Maples Course Now Open After Major Restoration Project

We’re thrilled to welcome golfers back to the Maples Course following a major restoration project that has completely transformed the playing experience.

Initial work began in November 2024, with the course officially closing on Sunday, May 18, 2025, to complete the renovation. This marks the second major golf course restoration for the resort in just two years, following the successful Byrd Course renovation in October 2024.

Highlights of the Maples Restoration:

New TifEagle Bermuda Greens – Premium putting surfaces for a smoother, more consistent roll. These are the same high-quality greens featured on the Byrd Course and both practice greens at Maples and Jones Byrd.
Reimagined Course Layout & Architecture – A bold new fairway cut design with widened fairways (from 14 acres to 40 acres), expanded natural areas, and ornamental grasses, creating a unique playing experience unlike anything else in the region.
Cart Path Removal – Eliminated rough cart paths for a smoother ride through natural waste areas or designated paths.
Upgraded Irrigation – New green-surround irrigation heads to help keep the turf healthier, greener, and more consistent, all year long.
New directional Signage to guide you smoothly from hole to hole.
New Golf Cart Fleet – New top-of-the-line Club Car golf carts with Visage GPS, Bluetooth technology, and soon the ability to order food and beverages directly from your cart.
Enhanced Turf & Landscaping – Newly sodded areas, refreshed tee boxes, and upgraded course aesthetics.

In conjunction with the course renovation, the Maples Clubhouse also closed and will not reopen at this time. All guests will now check-in at the Jones Byrd Clubhouse. Click here to learn more about the brand-new check-in process.
