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

All conditions were good, they aren’t punching greens until sometime in July. Shot one of my best scores! Course probably plays a little shorter with all of the downhill holes/tee shots. Love the layout, and it’s one of the last courses around with bent greens. If I had to guess they were rolling around 9 or 10. You could do way worse for $40ish or below

Oak Valley in Great Shape

Haven’t played Oak Valley in a couple of years. And was very pleased that I decided to play it on Father’s Day. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in great condition. Pace of play in a threesome was less than 4 hours. Very enjoyable round!

A lovely time

This course has a bit of everything! Really enjoyable experience with plenty of views from Mr Palmer. The first hole and maybe even second hole are a bit boring but it really ramps up towards the middle and end. Play smart and you will be rewarded. Pretty flat greens rolling medium and true. Maintenance team seems to be doing a great job. A must play top tier course in the local area.

Fantastic course

The weather was in the low 80s. The course has everything you need to make it both challenging and fun. I have played this course a good few times (8-10 times maybe) and always have a brilliant time here. I would highly recommend it!

We were looking for a place to play on the way to Myrtle Beach and found this gem! Greens were amazing, layout was terrific, but the staff made it over the top! So welcoming that I wanted to do our trip there! Must try!

Excellent

I really enjoyed the course. The course is in excellent shape and is a fabulous layout with elevation changes and Watet strategically situated. Front nine took 2 hours, while the back nine took 2 hours 30 minutes. I will definitely play Oak Valley again.

Amazing value for a Palmer design

The designers did a great job with this course, and the staff keep it up very well. Since we were a twosome about two hours after opening and there were a number of foursomes ahead of us, they recommended that we play the back nine first, take a short break for lunch, and then play the front nine with a member single. It worked out wonderfully. It plays longer than the card due to the use of hills and water. Even the one jammed in par three (#8) is an attractive and challenging hole.

I would definitely return the next time I am in the area on I-40.
