Governors Club was founded by Truby Proctor in 1988 and is considered one of the finest private country clubs in North Carolina. Our 27 holes of Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf provide an exquisite backdrop for our Clubhouse. The first two nine-hole courses, the Lakes, at the lower end of the property and with a more typical North Carolina “Sandhills” feel, and the Foothills, featuring elevation changes as it runs up Edwards Ridge opened in 1990. Four years later, a third course, “The Mountain,” literally completed the journey, taking players up to a 27th hole offering a spectacular view. The 42,000-sq. ft. Clubhouse was completed in 1995 and serves as the social center of the community. The 12,000-sq. ft. Wellness and Recreation Center was completed in 1997 – the same year Governors Club Members acquired the Club and its facilities from the developer.
Governors Club has continued to be a Distinguished Club of the World, ranked in the top 5 percent of high- performing clubs in the world per BoardRoom Magazine's global list. Governors Club has also been recognized as a Platinum Club of America – a distinction only awarded to the top 150 country clubs in the U.S.
The Club is currently governed by a Board of Directors and supported by various committees, which are responsible for setting policy. A professional management team manages daily operations of the Club 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.
Our Vision:
Governors Club is committed to a culture of excellence that stands apart from other private clubs through delivery of exceptional experiences.
Our Mission:
Governors Club will provide an exceptional experience for desired recreational and social amenities in an environment that encourages the foundation of enduring friendships.
