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.

Oak Valley GC - Great winter play.

Oak Valley GC designed by Arnold Palmer is in excellent condition, with wide fairways, although not over seeded, really good lies are out there. The greens hold, and there very smooth & true. A must winter play.

Entire experience was awfu

I play Oak Valley all the time. I used GolfNow to book a tee time because it was late in the evening the day before and I couldn't get in touch with the pro shop. Booked the round and headed out there the next day.

Oak Valley didn't have me on the books and I actually didn't even get to play.

I will not ever use Golf Now to book a tee time again. Overall it was a terrible customer experience.

Good track

Greens in excellent shape, and fairways and tees as well. Play was a bit slow and they were behind on starting by about 15 minutes .

Definitely need more course knowledge to score well. Leaving your tee shot in the correct place is a must. Some force carries but a very enjoyable and challenging course that I will be playing again.

Great condition for a public course

As good as it gets for a public course. Greens were kept up great. It’s not like they were crazy fast but they rolled straight and didn’t have an obnoxious amount of ball marks. Facilities are nice and the layout is pretty fun.

Rough needs to be shorter

I had some very good shots today and couldn’t find my ball because the rough was so tall
