Oak Valley Golf Club boasts the only Arnold Palmer-designed course in the Winston-Salem area. The course sprawls across what used to be old dairy farmland, nestled in the North Carolina foothills. Palmer utilized the rolling, wooded terrain and transformed the site into one of the Triad’s most scenic golf courses. The layout presents many challenges, including strategically placed sand traps along the undulating greens. You will also come across a fair amount of water hazards throughout the golf course. Palmer, known for his "go for broke" playing style, incorporated several interesting risk-reward holes and it has become what the course is known for. Good drives will be generously rewarded while an errant shot will make it tough to even get a bogey. Oak Valley Golf Club is a favorite among local golfers.

Loved the course and scenery

I loved the course and the scenery. Beautiful course and great layout! Early in the year and they had just plugged the tee boxes and sanded the greens. But it is a beautiful course and a lot of fun.

Messy Greens

Teeoff usually does a good job posting a warning about aeriation. However, when this tee time was booked, there was no warning on conditions of greens. This course must have not reported about this to Teeoff or a warning was missing. When I checked in and looked at the course, greens looked all white meaning sand was applied after aeriation or some maintenance work. I assumed it would be slow green but playable. Man, it was horrible green conditions with large amount of sands blocking ball rolling every green. I love this course but today (3/28/2026) greens were so bad with sand on greens. I would wait by cancelling my tee time in time if I knew this condition in advance.

The golf course was very nice but nowhere on any website. Did they say that just punched the greens and dumped a ton of sand over the greens and still charge $75 that did not sit well with me..

Wasted money

Feel like I wasted my money for myself my son and brother in law to play as there were 2 teens in front of us taking their time with their phones and speaker being loud and obnoxious along with 2 older guys on front of them kept holding us up from playing multiple holes. Called the pro staff desk and saw it not get handled as the staff went away it went right back to how it was prior. Never felt like a waste of money to that day

Great shape !

Course is in great shape . A few holes have wet spots short of the green. Not a showstopper but would love to see them do something about it. Greens looked and rolled great. Overall great experience for a discounted rate!

SLOW

I understand public golf courses are trying to make money but tee times that are 7 minutes apart are unacceptable. My foursome was early for our tee time but we weren’t able to tee off until 15 minutes after our tee time. There were three groups on every hole and we had to wait to hit every shot. It took my group over 3 hours to play 9 holes. At the turn, there were 3 groups waiting to tee off on the back 9, so we cut our losses and didn’t even attempt to play the back 9. This is absurd. I love the course but it’s ridiculous that it has come to this. I do not recommend playing out here until they add more time in between tee times. It should be 12 minutes apart, 7 is just not even close to doable. Be better Oak Valley and do the right thing.

Phenomenal Greens

I'll cut to the chase. Overall course conditions and layout are pretty good. The condition of the greens were excellent. So good that my playing partner and I didn't have one three putt between us for 18 holes!! Play it!!

Great track

Hilly and fair.

I played the tips and only had one tee box that wasn’t perfect.

These greens are bent grass and were very soft. The sand in the traps was fluffy and soft. The staff was friendly and the carts were powerful but dated.

I really enjoyed the round and the track was challenging but fair. I’ll be back for another round.
