About Oakwoods Country Club
Oakwoods Country Club is the Wilkesboro NC neighborhood you land on when you tell your buyer broker that you want a golf-course home, a real yard, and a five-minute drive to the Lowes corporate campus without paying Charlotte or Triad prices. The community wraps around an 18-hole Tom Jackson designed golf course that opened in 1954, one of the older tournament-quality courses in the western Piedmont.
The core streets follow the golf course perimeter — Country Club Road, Forest Drive, Clubhouse Road, Oakwoods Lane, Town N Country Drive — with newer interior sections along Twelve Oaks Lane, Regal Oaks Drive, and Oak Gables Drive. Home construction spans 1965 to 1995 for the majority of the neighborhood, with a smaller cluster of newer custom builds from 2005 to 2020 on the larger interior parcels. Original homes are primarily brick ranches, split-levels, and traditional two-story colonial-style homes. Newer builds tend toward transitional and modern-farmhouse styles.
What sets Oakwoods apart from every other Wilkesboro subdivision is the lot size. Typical parcels run 0.47 to 0.76 acres, with estate lots along Town N Country Drive stretching to 1, 2, or even 3 acres. That is roughly double the lot size you get in a newer Triad subdivision, and it is a big part of why Oakwoods holds value in slow markets. Buyers who move here rarely leave for a bigger yard because the yard is already generous.
Most sections of Oakwoods have no formal HOA, though a handful of newer sub-sections along Twelve Oaks and Regal Oaks Drive carry voluntary neighborhood associations with modest annual dues covering shared landscape and entrance maintenance. Club membership is separate from real estate ownership, which surprises buyers coming from Charlotte-area country club neighborhoods where membership is often mandatory. In Oakwoods, you can buy a home on the 12th fairway and never join. Many owners do join for pool, tennis, or golf, but the choice is yours.
The typical Oakwoods buyer in 2026 falls into three groups. First, Lowes corporate professionals and Wilkes Regional Medical Center staff who want a country club address on a country club salary. Second, retirees relocating from Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, or northern Virginia who want a golf-course lifestyle at 40 to 50 percent of comparable prices. Third, second-home buyers who split time between Oakwoods and the High Country. All three groups get their money worth in this neighborhood because appreciation here is steady rather than volatile — roughly 4 to 5 percent a year with almost no boom-and-bust risk.
