Great Golf Courses Nestled in and Near the City of Beaumont, California

One thing about the city of Beaumont, in California, and to a larger extent The Pass which includes Yucaipa, Calimesa, Beaumont and Banning, is the great golf courses we have. In all we have seven beautiful golf courses within approximately 16 miles of drive on the 10 Freeway! I guess you could say we love teeing up here in Beaumont!

Here's a quick overview of each course:

The Yucaipa Valley Golf Course, located in Yucaipa, California, is an 18 hole Championship-length, Par 72 course located against the dramatic backdrop of the San Bernardino Mountains, has pristine greens, features 6,803 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 72.8 and it has a slope rating of 128 on Rye grass.  The course was designed by David A. Rainville and Pete Dye and opened in 2000.

I've golfed here a few times and loved the serenity of the course, which is surprising with half the course running along side the main thoroughfare, Yucaipa Boulevard. The other half is bordered by the new and coveted Yucaipa community, Chapman Heights.

The Calimesa Country Club, located in Calimesa, California is just one city over from the Yucaipa Valley Golf Course. The course is not as serious in terms of challenges, but the 18-hole championship design course is open to the public and the Calimesa Country Club holds plenty of events like weddings and local tournaments and have great rates. This a fun place to golf, and not just for the course, but for the people and easy atmosphere. This is the golf course for swinging at a few balls and having a few drinks with friends at the club house.

 Go east down the 10 Freeway a few more miles to the East Valley Golf Club, "Home of the Southern California PGA" in Beaumont, California is home to the 18-hole "Champions Course"featuring 7,377 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72 . The course rating is 76.5 and it has a slope rating of 141 on Rye grass.  The course was designed by Schmidt-Curley Design, Inc., and opened in 2000. Gary Gentile manages the course as the General Manager.

 The East Valley Golf Club is also home to the "Legends Course"and some have said they've had some maintenance issues, but its always looked well-cut to me, but a little wet.

Both courses are sporadically bordered by the new communities of Fairway Canyon and Tournament Hills, in Beaumont.

The Oak Valley Golf Club, is right off the Oak Valley Parkway exit, in Beaumont, California and is next to the San Gorgornio and San Jacinto mountains. Oak Valley has natural and beautiful rolling terrain. The golf course hosts a variety of events like local clubs and hosting the PGA Tour Stage to Qualifying Tournament. This par 72 Landmark Signature Design is filled with challenges to test players of all skill levels. Tees stretch from 5350 to 7003 yards, with well-manicured bunkers, native grass areas and water highlights its natural beauty. I am a bit biased to the Oak Valley Golf Club because I live on the 13th fairway! This is an amazing course that is well-maintained, except for the rough right behind my house (hint, hint grounds keeper!) By the way, if you play this course, please don't slice on the 13th hole- the tile on my roof has already taken a beating!

The Highland Springs Village Golf Course, in Cherry Valley, California is a nice 9-hole private course for the Highland Springs Country Club residents. You can golf here as long as you are accompanied by a resident/member of Highland Springs. The 9-hole "Highland Springs Village" course features 1,654 yards and was opened in 1973.

The Sun Lakes Country Club private course, in Banning, California is surrounded by the 55+ Sun Lakes private golf community. The 18-hole "Sun Lakes"course features 7,017 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72 . The course rating is 74.3 and it has a slope rating of 132.  Designed by David A. Rainville, ASGCA, the Sun Lakes golf coursewas opened in 1986. Professional Community Management manages this facility, with Will Haifley as the General Manager. It is an amazing course, but to play here you must be accompanied by a resident/member of the Sun Lake Counrty Club.
