Oak Quarry isn’t just carved into the Riverside landscape; it *is* the landscape, a defiant reclamation of a former rock quarry. The Schmidt-Curley design team leveraged the dramatic elevation changes and exposed rock faces to create a visually arresting and strategically challenging course that is equal parts brawn and beauty. With wide fairways that belie the trouble lurking off the short grass, and a layout favoring those who can move the ball left-to-right, Oak Quarry rewards bold play but punishes the careless. Opened in 2000, Oak Quarry hasn't played host to events on the biggest tours, but its unique character and dramatic setting have made it a favorite among Southern California golfers looking for something different. The course’s distinct identity draws a passionate local membership. They are known for the annual "Quarry Cup" a multi-day event steeped in tradition and spirited competition. The massive scale of the quarry setting ensures a sense of isolation on the course, despite its location near the city. Don't be surprised to see wildlife taking advantage of the ponds and natural areas crafted within the landscape.
