Woodlake Resort and Country Club features two 18-hole championship golf courses, the Ellis Maples and the Arnold Palmer.

Two of the true legends of golf course architecture, Arnold Palmer and Ellis Maples, teamed up to design Woodlake’s two championship golf courses. The original course, The Maples Course, was built by Ed Seay and Ellis Maples in 1971 and is described by many golfers as one of the most challenging and beautiful in the Southeast with lush Bentgrass greens and hybrid bermuda fairways winding gracefully around the lake. The Palmer Course was completed in 1995 and is a combination of Dan Maples and Arnold Palmer-Ed Seay, inspired by Palmer’s belief in fair and challenging golf for all levels of play. As testimony to the previous excellent condition and championship layout, Woodlake has hosted the Carolinas’ PGA Match Play Championship, the North Carolina State High School Championships, and numerous local professional and amateur golf championships.
