Thinking About Living in Country Club of Landfall?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Country Club of Landfall and the surrounding Wilmington Metro golf market.
Landfall is Wilmington's best-known gated golf address: roughly 2,200 acres and 2,000-plus homes behind three guarded gates on the Intracoastal Waterway, organized around the member-owned Country Club of Landfall and its 45 holes across two courses -- 27 designed by Jack Nicklaus and 18 by Pete Dye. For a golf-oriented buyer evaluating Wilmington, Landfall is the scale comparison point: it is both the largest and most press-covered private golf community in the market.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Buying a home in Landfall does not automatically include club membership. The Country Club of Landfall is member-owned and membership is a separate application with its own initiation fee (reported to range from roughly $6,000 up to $42,500-$70,000 depending on category and equity structure) and monthly dues (reported around $700-$800 for full privileges). These figures come from specialist real-estate sources rather than an official published rate sheet -- confirm current pricing and any waitlist status directly with the club.
Living in Country Club of Landfall
Landfall is a mature, largely built-out community (development began in the late 1980s) with three guarded gates, 24-hour security patrol on 29 miles of private roads, and a mix of estate homes, patio homes and homesites along the golf courses, the ICW, and Landfall Lake. Most owners live there year-round rather than as seasonal residents.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Beyond the two golf courses, club amenities include tennis courts, a fitness facility, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, hiking trails, and a chapel; the broader community sits minutes from Wrightsville Beach and downtown Wilmington.
