Course Highlights
Woodlake CC's post-renovation layout earns top marks for its challenging design, immaculate fairways, and fast, pure greens that rival nearby Sandhills resort courses. Exceptionally welcoming staff and outstanding value make this a standout booking in the Pinehurst area.

The natural beauty of Woodlake is mirrored in reflections upon the water that now covers the shallow basin where once meandered the estuaries of Cypress and Crane's Creeks. These fertile waterways encouraged a thriving habitat for wildlife and vegetation that continues to exist today.With this vision also came a plan to build a spectacular golf course dedicated to the waterfront, and architect Ellis Maples completed the task in grand style, designing an exciting course with the lake coming into play in nine of the eighteen holes.

Great Course

Last minute booking while down in the Pinehurst area. Course didn’t disappoint! Challenging, in good condition. Can’t wait to play it again when the lake is full of water again! At the turn snack shake was a welcome sight and A+++ for service!

Must Play!

The reconstruction project at Woodlake is outstanding! One of, if not the best layout/design in the Southern Pines area. Conditions were excellent for a new course only 18 months old. Will only get better with time. Nice new clubhouse with full amenities. Definitely a hidden gem that shouldn't be hidden for long as everyone that enjoys high end golf courses will put this one in their top 5 for sure.
