​FARM & FOREST
FOR ALL
Just a short drive away, through the rolling hills West of the Triangle, SXPHW Country Club offers a unique opportunity to get out and enjoy nature at a local agroforestry farm. Membership includes access to 31 acres, including primitive camp-sites nestled among dense pine stands, a half-acre pond, and a swing from the branches of a 200-year-old oak tree.

THINGS TO DO
FOOD AND DRINK
In addition to gourmet campfire meals we have great breweries and restaurants in the area. The Eddy, Saxapahaw Farmhouse Ales and the Sax General Store are all nearby. Pluck Farms will soon contribute another brewery just up the road.
HIKING
The Haw River Trail, soon to be part of the Mountains to Sea Trail, runs right through the village. We hope to add our own hiking and walking trails on-farm by next Spring.
WATER
From paddling to swimming and fishing, there are abundant ways to get your feet wet.
MUSIC
The Haw River Ballroom and Saturdays in Saxapahaw keep the village lively with local, regional and national acts. In the future, we hope to develop a stage on-farm for hosting our own shindigs.
MARKETS
With weekly farmers markets, seasonal craft markets, and the Saxapahaw General Store, there are great options for sourcing local and handmade items year-round. In the future, we hope to contribute our own items grown and crafted right at the SXPHW Country Club.
CYCLING
With country roads in abundance, the surrounding area is great for a leisurely spin or a 100 mile training ride.
BUT WHERE'S THE GOLF?
When deliberating over what to name our 'club in the country', we kept coming back to Saxapahaw Country Club.
Aware of the history of classism, discrimination and the obvious lack of 'country' that a typical country club is associated with, we set out to flip the script.
​
We are taking Country Club back!
​
With affordable private land access, events, and more we don't think you will miss the golf.
Memberships are offered at three levels and scholarships will be provided as we grow to ensure access for all.
OUR STORY
There's something about a drive past fields with barns and silos, or a quiet walk in the woods that makes you take a deep breath in and release.
Wanting more of this in our lives we often visited public parks and campgrounds, but it's easy to feel cramped by close neighbors and strict park rules. In talking with friends, we heard that many others shared this feeling. Inspired, we set out to build a farm and forest for all. After years of saving and living the frugal tiny-house lifestyle, we purchased 31 acres near the quaint, but happening village of Saxapahaw, NC.
Now we look forward to welcoming friends, new and old, to join us as members and help us grow into a place for events, classes, camp-outs, and more. If you would like to make a contribution --in money, time, materials, advice, or ideas-- please let us know. We're working on a list of our top priorities and future projects as funds allow.
Our first member. Yay!
