Oak Valley Golf Club
About
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 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.
Best for Mid to Low Handicaps.
The course is in great shape, always is. You are just punished heavily if you can't always keep it in the short grass. The first cut of rough was about 4 inches high and very thick. Balls get lost easily, in. open areas. you have to walk up on the ball since they sink into the thick rough. I lost about 6 balls to the rough today. If you are a high handicapper like myself, it was not as much fun as I was hoping for.
I did like the staff, especially the starter who provide advice on which tee I should use.
Condition of course
Very challenging mainly because of the rough being so deep and some of the pin placements were very difficult.
Fun layout
Always in superior shape. Challenging but fun to play. Greens well maintained.
