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.

Fantastic!!!
First time playing and really enjoyed the round. A true Arnold Palmer risk reward layout. You definitely need to think each shot. Now that we've played once we'll certainly be back.
Great course, rude maintenance workers
The course is very nice and the pro shop attendant was very friendly and helpful, However, out on the course a couple of the maintenance crew were extremely rude and actually made us wait to hit shots while they performed non-urgent tasks. When my playing partner complained at the pro shop, he was told they had received similar complaints from others. Why not instruct the maintenance crew about some simple etiquette for the people who are paying their salaries?!
Thanks Arnold...
Arnold Palmer and team designed a great layout with lots of risk-reward shots. The starter didn't like having a blind first shot though!
The tee boxes provide different unique challenges. Watch out for #7!
Dissapointed there was no beverage cart on a Sunday afternoon with temps in mid-upper 90's.
Great condition , good price and value.
Always love playing at Oak Valley..
Great layout in great shape
This course has a fantastic layout and its in as good of shape as i ve seen in years . Great place go play
Always a great choice
Course was in great shape; greens are the best they have been in years! Lightning fast.
Would go again today if I wasn't already booked at another course.
A must play!
Great value
Played on a Tuesday and never had to wait, course is in great shape and very reasonably priced. Hard to beat if looking for a good public course.
Nice Course and Good Time
This was my first time playing Oak Valley. My friends that I played with have played there many times. We chose Oak Valley due to the heavy rains that we received the day before and my friends said that the course drains very well. They were right. The course is in good shape and although it was cart path only, we really enjoyed our round. This course has lots of elevation change and challenging holes. The greens were in good shape and will be better as the summer and warmer weather arrives. This course I can see as a very big challenge when it drys out and gets warm. It was definitely a good experience and I will be back in the very near future. Great golf now rate as well!
What a great course !
This Arnold Palmer designed course was everything I had hoped it would be. My lifetime friend and I played on a beautiful day and dispite the aeriated greens, we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. I drove 50 min to get here and will be glad to do it again. We are definitely coming back to this jewel. Highly recommend.
Great course
Great course conditions and friendly staff. Everything was also reasonably priced especially for the environment it was it.
Greens were very good.
Played as a threesome on a Monday afternoon. Good pace as it was not very busy. Challenging layout with interesting line choices. Greens were firm and quick, rolling true. Lots of unrepaired ball marks on the greens. A couple of bunkers weren't groomed, which is always disappointing. Overall, great experience.
Great Value
My group and I took advantage of a last minute deal so no way we can complain about the value. But at 3 times what we paid it still would have been good. The greens were the fastest I've played this year and rolled true. The course was wet but compared to many I've played after lots or rain it was above average. Will return for sure.
Great layout, conditions questionable
We have always enjoyed playing here. The range (and balls) could use an upgrade. I know it is winter golf, but some sand in the bunkers and having them raked does not seem too much to ask for $39.
the king
Fair ways are narrow and lots of hazard very hard to drive it as usual of Palmer course. Green rolls great. Best green I ever played. One thing I don't like is some holes has so many houses prevent nice view.If there are trees instead of houses it would be much better view.
First time is the charm
After some recent heavy rains I was unsure of what I might encounter on my first trip to Oak Valley. Yes there were signs throughout of the recent deluge (washed out bunkers, standing water in a few bunkers, carts on the paths only, some low lying soggy spots, over flow around the creeks), but all in all the course was in good shape for a blustery fall day. The greens were firm and true. The fairways and tees were in good condition as well. Even having to keep the carts on the paths did not slow our pace as we made our way around in just about 4 hours. I was fortune to be paired with a nice young man (Matt) who had played the track before and was gracious enough to share his knowledge with me. All in all a great day of golf on a really challenging and wonderful course. I can hardly wait to take another trip around this place.
Great start to our NC vacation
Even though we were on the cart path all day, had a great day at this course to start a 5 day golf vacation. The course was in good shape under the very wet conditions with good drainage, undulating greens, great fairways, and beautiful scenery on the course.
course getting better
the course is really getting in really good shape. It has come a long ways from where it was. Greens where nice and speedy.
Pretty good course with a few silly holes
Overall a solid course. Holes 5 and 6 don't make sense to me. 13 and 14 are basically the same hole, long dogleg left's'.
That being said its a solid course for the $.
Staff was rude
Staff did not like us showing up 55 minutes before i tee time because we used the cheap tee time thru golfnow.
Golf
Course had some bad winter kill on front but greens were good and back was in good shape
