Recreation and Well-Being

Whether you're hitting the gym, hopping on the greenway or heading to our very own golf course, you'll find plenty of opportunities to focus on wellness as a Centennial Campus partner.

Lonnie Poole Golf Course

Lonnie Poole is a public 18-hole golf course designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer. The course is playable for all skill levels, while also offering a challenge to low handicap players. With breathtaking views of the Raleigh skyline and Centennial Campus, the course has become a favorite in the golf community. Our partners receive preferred tee times, in addition to a discounted rate.
