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.

Top 5 Public in the Triad

Oak Valley is a great track. The practice facility is one of the best that I've experienced so far in the Triad area. Lots of targets to aim at, as well as a large short game area.

Course was really nice. Great layout. Good mix of easy holes to make birdie and challenging holes where par is a good score. Even though the tips said 7000 yards, it didn't feel like it played that long. Lots of elevation changes, with very few uphill shots.

Nice shape, friendly staff.

Course was in very good shape and play moved along well for the heat of summer. The sand traps were in poor condition, making me think they have some extensive maintenance in the plan soon. This course is consistently in great shape and you'll enjoy a challenging round.

Good Layout

Course is in good shape. Greens are a little soft, but reasonably fast. Some holes are pretty easy after you play the course a couple of times. Otherwise it can be challenging. One thing to not is the distance makers are sparse studio bring a finder.

Great Track

First time playing this course, it was really nice. Nice facilities, great course and well maintained. The greens rolled true, and were challenging. The course layout made us have to hit shots, not just tee it up and hit a driver every time. I will def go back.

Average Course

Greens were covered in unrepaired ball marks and the sand was reminiscent of wet, red clay. Overall it was a solid course for the cost, but there are much nicer courses in the area with similar greens fees.

Most enjoyable course this summer

My teen son describes course as highly scenic with neat elevation changes, and gives compliments to course design around water. Traps need sand therapy. A must play with generous fairway landings and soft greens. Placement of several tee shots demands some left brain energy. Staff were very attentive and helpful.

Great course for the money

Played late in the day with a 5:15 tee time. Didint have to stop one time on the front nine. Once we made the turn there was a 5sum which held us up a bit but we let the single behind us play with us and it was fine. The way we felt is how can we complain when were playing on this beautiful course. The greens were soft. Tough to read each green ran different. Just like a woman they all were girls just played different. Overall great course. Will play again real soon.

Very nice public course that has country club feel

A really nice layout that is in wonderful condition. Course feels very open from the tee and presents a good chance to score on most holes. Although the course plays through a high end residential development the houses do not intrude on the course.

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!

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!
