Review of Governors Club

Governors Club has been a great experience for me ...

Governors Club has been a great experience for me on a number of occasions. I was considering joining a second country club in the winter of 2017 and the staff treated me very well. If all things have played out correctly, I would have joined. In fact, I may still consider it.

The course offers three (3) 9 hole sides. The Mountain 9 is more of a betting/fun 9 with several downhill tee shots and second shots. There is a beautiful view from the 9th hole overlooking all of Chapel Hill and Jordan Lake.

The Foothills and Lakes 9s are much more true golf. There are several demanding shots into greens and a number of challenging tee shots. Remember that this is a Jack Nicklaus course so you will need to be able to fade the ball. That said, if you can hit a controlled draw it will not hurt you.

The greens are Championship Bermuda and roll very true. They are the second best Championship Bermuda greens I have played in the area. Only Hope Valley has better greens.

If given the chance to play Governors Club, I would strongly suggest it.
