Thinking About Living in The Peninsula Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands The Peninsula Club and the surrounding Lake Norman golf market.
The Peninsula Club anchors The Peninsula, one of the Lake Norman corridor's best-known golf-and-lake residential developments in Cornelius. The club was originally developer-owned and was purchased by its own membership in 2000, giving it a member-owned governance structure distinct from several of its Lake Norman peers.
Golf & Course
The 18-hole course was designed by Rees Jones. The club has a large clubhouse and has hosted amateur and junior competitive golf events historically associated with the LPGA, USGA, and AJGA circuits per club and press materials, though this research pass did not independently re-verify specific tournament history.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership is tiered (Full Golf, Social, Junior) with real initiation fees and monthly dues plus a food-and-beverage minimum. It is not automatically included with Peninsula-community homeownership; both residents and qualified outside applicants can apply, subject to board approval.
Location & Surrounding Area
The club sits within The Peninsula community in Cornelius, on the Mecklenburg County side of Lake Norman.
