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 little rough but a good layout

Played Saturday afternoon, hardly anybody on the course, Was able to maneuver through 18 pretty quickly. The greens were a little rough, but it can happen on any course. The fairways were beautiful and the layout was challenging. I will play here again

Enjoyed my round

Great course I hate I've never taken the time to visit before today. Layout was great my partner was great and the staff was great. My only knocks against this course is I never saw a cart girl and too many people do not replace their divots which ultimately would be a problem for the course.

. Other than that this was a great round

Nice Course

This course is well kept and fun. Bent grass greens in pretty good shape especially considering it’s summer time. Some ball marks but that’s because people are not always considerate golfers. I recommend this course to anyone that asks.

First class experience

The course was in great shape for the middle of the summer. Nothing was burned out. The greens were a little slow, but that is understandable this time of year the temps were in the 90’s. It was top rate in just about every respect.

Only two very minor issues. First was the 15th tee had new sod put in not long ago forcing all play to the forward tee. This changed the hole from a par 5 to a par 4. Second thing was the cart had water trapped inside the roof. It was a bit odd to listen to it slosh around when driving.

Neither of these issues would keep me from playing this course.

Bottom line. If you’re in the Triad area. Play Oak Valley you won’t regret it.

Solid Choice

Hot and dry but course is in good shape. Player friendly, with mostly wide fairways and large greens , but you get to use all the clubs in the bag. Always enjoyable.

No Ranger

Great course,staff,etc...However, Was a single playing around 2pm. Several groups were held up by a 4some (which included a walker) the entire day. No thought of letting the smaller,faster group/s (playing behind them) through..Not really a reflection on a great course but be prepared for a lengthy round. This was a Wednesday. Not a weekend..A ranger could perhaps help speed things along. The 4some appeared to be members as well..
