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.

Fun layout.

This is a fun course to play, because of all the little twist and turns, and the greens will challenge your patient for 18 hole, which i love, no let up.

Great Value

This is a really great course for the money, however it is not for a beginner. It was cart path only because of all the rain we’ve had so l wouldn’t recommend cart path only play but I would rather walk in these conditions but was playing with some older players and it wore us out. We weren’t rushed at all, we arrived early not knowing how much traffic we would travel in and the staff was very friendly and let us go on out because no one had a tee time we were thankful for that because it took about an hour longer than we thought because it had been a long time since they had played the course and didn’t remember the layout and it was my first time playing the course .

Greens too fast

Course layout is great. Course forgiveness is great. Greens are too fast unless you are a PGA pro. Every putt must be online at proper speed or you will be 6, 8, 12 feet passed the hole.

Most enjoyable

The course was wet in some places and the wind blew leaves onto the very fast almost perfect greens. The sun was shining so it was a very enjoyable round of golf in November. The course is pretty much in front of you without any surprises. Very well laid out and maintained.

Fast greens.

The course is in great shape. The recent rain left some wet areas and mud balls but was very playable. The wind was blowing leaves on the greens and increased the difficulty putting these fast greens. All in all an enjoyable round for November.

Solid Golf Course

Very nice course, with good deals on GolfNow. Able to play ball down. Enjoyable layout. Bent greens in good shape and relatively fast. Greenside and fairway bunkers are in good shape, but sand type and density is not my favorite. Bunkers are too full of soft sand, making bunker shots more difficult. Overall a very enjoyable course to play, and I look forward to playing it again.
