Governors Club is an award-winning 1,600-acre, private golf community located five miles south of Chapel Hill, NC, that has continued to build on its considerable reputation since its founding in 1988.

Part of its allure is that Chapel Hill is part of the internationally-known Research Triangle Park, home to 40 major corporations and convenient to Raleigh Durham International Airport, Durham and Raleigh, the state capital. Together, they offer Governors Club residents a wide variety of cultural and arts activities, educational opportunities, sporting events and medical services.

This vibrant area is blessed with a unique mixture of small town charm and big city attractions. Fortune Magazine named the Triangle the Nation’s Top Area for Business and Consumers Guide ranked it as the No. 1 to Retire in America. And Money Magazine named it the No. 1 Place to Live. 

During one week, you could attend a symphony concert, sign up for continuing education classes at one of three universities or go bass fishing in nearby Jordan Lake.  

Children find an escape at the playground.

27 Holes by Jack Nicklaus
While Governors Club provides its members with a wide variety of amenities, golf occupies center stage within the community. Here you will find 27 holes of golf designed by Jack Nicklaus who combined challenge and beauty in perfect harmony.

Be careful--the views can take your eye off your game.

The layout follows the contours of Edwards Mountain, skirting serene lakes and quiet woodlands and winding through the neighborhoods of Governors Club. This is a design that stimulates golfers to produce their best games, rewarding those who think their way around the course, rather than simply attempting to overpower it. You could play here every day without losing your enthusiasm for the challenge that awaits you on this magnificent Jack Nicklaus masterpiece

Play on six clay hydro tennis courts.

The tennis, fitness and swim facilities include six clay hydro courts, a pro shop and snack bar with grill, an outdoor swimming pool, a children's pool and playground, and an open-air pavilion. The fitness center includes an indoor pool, cardiovascular weight and aerobics rooms, shower facilities and an outdoor jogging path.

Museums, Festivals and More

The North Carolina Museum of History, The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh showcases the state’s wildlife, flora and environment. The North Carolina Museum of Life and Science, Durham, is a hands-on museum, with science experiments to try, animals to pet and reptiles to admire.
