Suburban living across from Umstead Pines at Willowhaven
Country Club Heights is a quiet suburban neighborhood on a hill next to a country club. This community, less than a mile from the curving banks of the Eno River, rests on Durham’s northwestern limits, putting residents less than 5 miles from the expansive Eno River State Park. “I loved the convenience of being able to get to different places but feeling like you’re a little out in the country,” says Stacy Stone, a Realtor with Keller William Elite Realty who used to live in the community. “It’s in a good location to get downtown, Duke Hospital or the university, and it’s an easy commute to Chapel Hill.” She adds that residents often join the neighboring Umstead Pines at Willowhaven Golf & Swim Club. While the country club dates to the 1950s, the land that became Country Club Heights remained untouched forest until development began in the early 2000s.

Exploring Eno River State Park
The 4,000-acre Eno River State Park is close by. While shallow, the Eno River is popular for fishing and sightseeing. “That’s a big reason why people come to this area. There are tons of trails for hiking and mountain biking. The river goes all the way through from the west side to the north side of town,” Slone says. Umstead Pines at Willowhaven Golf & Swim Club sits adjacent to the neighborhood, featuring a public 18-hole course designed by prominent golf architect George Cobb. Club members can enjoy laps in an outdoor pool and play tennis with views of Willowhaven Lake. Valley Springs Park is in the area for disc golf and team sports, including baseball and soccer. It also offers a playground for children 12 and under.
