Governors Club (Lakes/Foothills)

Overview: Governors Club's Lakes/Foothills combination is an 18-hole private Jack Nicklaus design in Chapel Hill. It measures about 7,062 yards at par 72 and moves between water-influenced holes, rolling ground, and wooded foothill terrain. Its character comes from the change in landscape across the two nines rather than one uniform setting.

History: Governors Club opened in 1990 and was developed as a 27-hole Nicklaus facility. The Lakes and Foothills nines form one of the club's principal 18-hole combinations, with the Mountain nine providing the third nine and a distinct change in terrain.

Did You Know? The three nine-hole loops are named for their landscapes. Lakes brings more visible water into the routing, Foothills uses rolling Carolina ground, and Mountain supplies the more elevated third chapter of the facility.
