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.

One of the best in the Triad for $50

Very good course, especially for the money. Lots of challenging holes and shots, don’t play from the white tees, play from blue if there’s any debate in your group. The course doesn’t play the same and you end up with a bunch of 200 yd lay ups off the tee from the whites and it just doesn’t play how it’s meant to. Love the course though and always seems to kill me on a different pair of holes every time.

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!
