Valley Oaks Golf Course

I enjoy this golf course but was very disappointed in the service at the restaurant. I’m unsure why the only thing the employees are willing to bring you is beer??? They got annoyed I asked them to bring food outside and not even a napkin offered. If your going to serve food to the public, then serve the public. Otherwise don’t put a tip jar out if you don’t want to earn them.

This review is based solely as a bride, and not as a regular/​experienced golfer.
I had my wedding here on November 7, 2015, and Joe is THE MAN to thank!
He gave us the perfect ceremony site, the clubhouse venue space for the reception, the delicious catered food, access to the clubhouse bar (with bartender), the resources to rent equipment (through Details, in Tulare), and the extra staff to run the show. Since the time that we chose this place as our venue, he has been readily available to answer any questions I had, and to meet up in person to work out any other details. He even closed off part of the golf course to ensure our ceremony site was undisturbed. He was incredibly helpful and a pleasure to work with, he truly seemed to care about my wedding and that meant a lot!
As I said earlier, food is AMAZING. We did a tasting session a few months prior to the wedding, and we did not even need to change the entrée options. The tri tip was my favorite, and the chicken was my husband’s favorite, so we did a half and half option for the guests. Sides of green beans and bacon, mashed potatoes, salad, rolls, and he offered vegetarian options as well. I had an ice cream sundae bar, and he also helped store the extra ice cream in his freezer.
I also need to give a special shout out to Raul (hope I spelled your name right!). He was also integral to my wedding’s success, with doing all the technical work (getting a PA system to reach ~500ft away from the clubhouse), as well as chauffeuring myself and my elderly relatives out into the course.
Everyone here made my wedding a truly special day. I can’t say enough nice things, but to wholeheartedly recommend this place to any other people looking for potential venues within a practical wedding budget. My guest total was about 60 people, and I bet at least 100 could have fit in the space we had. So thank you again, Valley Oaks, and to Joe! I don’t know any better way we could have spent our special day!

Had a great Sunday playing golf with co-​workers and new friends. The coarse was in real good shape and lunch was great as well.

Drove 30 min to use the driving range. Found it closed. Looked on line for hours of operations before I came. Found range closed. Apparently you have to be a local regular to the get info. Call before you come.
Attendants where rude about it.

The golf course and every one here is very nice. However the food is mediocre. There is only one healthy dish on the menu and it’s the Chicken Chop Salad. So if your counting calories or counting carbs this place doesn’t have many options.

This course has some great challenges and keeps you on your toes the whole way through. There are three sets on 9 hole courses (Valley, Lake, Oaks) and played Lake and Valley today.
I give it three stars because the condition of the course, but on a curve because it is winter. The staff was rude and uppity which didn’t help at the start of the morning.
I’ll come back in the spring when the course and hopefully the crews attitude is better.

Being from the Bay Area I love this course, three nine hole courses! Super Cheap, I haven’t waited for a tee time, I don’t golf on the weekends because I hate slow golf. As far as the course’s go, they are all challenging I like the Oaks couse the best, a lot less people, everyone wants to play the lakes course which is fine with me. I highly recommend this place.

As far as PUBLIC golf courses in the greater Visalia area are concerned… this place is tops. I am still amazed that Visalia has a 27 hole course. Good way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

A very nicely laid out 27-​hole golf course open to the public. Playable and yet offers enough of a challenge even for the hard-​core golfer. Good driving range; Closed Tuesday afternoons at 4PM. You can call seven days in advance to reserve a tee time. Helpful hint: Avoid weekend play; Since this is the only public regulation course in Visalia, a 5 and ½ round is not uncommon Saturday and Sunday.
