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.

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.

Local dance festivals are a key part of area culture.

Natural Sciences in Raleigh showcases the state’s wildlife, flora
