The private Governors Club at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is ranked among the most distinguished clubs in the world and has been recognized as a Platinum Club of America. Taking full advantage of the 1,600-acre property and its varied terrain, the 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature championship course satisfies golfers at all levels. It offers variety, great natural beauty, and thoughtful design with three distinct nine-hole layouts named the Lakes, Foothills, and Mountain Courses.

The four-season climate and mild winters allow year-round play at the Governors Club which is designed equally well for casual, social, and competitive golfers. The golf course is blanketed with Hybrid Bermudagrass from tee to green while peppered with Zoysia grass and Fescue along with some roughs and the layout encourages players to use every club in their golf bag.

Golfers will find an extensive practice facility including a double-sided practice tee and range, putting greens, and a large short game, chipping, and bunker practice area. The Governors Club is a great place for those who also enjoy tennis as there are six impeccably maintained Har-Tru clay surface HydroCourts and two MondoTen hard surface courts.

At the heart of the community is the breathtaking clubhouse overlooking the golf course and here members can enjoy casual, formal, indoor, and outdoor bar and dining options. The club also offers a wellness center and gym along with a large outdoor pool which features an expansive pool deck.
