What makes mountain golf different? American Golfer recently put Champion Hills in the spotlight in The Art of Playing Uphill: Champion Hills and the Case for Mountain Golf, exploring how elevation, natural terrain, and thoughtful course architecture create a golf experience unlike any other.
The article highlights Champion Hills’ Tom Fazio-designed “Mountain Masterpiece” and how the course follows the natural contours of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
