when you play here in the winter, I guess.
The course is hard enough from the tips...add a 25 mph wind that comes from two or three directions at the same time and fogettaboutit.

Have been meaning to play Oak Valley for a while. Last time we were this neck of the woods, played across the street.
There have been some changes in this course over the years. First played when there was not a home on the site. Back then they would leave a stack of balls on the range, ready to go, hit as many as you want, without charge. But the times they are a changing.

This was not a day for scoring. We got there early, around 8:00 and they said that the course would not open until 9:00 because of frost. That was ok, we didn't have a tee time.

The wind was howling. About a 3 club wind. It was blowing so hard that a ball at rest on the green would sometimes move. Also, my hat kept blowing off. On the positive side, we played unmolested. After we holed out, I worked on my chipping on a few holes, like I had no cares in the world.

When the wind was at our back you could absolutely rip your tee shot. On 17, around 411 from the blues, I must have hit it 375. A baby lob wedge in to the green and presto, birdieeeee. On 18, I hit one pretting good, had 175 in. Took 8 iron. Miss hit it, but it still found the green. Missed the put. (As a side note, to you gramps that play across the street, Yes I am deep off the tee. Pro deep if not further. However, I only have an average chipping game and average to below average in putting, that is why I am not on the tour)

On the other hand on #11 some 185, I absolutely ripped a 3 iron to get on the green. Normally would be about a 6 iron for me. This was like the U.S. open at Pebbel, only the ruff was not so punishing.

This is a must play course, if you call yourself a player. Will play again next week. The wind canceled out the round. Had a great time and will go back to see how my game holds up on this course, when the weather is not so foul.

Played there 10/10. Yes they are getting it ready for the PGA Tour Qualifying School. It is playing tough. The rough is saying, don't come in here, you won't get out. I had forgotten how great this course is. It had been about 4 years since I last had played here. Definitely will go back soon. A real golfers course. Excellent sight lines and need your game to score well.

Whew!!!! What a course. Great challenge. Wonderful greens and fairways. Very, very difficult if your not straight off the tee. Greens and pin placements just as challenging. Many greens are undulating... Continue »

Whew!!!! What a course. Great challenge. Wonderful greens and fairways. Very, very difficult if your not straight off the tee. Greens and pin placements just as challenging. Many greens are undulating and will kick you in the rear if you stiff it on the wrong side of the green. Staff was professional and friendly. Starter is always on. Pace of play was exceptional. Good experience there, will definitely be back....
