About this course

Twin Lakes Golf Course operates as a public facility in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, designed by Jack Wilkins. The course serves the Research Triangle region, offering golf in the rolling Piedmont terrain characteristic of central North Carolina. The property features the wooded, moderately undulating landscape typical of courses built in this area during the latter decades of the twentieth century, when residential and public golf development expanded significantly around the Triangle's university communities. The "Alternate Tees" designation indicates the course provides multiple teeing grounds that allow for varied playing lengths and challenge levels, a common configuration at public facilities designed to accommodate golfers of different abilities. This setup enables the course to serve both recreational players and those seeking more demanding yardages from the same routing. The layout likely incorporates water features—suggested by the Twin Lakes name—that come into play on several holes, along with tree-lined fairways that require accuracy off the tee. As a public course in Chapel Hill, Twin Lakes functions within a competitive market that includes both municipal and daily-fee facilities serving the area's resident population and visitors to the University of North Carolina. The course provides accessible golf in a region where demand has historically been strong, supported by the educated, active demographic of the Triangle area. The design reflects practical public golf architecture of its era, balancing playability with maintenance efficiency.
