Duke University Golf Club
The Duke University Golf Club, located next to the The Washington Duke Inn. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr in 1959, this beautiful 18-hole golf course is considered one of the top ten best golf courses in North Carolina. Tee times are open to the public. Watch out for the water on hole #12!
Ponysaurus Brewery
Durham is home to many breweries. Ponysaurus Brewing Co. is a "forward-thinking, backward-tasting brewery, creating beers that are meant to be savored, appreciated, contemplated, philosophized, studied, nuzzled, and mindfully guzzled." Stay for one, two, five or more!
American Tobacco Campus
A great place for a walk and grabbing a beer and bites at any of the several great restaurant spots - Beautiful restored warehouses with a artful waterscape next to the Bull Durham baseball park.
