Tom Fazio’s Home Course
“On the outskirts of Hendersonville. We built one of our most beautiful golf courses on one of the most dramatic and challenging pieces of terrain I have ever seen.” – Tom Fazio, writing about Champion Hills in his book Golf Course Designs.  Furthermore, he has stated about Champion Hills “I feel that this is one of the finest mountain golf courses in the world.”

The course was rated the #9 golf course in NC by Golf Digest.

Like any artist, master golf-course designer Tom Fazio is proud of his creations. What makes Champion Hills special is that, of all the courses he has designed throughout a stellar career, Champion Hills is his home club. Fazio lives in nearby Hendersonville and is a Champion Hills member.   

“It’s easy to make golf difficult in the mountains, especially on the Champion Hills site” says Fazio.  “The trick was to create a fair, very enjoyable test for the scratch golfer, as well as the middle level and high handicap player. Champion Hills set up easily to accomplish this aim.”

Champion Hills home.

The course is marked by its beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain location, five sets of tees and 14 holes that play flat or downhill. And because of the area's moderate four-season climate, residents are able to play golf year-round.

Clubhouse and Amenities
The course is complemented by a mountain-lodge styled clubhouse and the tennis, fitness and swimming facilities which, along with the course, comprise the private member-owned equity club. Most importantly, the course and club are the centerpiece and heart of one of the premier mountain-golf communities in North Carolina.

A Masterfully Planned Community
Meticulously planned to maximize mountain and golf views, each of the 475 home-sites at Champion Hills is also sited to provide privacy to each resident.  And with an average density of less than one home per acre, few will share in what is becoming one of the most sought after addresses in the southeast.

Champion Hills offers all the advantages you would expect in a premier residential community such as roving full-time security, tasteful architectural guidelines for custom homes, and easy access to metropolitan conveniences.

Gorgeous views are conducive to relaxation on the porch. 

An Excellent Location
Champion Hills is further blessed by its superb location.  It is only five miles from downtown Hendersonville, a town that is rich in small-town charm and friendliness, yet is full of the practical conveniences and cultural opportunities to which  residents of larger metropolitan areas are accustomed.

For a town of less than 10,000 Hendersonville offers a surprising number of amenities including fine dining, excellent medical care, a variety of quaint shops and excellent summer stock theater, to name a few.

Asheville is just 30 minutes away and Greenville, SC is less than an hour away making Champion Hills very accessible by air and interstate. With national forests nearby the area offers a storehouse of outdoor activities such as hiking, rafting, horseback riding and fly-fishing.  

Or try some of the area’s many concerts, theatre events, craft and art fairs, or just plain antiquing. Little wonder that this area of western North Carolina has long been a traditional retreat for families as well as a top-ranked destination for retirees.

Enjoy fine dining at Champion Hills.

Wonderful Climate
Sitting at elevations that range up to 3,000 feet, Champion Hills has a wonderful four-season climate.  Spring and fall are breathtakingly beautiful and the summers and winters are extremely moderate. Golf is played all 12 months of the year at Champion Hills because extended periods of cold weather are rare.

Daytime highs in January (the coldest month) average mid to upper 40s, with nighttime lows usually dipping into the 30s. July and August are the warmest months, with daytime highs averaging mid 80s, but nighttime lows will usually cool off into the mid to high 60s.  The moderate winters make year-round living (and golfing) enjoyable, and the pleasant summers offer a retreat from the heat and humidity of the lowlands and coastal areas.

Many scenic homesites are available.

A Proven Success
At year-end 2000, the Champion Hills community and the Champion Hills Club were turned over by the developer (the Branigar Organization) to the owners and members. Champion Hills is a mature, proven community with all its infrastructure in place.  

For example, all streets are in and have been constructed to Department of Transportation specifications.  City water and natural gas have been provided to all home-sites.  A truly unique feature of Champion Hills is its own on-site sewage treatment facility that eliminates the requirement for septic tanks.  

Golf is enjoyed year-round at Champion Hills.

To satisfy the need for high-speed internet access, both cable-modem and DSL service are available within the community.  More than 275 homes have now been completed at Champion Hills with more under construction every day.
