Little River Golf & Resort: One of North Carolina's Premier Golf Resorts

Little River is one of the area's Premier golf resorts. It is a Golf Digest "award winner" and was chosen by The Washington Golf Monthly as "A Best New Course for 1996." Already a landmark in the world of equestrian sports, Little River has now become a legend among world-class golf resorts. Sculptured from 450 acres of rolling hills and featuring nearly 200-foot elevation changes, Little River Golf & Resort's course offers narrow rivers and thick forests.

Little River Golf & Resort's History

Renowned golf course architect, Dan Maples, established Little River Golf & Resort in 1996. Maples was born only a few miles from the waters of the Little River, and has brought a dedication to this course that no other architect could. His achievement is both a gift to the golf resort community where he grew up and a challenging experience for golfers everywhere.
