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.

Gem!

This place is a gem! For an October round the course was in amazing condition. A challenging track that really puts a premium on hitting fairways. Great green complexes and the staff in the proshop were great! Got paired with some locals which helped since it was my first time there! Grab some sweet fall deals at 20% in the shop too 👍

A Favorite Course

Overall, course in great condition. Was able to book online with a Value time and with $10 Golf Pass credit. Great deal for this course. Greens were a little slower than normal for this course. Even though booked as a fourth of three already signed up, ended up playing alone. Was not held up much though. Nice day to be on the course.

Labor Day Weekend

Greens were punched about 3 weeks ago but they were in great shape, soft. Every shot I hit into a green almost stoped immediately. Love the layout of the front nine, that is all I time to play. Can’t wait to play all 18.

Awesome, but….

Fantastic course, layout and staff. Only issue for me were the ball marks. I mean holy smokes. Good look putting a true line to the hole. I’d have take twenty minutes on the green just to fix all the ball marks in my putting line😂. Other than that it’s a great course. Obviously not the staffs fault but more hope the criminals not fixing their ball marks see this

FIX YOUR BALL MARKS ON GREENS!!!

That should be a sign that is put on every green at the course. The only complaint I have with Oak Valley is that people just don’t care or don’t know how to repair ball marks on the greens. Not the course’s fault obviously, but it really was bad on the putting surface.

Almost A Five Star

The golf course was REALLY nice and playable while really challenging for all levels in out group. The greens were in “good” shape, but I would have rated them “excellent” and given a 5 star overall EXCEPT FOR the awful ball mark damage on the greens. Not the course’s fault obviously. I mean, if you don’t repair your ball marks on the green you ought not be out on the course!!

Played Oak Valley on a weekend trip to Winston-Salem. I don't typically write reviews but this course was too deserving of 5 stars. Amazing conditions/layout for the price, the perfect amount of difficulty. Couldn't have asked for a better overall experience!

Great course, Beware

Course was in exceptional condition, for the time of year and not having had much rain. The front nine is somewhat challenging if you're a first timer. Do not bother stopping at the turn for refreshments or something to eat, the service is poor and the food, not any better. The back nine is as challenging as always, ball placement is a must. At the time we played there were a number of holes " cart path only" and being mobility challenged, made play quite difficult. Some of the hazards are poorly marked and obvious G.U.R. was not marked. I guess it's up to your discretion, not a problem, unless you play by the rules. None of the above challenges were brought to our attention at time of check-in, and no considerations allowed for my limitations.

All in all, we had a good time and enjoyed the lay-out of the course.
