Dan Maples, has created another masterpiece only minutes from the Village of
Pinehurst. The Longleaf Golf & Country Club was formerly the site of Starland
Farms, for years the training ground of some of the country’s top
thoroughbreds. As a tribute to its colorful history, Maples incorporated some
of the features and flavor of the old facility into the golf course, including
part of the fence and training track. The front nine at Longleaf was designed
in the Scottish open style with subtly rolling fairways. The back nine, in
contrast, is heavily tree-lined with dramatic elevation changes.
