Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, North Carolina, operates three 18-hole golf courses that were designed by Ellis Maples and built in phases beginning in the early 1970s. The Highland Course, opened first, features rolling terrain and several water hazards, including a notable lake that comes into play on the par-3 17th. The Creek Course winds through wooded areas and follows Crabtree Creek for several holes, with natural drainage channels that influence shot selection. The Cardinal Course, added later, presents a flatter layout with open fairways and fewer trees. All three courses share a single 45,000-square-foot clubhouse that was renovated in 2003 and includes a pro shop, locker rooms, and a 300-seat ballroom. The club maintains a driving range with both natural grass and artificial turf tees, and a separate short-game practice area with two practice greens and a bunker. Membership includes access to tennis courts, a fitness center, and a swimming pool complex. The property sits on roughly 400 acres along Prestonwood Parkway, about four miles north of downtown Cary.
