A New Way to Test Drive a Champion Hills Golf Membership
Of the many appealing golf communities in Western North Carolina, Champion Hills stands out for many reasons and can add yet another with a limited release of new trial golf memberships. Named by Golf Digest as one of the Top 10 Best Golf Courses in North Carolina, the Tom Fazio designed championship 18-hole course cradled in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains delivers a great round of play and splendid surroundings – ask anyone who has teed off on Champion Hills’ Signature 9th hole, with its breathtaking 125-foot drop. And now, for a limited time, the club is welcoming the local community and offering Champion Hills memberships to non-property owners.
Trial golf memberships have a $6,000 non-refundable initation fee and dues of $846 a month. After 90 days, trial members must upgrade to a full golf member and pay the standard initiation fee of $40,000 less the $6,000 they have already paid. The trial membership comes with a 15% discount off the $40,000 initiation fee or $34,000. A trial social club membership commands a $1,200 non-refundable initation fee plus $293 in monthly dues. The full social membership after 90 days increases to the normal $8,000 initation fee. Trial memberships are ideal for folks seriously interested in owning a home in Champion Hills and who aren't sure if they want to be members of the club. The community welcomes golfers of all levels to enjoy the beautiful 6,527-yard, par-71 course for only greens and cart fees. What a great way to experience the Champion Hills community and feel the country club lifestyle in person!
These attractive, but limited, non-property owner memberships are non-equity and are slightly higher than other Hendersonville area golf course communities. For example, at nearby Kenmure, a non-resident Kenmure Country Club membership is available only to lot owners, or to those who don’t rent or own any other property within 250 miles. Kenmure golf membership costs includes a $10,000 initiation fee plus $100/month dues. Similarly, Cummings Cove offers non-resident golf memberships for a $3,000 initiation fee plus $350/month dues. When adding up Champion Hills membership costs, the refined course features, and the exquisite course views, Champion Hills is on par with the higher end golf communities in Western North Carolina.
Besides fun and scenic golf course amenities, life at Champion Hills is everything a mountain resort-style community should be, and then some. In addition to having one of the best golf courses in the region literally right in their own back yards, Champion Hills residents enjoy a 25,000 square foot golf clubhouse with exceptional dining, a Fitness Center, outdoor heated swimming pool, four lighted tennis courts, community parks, and 17.7 miles of dedicated hiking trails. The temperate weather and four distinct seasons in Western North Carolina allow for all sorts of outdoor activities and golfing on a year-round basis. With mild winters, verdant summers, and particularly beautiful spring and fall seasons, golfing, fishing, hiking and biking, are favorite pastimes.
This Western North Carolina community is golf cart friendly, and residents of the six Champion Hills neighborhoods are always out and about to visit friends and neighbors. In fact, the neighborliness of this beautiful mountain golf community is another feature that sets it apart from other golf communities in Western North Carolina. Over a hundred hobby groups, social clubs and volunteer organizations provide social and cultural opportunities for residents of all ages. With a mild climate year-round, outdoors activities are always high on the list. And, the vistas from all quarters include indigenous natural amenities such as hardwood forests, mountain ranges and, in the distance, glimmering lakes – making it impossible to stay indoors for too long. At Champion Hills, you’ll never run out of things to do, or friendly, interesting people to do them with.
