Oak Valley Golf Club

Beaumont, CA

Reviewed by: weeman68, pasadena

Winter conditions throughout.  The only thing thriving is the rough after the rain (and that’s not necessarily a good thing!)

The Review

Fairways are dormant and gray with many sprouts of poa 4/10.

Tee boxes generally fine but a few were shaggy and 3 or 4 were noticeably crowned 7/10

Rough was very healthy, US Open stuff with the ball frequently sitting down so you couldn’t see it till you were over the top of it. 9/10.

Sand was firm to compacted at times (after the rain) and needs some grooming 7/10.

Greens were slow and very bumpy (one had fungus at the back) and did not track well at all 4/10.

Our Reviewer’s Take

They were disappointing for such a course and for what otherwise would be memorable, contoured surfaces to putt on.
