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 Course - Play it all the time

By far Oak Valley is my favorite course to play around me., one thing, its only 5 minutes away. Everything about it is in great condition and both nines excite me no matter how many times I play it. The greens also roll very good and true.

Beautiful Course

Went out on a Monday and played 18 in about 2 hours and 45 minutes. The fairways are a little spotty but still nice and the greens are fast and roll fantastic. The front nine is very nice with a lot of downhill shots and the back nine gets tighter and more difficult. The course played very nice and I will definitely be coming back!

Playable

Great condition from tee to green. Very enjoyable and playable from the blue tees which played 6600 yards. Also like where the bunkers were placed. Plenty enough challenges to keep you on your toes. Will definitely play again!

Challenging but Fair

This is one of my favorite courses in the area. It is a course that challenges you, but you can recover from your bad swings too. My only complaint from this latest round was the sand traps needed to be maintained a bit. This isn't normally the case. Perhaps the golf outing they had earlier in the day was the cause of their condition.

Nice

Nice green fairways and putting greens, grass was difficult to hit out of but that's part of the fun. There does need a ton of work on the bunkers though, they are very bad looking with valleys and most of the bunkers are extremely hard packed so that makes it no fun to try to hit out of for a non professional.

Fantastic course

Oak Valley is a great course to play for all handicaps.
The course is very straight forward and somewhat a challenge. As with many courses tee shots are very important to score well. Greens are in great shape and very readable. The staff at Oak Valley are fantastic and will assist you any way to make your day perfect. Thanks again for a great day and I will play your course again soon.

Great Course

Course is always in great shape. Great layout, lots of challenging holes, and the more you play it, the more you will learn how to play it. Staff is friendly. Pace of play is usually pretty quick. Cannot beat it anywhere for the price. Nice Palmer design.

Nice Layout

The pace of play was actually around 4.5 hours due to a foursome in front of us. But a beautiful day so not a big deal.
Keep it left on the approach to the 9th green, no matter where the flag is.

Great Course and challenging greens

The greens are usually pretty fast and several of them have some swerve to them. If you are looking for a risk reward course, this is it. Take a risk and miss the shot then bogey is a luxury. On the flip side hit the shot and your looking at a good score.

Poor choice for winter

Course poorly kept, likely due to recent weather. Water in bunkers, debris on green.
