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.

Always fine course
Never been disappointed at Oak Valley. Nice conditions and friendly staff.
Great layout
Always packed causing the pace of play to be slow- 5 hours minimum
Best course ever
This place is Heaven. Everything is so awesome. Highly recommend
Great course
Super fun to play; great challenge. First time playing here, so I had to learn some lessons, but overall I had a great time.
Best course in North Carolina
Absolutely perfect condition and the layout is unbelievable. Every hole was a great adventure. I highly recommend this place
It was a great day on the course
I've played Oak Vally many times and have never been disappointed. This round was no different except for the fact I played with Ta, maintenance and Hogan, Assistant Pro. They were the perfect hosts and let me see the course in a new light. I will be back soon.
This golf course was in PGA conditions.
This golf course was in excellent conditions from tee to green.
Oak Valley golf Club is a 5 star course.
Nice course, friendly staff
First time playing there. My friend Eric and I booked a twosome for afternoon. We got paired with two guys. Started around 2:00pm and finished around 6:15pm. Suggest using yardage books, digital devices and local knowledge if available for course layout. Lots of hidden creeks and ponds not in view from the tee. Greens were in good shape. Will play again. Good value.
Good shspe
We have not played here in a while. Course was in good shape and was fun to play. Unfortunately we had a foursome in front of us that thought they were playing the PGA and took forever to get off the Tee Box and green.
This was a nice course to play. Course was in great shape and very challenging with lots of trouble to get into with wayward shots. I finished my round on a Tuesday in 4 hours. I love Arnold Palmer designs and this did not disappoint. ROUND WAS $40 ON Golf Now but they only charged me $32 because I qualified for their senior rate which was a first for me. Definately worth my 1 1/2 hour drive from Charlotte.
Definite play if you're in the area
Routing of holes is pretty bland but a good job of desiging each hole. What I mean by that is each hole is a little different but there is no overall flow. You feel like you're just playing around at a municipal.
You have to be able to carry the ball to good measurements because of forced carry over hazards. I personally love that as I'm a high ball flight/low spin player but if you can't fly the ball with ease you'll struggle get on the green.
Greens were rolling very well. The course spends time not just maintaining the grass on the greens but all around it as well. It seems like the greens are the focal point. with the bunkering, landscaping, cart pathing around...very well planned out greens.
Hole 1 and Hole 10 has over seeding and extra fairway maintenance I guess to give you great first impression but the rest of the fairways are good, just not as great as these first two.
Beautiful course that is plenty of fun & appropriately challenging
Played here for the first time yesterday, and the conditions were immaculate. Course is well maintained, a lot of fun from hole to hole with all the textbook North Carolina elevation changes. The course has wide fairways, huge greens, and its fair share of bunkers and hazards from fairway to green. Liked it so much that I didn't even get through maybe 10 holes before booking another round for the very next day lol.
Pace of play was really slow, but I was told that day's pace was a complete anomaly compared to the usual pace. It does have a range and a big putting green too. Course marshall and staff were very friendly and helpful. Great find of a course, especially for the price ($40 for a full round).
Always Fun
Greens were excellent, fairways still coming out, some tees could use some work, but overall in good condition. Had t wait on every shot on front nine, but picked up on the back. Wish they had a marshal, but that’s true everywhere. Good track
Excellent course
Took a little while to check us in, but staff was super friendly. Great golf course, some blind tee shots which was probably the issue for pace of play.. 4.5 hours.
A little understaffed in the kitchen, which was an issue at the turn and again at the end of the round, so ended up eating elsewhere.
Excellent course in very good condition..
Highly Recommend Course
One of my favorite courses in the area. Great value, layout, course conditions and amenities.
