About Us

In the late 1950’s, community developer Ed Richards had a vision. This vision was to create a community oriented swim and social club for the neighborhood he was developing. At the same time he was developing the first indoor shopping mall in Raleigh, the North Hills Mall, Mr. Richards built the framework for what is today’s North Hills Club and surrounding neighborhood.

On June 5th, 1961 the North Hills Club was incorporated with a quaint clubhouse, 3 hard tennis courts and 1 pool. After development was completed, Mr. Richards turned the Club over to the membership. Since that time, North Hills Club has grown into a full-scale family oriented athletic club.   Today the club’s amenities include 18 tennis courts, 3 swimming pools complete with a pool house facility, outdoor pavilion, children’s playground, and a 25,000 square foot clubhouse complete with dining, fitness, banquet, and tennis facilities.
