Over thirty years ago, Ellis Maples, inspired by a picturesque, rolling track of land in the Pinehurst NC area, carved out another challenge for golfers in the Sandhills. His work, The Woods Golf Club, stands as a credit to him and is a pleasure for many. Dan Maples, son of Ellis and renowned golf course architect in his own right, described The Woods Golf Club this way: “It is a golf course designed with the average player in mind, but good players won’t find a pushover. The well-groomed condition of the course enhances the design and complements the roll of the land. Golfers experience left to right, short shots, long shots, uphill and downhill holes.” The Woods Golf Club underwent a major renovation in 2013, with the installation of 18 brand new Champion Bermuda Ultradwarf greens.
