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.

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.

Nice Course

I played twilight and easily fit in 18. I came up from Atlanta and found some time to play. It was a great layout, great conditions. A couple geese died on the range from various shots but outside of that, A+ round.

Best golf value in the Triad

Oak Valley never disappoints! For the price, this course offers an exceptional experience, and arguably one of the best hidden gems in the Triad area. Great pace of play, carts are clean and in great shape. Greens are always in excellent condition. The layout is both challenging and rewarding, hit a good shot and you are set up great, miss and pay the price. Tee boxes could have been cut a little closer but not bad at all. Love playing Oak Valley and highly recommend.

Wanted moire!

Overall, course maintenance left some to be desired. Granted it is early spring, and heavy rain the day before.

But, cart paths in poor shape in some locations and bunker conditions are not steller. Greens had just been punched and not recovered yet.

Scorecards do not reflect current tee markers. Very confusing with all the colors of tees but, no directions to what they were.

Terrible greens

We paid close to $110 for two and a cart and no one informed us they the greens had just been aerated and they guy at the desk said that cause we had already paid he couldn’t refund the money and then we got out there and they put so much sand on the greens that you couldn’t even see the grass on some of the greens.

Great Course under Maintenance

This is a good course, just today though only the front 9 was available and. greens were unplayable. due to being punched and sanded the day before. I just. played the normal shots until reaching the green and. picked up from there. The club house attendant let me know that was the case, so It was known before teeing off. I appreciate that.
