Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Champion Hills' course design stand out from other mountain courses?

Tom Fazio truly carved this course into the Blue Ridge Mountains, making every hole feel like a natural part of the landscape. You'll find dramatic elevation changes and strategic bunkering that demand thoughtful shot-making, not just brute force. It's a Fazio masterpiece that plays differently every time you step onto the tee.

When is the absolute best time of year to experience Champion Hills' course conditions and views?

We always recommend late spring or early fall for Champion Hills. The mountain air is crisp, the course is vibrant, and the panoramic views are simply breathtaking without the summer humidity or winter chill. You'll get ideal playing conditions and stunning scenery during these seasons.

Is Champion Hills a course I can just book a tee time at, or is it more exclusive?

Champion Hills is a private, member-owned club, so you can't just call up for a tee time. Your best bet is to play as a guest of a member, or inquire about their limited reciprocal play opportunities if you're a member at another private club. It's an exclusive experience worth the effort to arrange.

What should I expect from the Champion Hills experience beyond the golf course itself?

Beyond the phenomenal golf, Champion Hills offers a truly refined club experience. Their practice facilities are top-notch, and the clubhouse dining is genuinely excellent, perfect for a post-round meal with incredible views. You'll feel pampered from the moment you arrive.

What's one practical tip or hidden gem I should know before playing Champion Hills for the first time?

Pay close attention to your yardages, especially on downhill shots - the elevation changes here are significant and can easily add 10-20 yards to your ball flight. We also love grabbing a drink on the clubhouse patio after the round; the sunset views over the mountains are unforgettable. Trust us, it's the perfect way to cap off your day.
