Frequently Asked Questions

How can I play Champion Hills if I'm not a member?

Champion Hills is a private club, so getting on isn't as simple as booking a tee time online. Your best bet is to secure an invitation from a current member or inquire about their limited guest-of-member programs. We've found they occasionally offer reciprocal play for members of other high-caliber private clubs, so it's worth checking with your home course pro.

What's the biggest challenge at Champion Hills, and how should I prepare?

The elevation changes are significant here, and they're not just for show - they demand precise club selection and a keen eye for uneven lies. We highly recommend walking the course with a caddie; their local knowledge on breaks and yardages from elevated tees is invaluable. Don't forget to hit the practice range to get comfortable with uphill and downhill shots before your round.

When is the absolute best time of year to experience Champion Hills?

We've played Champion Hills in every season, and while it's always stunning, late spring through early fall offers the ideal conditions. The weather is perfect, and the course is in peak shape, though the fall foliage in October is truly spectacular and worth the slight chill. Just be aware that peak season means the course can be busier, so book your caddie well in advance.

Are there any specific holes at Champion Hills I should look forward to, or views I shouldn't miss?

Absolutely, the views from the 16th tee are legendary - you'll feel like you're hitting off the top of the world with the mountains stretching out before you. Keep an eye out for the challenging par-3 13th, where club selection is everything over a deep ravine. We always make sure to pause and take it all in after our tee shot on 16.

What's the post-round experience like at Champion Hills, and what amenities should I check out?

After your round, head straight to the clubhouse veranda for a drink; the panoramic views are incredible and perfect for recounting your best shots. Their grill room serves up some fantastic local fare, and we always make a point to try their signature burger. Don't skip the locker room - it's impeccably maintained and a great place to unwind.
