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.

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.
Very nice course
It's not a lot of trouble on this course, BUT you need to keep the ball in play and score well before getting to the back nine. Starting at 12 the holes get longer and you're no longer hitting a wedge into the green.
There are a few quirky holes like 7. It's a dogleg right but you must hit a long iron off the tee, you must strike the ball well or you will be in the water and if you hit driver or 3 wood you will hit thru the fairway.
The greens rolled true. This is a course you must play. I will be back
Challenging course layout, but very well done!
Enjoyed on a great NC day, low humidity and reasonable temps. The course had very challenging holes, but played smart will provide a great reward. Choose the right clubs, understand the site lines and landing areas, and you will have a great time.
Great Course Layout
This was my third time playing Oak Valley. It is a challenging course with plenty of sand bunkers. Course is well cared for and a great layout. Well worth the weekly rate.
Short Grass
Keep it in the short grass that Ruff was Rough . And keep your eye on your ball if heading towards it…Not complaining love the challenge 🏌🏿
Oak Valley
Course was in great concdition 2 days after Tropical storm. Staff was nice all around. Talked to a few members and all very helpful and friendly.
Great course
There was a club tournament before we tee off. But the pace was not bad 415 minutes. Greens were slow but very good. Will play again.staff was great.
Fun layout
Course in great condition. Greens excellent. Plenty of challenging shots with fairly placed hazards.
Excellent condition
This course presents itself like a private course. The layout is excellent and the condition matches it. I would love to play here every week. Hope to be back on a monthly basis.
