Thinking About Living in Taberna Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Taberna Country Club and the surrounding New Bern / Craven County golf market.
Taberna is a purpose-built, golf-themed residential development on the western edge of New Bern, built out from 1997 around an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus/Jim Lipe course. Unlike many coastal North Carolina communities where golf is one amenity among several, Taberna's entire aesthetic identity -- a clubhouse modeled on the Swiss Castle of Nydegg, streets named for Swiss villages, decorative flags bearing Taberna's coat of arms -- is organized around the country club, making the golf course and clubhouse the literal and thematic center of the neighborhood even though membership itself is optional.
