Facilities


Salt Water Filtration Swimming Pool

There is no lifeguard or pool monitor on duty, so swimmers swim at their own risk.

Members are welcome to bring an in-town guest to the pool for $5 a day. Each in-town guest is limited to two pool visits each month. (We hope that in-town guests would consider joining the club if they are interested in greater access to the pool!) There is no limit and no charge to out-of-town guests accompanying a member to the pool. Members are expected to sign in their guests at the Pro Shop before entering the pool area each day.

During the summer months, the Snack Bar is open for purchasing snacks, beverages, and sandwiches, usually from 11:00am to 2:00pm on weekdays and 11:00am-3:00pm on weekends and holidays. A member can charge purchases to his/her account when authorization to charge acredit card or bank draft has been established. Glass is not allowed in the pool area. Members are encouraged to help CGCC staff keep the pool area tidy and to report broken or nonfunctioning items in the pool area to the ProShop.

Individual and group swimming lessons are offered periodically throughout the summer both privately and through the Edenton/Chowan Parks & Recreation Department. The schedule is usually published on the CGCC website or the staff in the Pro Shop can be contacted for more information.

The pool is available for private parties between 6:00 and 9:00pm. The fee for non-members is $250. The fee for members will be based on the type of event being planned. The Club Manager or Events Coordinator can respond to specific questions about pool parties.

CGCC has put several processes in place to assure the safety of all swimmers:

Children under 13 require adult supervision, either by parents or babysitters designated in advance and in writing.

Children over 13 are allowed to swim unaccompanied by adults only with written parental permission submitted to the Pro Shop staff.

Adult swimmers are encouraged to use the pool in the presence of at least one other person.

Injuries or emergencies should be reported immediately to the Pro Shop staff.


Driving Range & Practice Green

The driving range and practice green are available for a brief "warm up" before a round of golf or to practice your form and technique. The CGCC driving range, located behind the tennis courts, has been recently renovated to create target greens at different marked yardages.

Because of the close proximity to homes, the golfers are asked to use irons only on the driving range. There is also a sand bunker available to perfect those sand shots! Bags of balls for the driving range are available to purchase in the Pro Shop ($3/bag for members, $4/bag for non-members). Multiple-use passes and an unlimited annual driving range pass are also available.


Hard Surface Tennis Courts

Chowan Golf and Country Club's tennis facility consists of three courts that were resurfaced in 2009. To use the courts, members must register at the Pro Shop. Members can bring guests at no charge. Lighting is available on the outside post adjacent to the south fence; at the conclusion of play, lighting must be secured. Water coolers are available, but until regular play is established, a 24 hour notice is needed. Staff in the Pro Shop can assist with this request.

Members may choose to bring their own water. Proper tennis attire is preferred but not mandatory. Tennis gear is not presently available in the Pro Shop, but it could be stocked provided there is sufficient interest among Chowan's tennis players. Currently a tennis foursome is playing on Wednesdays at 2:00pm. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in expanding the tennis offerings at CGCC! Watch for a tennis tournament coming soon.

 


The 19th Hole

Chowan Golf and Country Club's snack bar offers a variety of beverages, snacks and sandwiches throughout the week. Beer, wine and mixed drinks are available, and non-alcoholic choices include soda, water and tea.

During the week, the snack bar is open from 11:00am - 2:00pm. During weekends, hours of operation are extended to 3:00pm. The snack bar accepts cash or credit cards. Members who have established an account with the club are able to charge items to their account.


The Pro Shop

The Pro Shop at CGCC carries a variety of golf balls, golf apparel and other equipment in stock. Special orders can be placed by staff for most items. Members receive a 10% discount on all merchandise, and sales are offered periodically throughout the year.Other services available through the Pro Shop include golf club repair, club regripping and spike replacement.

A limited number of private lockers are available, for an annual rental fee, to store your clubs.

CGCC collaborates with the Edenton/Chowan Parks and Recreation Department and local golf professionals to offer adults clinics throughout the Spring and Summer months. These clinics address basic instruction as well as golf etiquette.

Individual golf lessons can be arranged directly with golf professionals. The Pro Shop maintains a listing of available instructors in the area. Golfers are expected to wear appropriate golf attire and follow accepted golf etiquette at all times while on the course.


Ballroom

The Ballroom at Chowan Golf and Country Club is a versatile facility suitable for many different occasions. The room overlooks the expansive Albemarle Sound with breathtaking sunsets visible during most of the year. This room can provide the perfect backdrop for weddings, dances or private parties to celebrate special events such as a birthday, anniversary or a family reunion.
