Ellis Maples mastered his craft under the guidance of legendary Donald Ross and then branched out to create some of NC's top courses. At CCWP, golf enthusiasts enjoy two of Maples' finest works, the East and West courses. The East course is an Ellis Maples classic with Donald Ross influence in the way it follows the natural contours of the land, by the position of the sand traps and shaping of the greens. It is simply 7,094 yards of "no-gimmick" golf. Stray from the center line and lies decay rapidly! Length, accuracy, a solid short game and artful putting strokes are needed to master this test. CCWP is 5 miles from Pinehurst and 50 miles from Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Affordable golf packages feature 40+ area golf courses. Group golf outing welcome.
