An upscale course in a golf-rich Triad area, Oak Valley is a well-maintained, open modern layout with excellent practice facilities and a large clubhouse. Water, sand and menacing rough must be navigated as well as typically breezy conditions. Known as a course that requires accurate ballstriking. The bentgrass greens have a reputation for consistency. The par-3 16th, carved between tees on both sides with a creek running diagonal from right to left along the approach, snuggling the left side of the putting surface, is one of the local favorites. At 18, players drive between lakes before crossing a creek up toward the green.

About 10 minutes north of Interstate 40, Pudding Ridge offers a challenge in somewhat relaxed, rural surroundings. The modern layout has large bent greens with modest slopes. Many of the holes offer ample landing areas off the tee, though accurate driving is a premium on others. The layout opens with a gentle par-4 followed by a short, downhill par-3, providing a good chance for a strong start. Fairways and greens are typically in good condition. The most memorable hole may be the par-5 13th, featuring a creek down the right side with hilltop green that slopes sharply down into woods and water.
