KEITH HILLS GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Lillington, NC, USA
Designed by Dan Maples



Keith Hills Golf Course sits in Lillington, a small town in Harnett County roughly thirty miles south of Raleigh. Dan Maples designed the facility, which features multiple nine-hole layouts that can be combined into different eighteen-hole configurations. The Orange and Black nines form one such pairing, offering golfers a routing through gently rolling terrain characteristic of North Carolina's Piedmont transition zone.
Maples, a prolific architect in the Carolinas during the latter decades of the twentieth century, typically worked with the natural topography and vegetation of a site rather than imposing dramatic earthwork. At Keith Hills, the course moves through stands of mature pine and hardwood, with fairways that follow the land's modest elevation changes. Water features appear on several holes, and bunkers are positioned to challenge approach shots and frame greens. The layout accommodates a range of skill levels, with forward tees providing accessible yardages while back tees extend the challenge for stronger players.
The facility serves both daily-fee golfers and a local membership base. Keith Hills has operated as a community course for the region, providing a straightforward test of golf without the elaborate conditioning or amenities of higher-end clubs. The Orange/Black combination offers a complete round that reflects Maples' regional design sensibility: playable, wooded, and shaped by the rolling landscape of central North Carolina.
