Oak Hollow Golf Course

Staff is rude and unprofessional, tee times are absolutely jam packed. Never once tee off on time even if you arrive 30 mins early. Starters have no control and have no clue what they are doing.

Always enjoyed the layout of this course. Following some rain this was a tough one. Greens very slow. Fairways and tee boxes needed some help. Some bare spots along the fairways. It’s a challenging Pete Dye design. A few of the par 5 holes are a good challenge.

We played on a Sunday morning so it was busy. It started out moving slow and pretty much kept at that pace. Due to rain early in the week it was 90 degree off cart path, so that did not help the pace of play.

The course is definitely a challenge, lots of false fronts and greenside bunkers.

I rated the off course amenities fair because its really just a lunch counter not a bar/lounge. Basic food service and beer available.

All staff were extremely nice (pro shop, player assistants, starter and food service)

The course.was packed for a Monday morning. Apparently the tee times started at 10:00 due to maintenance. Our tee time was at 10:50. They were sending foursomes off every five minutes instead of the usual 8-10 minutes. Unfortunately this led to waiting on every hole and a backup of 2-3 foursomes on certain holes on the front nine. This led to a two hour and twenty minute front nine! For whatever reason the back was not like this ( my guess is a lot of golfers left after the first nine). Now the course was in great shape except for a few tee boxes, but all in all very acceptable. My only other gripe was it was 80 degrees out and they didn’t have any water out in the three locals they have dispersed throughout the course for water coolers. Hopefully Monday was an anomaly and I just caught them on a rare bad day, because I live close by and play this course at least once a month.

Not many Pete Dye public options in this part of the world period, let alone this reasonable pricing. Great routing as you would expect from Pete, very scenic around a pretty lake, greens are a little severe in places (again not uncommon for Pete) but overall a great experience. I had not been out here since 2001 when it was course #546 on my quest to play 3000 different golf courses. @thequestfor3000 on IG. It was as good as I recall it being 24 years later.

Areas around a lot of the greens were more hard pan rather than grass that allows good, clean contact...greens were slower than usual, but that can be an advantage. I'll be back, always have

The layout is challenging and features several elevation changes. Like most Pete Dye designs, it features tight landing areas, interesting approach angles, and crowned greens. The greens were surprisingly slow, but this may have been a result of having been recently aerated. There were also a few bare patches on the tee boxes, but this is a minor problem, easily solved. The staff are very friendly and the pace of play was excellent. We kept pace, and completed the 18 holes in just under 4 hours. If you are in the Piedmont Triad area, and looking to play 18 at a great price, Oak Hollow is a fine choice.

Crazy that they basically tell you that you have to play with other people, care nothing about pace of play I could've lapped the guys in front of me twice and played 36 holes. They made us/ forced us to play with another twosome. very annoying.
