Oak Valley Golf Club
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.

A very good course close to home
The golf club I belong to is renovating the course. So I am unable to play there for some time. Oak Valley has proven to be a consistently good option. The course is good and the staff is friendly. I recommend it.
Course Great
Second time I played this Summer and felt like members and other folks were looking down on me as an outsider. The girl at the Grill was slow at the turn and seemed to be a bit out of sorts, I think the group of members gathered around a big table there had been rude and demanding of her.
The question of would you recommend this course to a friend, would be yes, if you can overlook the snobbery of the regulars.
Fabulous condition and layout
First time playing here and shot my best round this year. The course conditions were excellent. It has a great layout and feels like a private course. I was disappointed that the snack bar closed before 6pm. I would love to be a member here and play every week. Unfortunately, it's too far from home. Hope to come back every few months.
Fishing trip
Was in the area fishing and decided to get a round in. My son and I got matched up with a local 2 some. Really enjoyed the course. For $60 on the weekend I think we got a steal. I liked the layout of the course. Very nice. Would have been $100+ course at home in PA. Reminded my of a nicer Myrtle Beach Course. Greens and bunkers were in good shape. Fairways and tee boxes as well. Played from whites. Shot 86. 15yr old son shot 79. Few holes make ya think. Not just driver wedge , driver wedge.
Greens
Greens were in good shape... they just seemed slow.. I would rather putt on fast greens.
Super nice, but also felt uncomfortable.
The discomfort did not come from the staff or how the course was conditioned. I felt out of place, like I had to be a better golfer than I am. I thought the golfers I came in contact with looked at me like I was encroaching on their territory.
stolen rangefinder
played course on March 31st and left my rangefinder at the course ( brother had just passed away 2 days earlier) I realized I had left it there when I got home (50 miles away) I called the course and they said that they had it and that they would put my name and number on it.(much appreciated) a week later some guy (didn't leave his name) from the course called me and said it was still there. replayed the course on 5/19 and ask for my rangefinder but they couldn't find it, came back into clubhouse after round and a different guy looked and found the paper with my name and number on it that was wrapped around my rangefinder but No Rangefinder, basically they Stole my rangefinder ( no matter if they gave it away or kept it for themselves) with NO Apologies.

Group behind rushing
Group of a few guys who were experienced were pushing my group the whole day. Not a fun experience when you’re trying to enjoy yourself out there and keep getting rushed and almost getting hit by golf balls.
Course is in great condition
Cource was in great condition,probably still is. Teed off at 3pm on a Friday off the course by 7.
First time I swung my clubs in almost a year and it showed, it was my partners 5th time out.
Jammed up
It was so jammed up the last 3 holes that I went home.
Oak Valkey, good layout good value
Found the course in good shape this time of year, the greens had been punched a month or so ago and still filling in nicely.
Still Recovering
Greens punched a few weeks ago and are still a bit bumpy and slow. Some of the fairways still sloppy with rain a few days ago. Grass on fairways and tees still waiting. Good course, usually in excellent shape, but not there yet.
