Oak Hollow Golf Course

Oak Hollow Golf Course opened in 1972 as a municipal facility in High Point, North Carolina, representing one of Pete Dye's earlier public-access designs. The course occupies rolling terrain in the Piedmont region, where Dye worked with the natural topography to create a layout that incorporates his emerging design philosophy while remaining playable for a wide range of golfers. The property features mature hardwoods and several water features, including a lake that comes into play on multiple holes. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes throughout the property, with holes moving through wooded corridors and opening to more exposed areas around the water. Dye's characteristic use of railroad ties appears in several bunkers and around greens, though the design predates some of his more severe stylistic flourishes that would define later projects. The course stretches over 6,500 yards from the back tees and presents strategic options rather than overwhelming difficulty, making it accessible to municipal players while still offering challenge. Oak Hollow has served as a competitive venue for regional amateur events and collegiate tournaments, benefiting from its location in North Carolina's golf-rich Triad area. The facility operates as a public course managed by the City of High Point, maintaining Dye's design intent while serving a broad community of golfers. Its combination of Pete Dye design pedigree and public accessibility makes it a notable example of quality municipal golf in the Carolinas.
