Dan Maples built an extensive portfolio of courses across the American Southeast, with particular concentration in the Carolinas and coastal resort markets. His work spans public daily-fee layouts and private clubs, including Sound Golf Links at Albemarle Plantation in North Carolina, Providence Country Club in Charlotte, and the Apple Valley course at Rumbling Bald Resort in Lake Lure. The Longleaf Golf & Family Club in Southern Pines and multiple courses at Keith Hills reflect his range across the Sand Hills and Piedmont regions.
Maples designed several well-known layouts in South Carolina's Grand Strand golf corridor, among them The Witch and The Wizard near Myrtle Beach, Heritage Club and Willbrook Plantation in Pawleys Island, and courses at Sea Trail and Sandpiper Bay near Sunset Beach. He also contributed to multi-course properties such as Fords Colony Country Club in Virginia, where Blackheath, Blue Heron, and Marsh Hawk bear his name.
His work extends from Maine (Dunegrass Golf Club) to Georgia (The Orchard) and into Tennessee, demonstrating a career focused on accessible, regionally grounded golf design across diverse topographies.
