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.

Excellent condition, Excellent test of golf, Excellent value

I have not played Oak Valley in a while. I had forgotten what a great golf course. One of the best manicured courses that I have played this year tee to green. The Arnold Palmer designed course is fair, but challenging. This course has great value when looking at cost, for what you get. Great day, great course and I look forward to getting back to Oak Valley sooner rather than later.

Good value

Have played Oakvalley many times and normally it is in very good condition . Considering what has happened to many of the other local courses after the unseasonably cold winter, I would have to consider the course’s current condition as very good. There were some areas that have been re-sodded and were very wet but overall the greens and fairways were in pretty good shape. On the front nine, we got behind a very slow group that didn’t seem to be particularly interested in letting anyone through. There were several foursomes backed up behind us. Fortunately a ranger came along and suggested that they let some groups through. Once we got through the slow group, it was smooth sailing the rest of the way. I hope the course will continue to at least occasionally send a Ranger around to help keep things moving along.as in the past this has been a problem here.

Good value - Course needs work

It is a good layout and the staff is friendly. The course underwent renovations within the last couple of years. However several fairways were not in good shape and the same was true of a few of the greens.

Oak Valley-Nice Course and Friendly Staff

I recently played a round here last Thursday, course was not busy in the afternoon and I played with my father and my son, three generations of golfers!

Course was in decent shape, the greens had been aerated several weeks earlier and were still growing in, however, greens rolled nicely and putts held their intended lines.

The staff was very nice to my 10-year old son and allowed him to ride with us for free!! Thanks so much Oak Valley and I will be sure to visit you guys in the near future!

Oak Valley Visit

An excellent Arnold Palmer design, great layout which

I find a lot of fun to play, I play from the white tees which is plenty challenging and gives me some good opportunities to score. The bermuda grass is not completely out but the course is in fine shape.

Not yet ,,,,,,

Call the pro shop to ask about the greens and course conditions. Oh course they lied and said it was in great shape. The greens hasn't fully recovered from being punched and some of the fairways had no grass and looks like mud. Was told it's bird poop . No seriously it was. whatever the case the course ain't worth $40 after 12 in those conditions. Did however like the course layout.Maybe in another month or two the course will represent Arnold Palmer name better.
