The Course

Oakwoods Country Club is nestled in the foothills of North Carolina among the ghosts of moonshiners and NASCAR. The club opened in 1954 with the original 9 holes designed by Arthur Hamm, a student and former apprentice of the great Donald Ross. Local design legend, Ellis Maples finished the 18 hole layout with an additional 9 that opened in 1964. The course underwent a facelift in 1971 by architect Tom Jackson and was again restored to all its glory in 2000 and 2001 by architect Kris Spence. Spence modernized the greens and tees giving the course its signature fast playing surfaces.

The course is challenging with many elevation changes throughout. Views of the surrounding Blue Ridge and Brushy Mountains may steal your attention during the round. Although the course is short by many of today's standards, it is truly a shot maker's golf course. Dog legs, bunkers, and water challenge you around every turn. Hit the big drive and leave yourself a short iron into some holes, but be careful as there is trouble awaiting the errant shot. Once you have found the fairway, the real challenge begins. Well guarded greens accept the well struck shots, but true to the old fashioned design of the course, an errant approach will leave a difficult up and down to salvage par. Greens that roll 9.5 to 10 on the Stimp Meter will challenge even the best putters.

Booking Tee Times

Members may book a reserved tee time for themselves and their guests by calling the pro shop at 336-838-3011. You may change the terms of a reservation (i.e. date, time) by calling the pro shop no later than 48 hours prior to the scheduled tee time. Please understand that failure to cancel your reservation without proper notice denies OCC the opportunity to offer that reservation to another member or guest. Your cooperation in this matter will make for a better golfing experience for everyone. If you are interested in booking a group (8 or more players) golf outing, please speak with our PGA Professional Randy McCoy to make your plans.

It is the decision of OCC to determine if the golf course is unfit for play due to weather. While every best effort is made to honor all reservations as is, Oakwoods Country Club reserves the right to amend any reservation when legitimate, unforeseen circumstances arise including, but not limited to, inclement weather, unscheduled (required) golf course maintenance and other unplanned events. In most cases, members and guests will be notified in advance of any unscheduled changes.

Junior Golf

The junior golf program at OCC is one of the finest available in the area. This summer we will offer two 4 day clinics for our juniors, one in June and one in August. Juniors between 5 and 15 years of age may sign up for one, or both, clinics. The enrollment fee for each clinic will be $75 per participant. Each of the four days will feature three and one-half to four hours of instruction including swing instruction, competitive drills, golf etiquette, and on-course playing. Drinks and snacks will be provided each day. At the end of each clinic, the kids will be treated to a swim day at the pool complete with a cookout and awards ceremony. Also, each junior will be given an Oakwoods logo shirt and cap. Clinics are limited to the first 40 kids to enroll.

Junior golf is area of emphasis at OCC. We believe golf can teach children many lessons in sportsmanship, etiquette and competition. Great pros and even greater parents are the main reasons that the game has treated many of us so well. Our goal is to offer the best junior golf instruction possible, while maintaining a fun but safe environment. Juniors must adhere to the golf course dress code. Juniors should be attired in slacks or Bermuda shorts. Shirts must have collars, and caps must be worn with the bill facing forward. Shirts must be tucked in at all times. NO JEANS OR SWEATS.
