What to Independently Verify
Governors Club's mailing address reads Chapel Hill, but the community and course sit physically in Chatham County, not Orange County -- confirm which county's property tax, school district, and zoning rules apply before buying. Do not confuse Governors Club with Governors Village, a separate, non-golf master-planned neighborhood across the street with its own Property Owners Association -- they share a name root but are administratively and physically distinct communities. Homeownership in Governors Club does not automatically include club membership; membership is a separate application and initiation fee. Confirm current initiation fee and dues directly with the club -- the figures cited here come from a third-party membership-cost aggregator, not the club's own published rate sheet, which could not be reached this session.
