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.

Good course, greens not completely healed from aeration, but relatively smooth. Started at 2:30, no beverage cart, and halfway house (restaurant) closed by the time I finished 9, so that was disappointing. Good layout, would like to play again when greens were in better shape.
Sandy greens.
Greens were very Sandy but still rolled good. Weather ws perfect. All in all a good day. 74. Off the white tees
First Visit
You could tell the course is well above average even when the fairways are still half dead. I got a great deal on GolfNow, but I would pay full price to play this course again. Only down down side was the pace of play, but other than that I give this course an 8.5 out of 10.
Excellent Course
I truly enjoyed playing this course for the first time.
The weather was perfect and the course layout is outstanding!
I look forward to playing there again soon!
Oak Valley
One of my favorite courses. Fairways still dormant, lots of divots, cart path only due to recent rain and fairways a little wet. Got mud on ball several times throughout the day. Very slow play due to number of golfers, especially about 3 groups ahead of us that were playing golf for 1st time. Warm breezy day. Greens were in good condition.
Good, not great
Was a good course, and you can tell it is a well maintained course. Had the unfortunate pleasure to play after a couple of days of rain, and everything was soaked. I was honestly surprised they were open, as it was so wet I feel like one hole on the back 9 actually gained a water hazard just to the front left of the green. The greens were unusually fast and dry, which was puzzling with as wet as everything else was. Either way, layout was nice, staff was great, but $65 seemed a tad overpriced, felt much more like a $50 course. Even with all that, I’ll be back when its “prime season” just to see it and play it when conditions are at their best.
give it a few weeks
This is a great course but I caught it on a day when a lot of maintenance was happening which affected play. They were fertilizing and doing something to rough up the fairways which made them very grainy - not smooth. Also many of the bunkers were very full of new, deep sand. Greens were good as always - very fast. .
Very Nice Course
Course was in very good condition. Greens were in very good condition. Fairway was in good condition for this time of year. Pace of play was great for the front 9 but slow on the back. People complain about price but it is the standard for this area. Much better than most other places like Raleigh, Charlotte, or places up north. One of the regular courses I play in the area. Very nice and challenging layout.
Just a great course
I have played here quite a few times. The greens are always good and if people would repair their ball marks, I’d call them nearly perfect.
My ONLY complaint is that they’ve raised their rates to an almost unreasonable point. I love the course but I may have to find another that’s more affordable.
Fun course
This course is set for everyone to enjoy. I found it very challenging, but fair. Try this course I am sure you will play it again and again. I know I will now.
Fun Tract
All in good condition.Got backed up on 16 tee but still managed to get around in 4:15. Open fairways, with a good variety of shots required. Would definitely recommend.
Great course
Paired up with couple also first time on the course. Challenging and conditions were exceptional. Highly recommend
