Ready your golf cart and head to the Preserve

Golfing Community Private Wooded Lakeside Outdoor Adventures

The Preserve is a hilly, wooded neighborhood with large, elegant homes and an award-winning, 18-hole golf course. Located on Jordan Lake, residents also enjoy boating and fishing. The Jordan Lake Educational State Forest provides hiking and wildlife viewing. The Preserve, while peaceful, is still convenient to everything in the Triangle, including the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, RDU Airport, and RTP.

The Preserve is quietly residential, and the only traffic jams here involve golf carts crossing the road. For shops and restaurants, head north along Chapel Hill Road to North Chatham Village and Chatham Crossing Shopping Center, which is home to a Lowes Foods, several restaurants, banks, and more.
