Governors Club is a nationally recognized private club community located in Chapel Hill built around an award-winning 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course and member-owned country club. A Platinum Club of America and Distinguished Club, Governors Club is the Triangle’s only gated golf community.
The Clubhouse serves as the social center of the community and provides members with world-class dining and events, while the Wellness Center is a separate facility dedicated to members’ health and fitness. Governors Club is committed to continually improving facilities – nearly all amenities have been renovated over the past 5 years, including a full reconstruction of the Clubhouse kitchen, casual and formal dining rooms, and bar area; expansions and enhancements to the Wellness Center gym, group fitness studios, indoor and outdoor pools; and the addition of a Pickleball facility to the tennis complex.
Governors Club members hail from across the U.S. (from almost every state) and many have lived in various countries around the world. The Club hosts more than 400 events and activities year-round—there is something for everyone.
Governors Club is governed by a Board of Directors and supported by various committees, which are responsible for setting policy. A professional management team manages daily operations and oversees a staff of more than 100 employees. The Club operates independently from the Governors Club Property Owners Association, which handles the affairs of the gated community, such as roads, signs and gate house.
