Chapel Hill Governors Club

Central North Carolina offers, among its many real estate options, Chapel Hill Governors Club. The 1,600-acre community, established in 1988, has proved very popular among Chapel Hill residents and many from farther afield. It lies to the south southeast of the city of Chapel Hill off Mount Carmel Church Road, some three or four miles from highway 54.

The community clubhouse of Chapel Hill Governors Club covers 42,000 square feet in a scenic setting. Among its amenities are a grand ballroom and balconies, a member's lounge, a pro-golf shop, and meeting and banquet rooms. Golf at the facility is a Jack Niklaus-designed 27-hole masterpiece course that follows the contours of Edwards Mountain. Tennis facilities include six clay courts, an outdoor swimming pool, a pro shop and an open-air pavilion.

In the immediate area, the sports minded will find plenty of first-rate golf and fly fishing. For cultural and other leisure activities, the Piedmont is only the beginning.
