Champion Hills began in 1988 as a local venture by a small group of investors who believed this unique corner of Western North Carolina could yield an amazing golf experience. Tom Fazio was so inspired by the land that he joined the project as both designer and investor in 1989. In 1992, The Branigar Organization, a subsidiary of Union Camp Corporation, purchased Champion Hills and built a strong foundation for its growth. By 2001, Champion Hills Club was entirely member-owned.
Because Champion Hills has been member-owned for a decade, our infrastructure is well established, and we take great pride in our solid financial condition.

Known as the “city of four seasons,” Hendersonville has a temperate climate with mild, short winters, cool summers and spring and autumn months that explode with color. The average high in January is 47 degrees, while the average high in July is 84 degrees. Thanks to these moderate temperatures, Champion Hills is truly a year-round community with year-round golf. It is not uncommon to see golfers enjoying our Fazio-designed course throughout the mild winter months, and nearly half of our residents live here all year long.
