Maples make for a winning combination.
As partners, at home and in the workplace, their formula for success has been hard work to raise four children and build one of the most successful golf course design firms in the country. Joyce, a native of Carthage, and Dan, who grew up in Pinehurst, have been together since high school. And while times have changed since Joyce helped Dan pass high school English, they still rely on one another. Joyce handles the bookkeeping and business operations for Dan Maples Design, Inc., while Dan's creativity gives life to unique designs that become signature golf courses across the country and throughout the world. They share the business with a handful of employees as close as family.
