Champion Hills Named Golfweek Top 200 Residential Course

Champion Hills, the private mountain golf community designed by Tom Fazio, has been named No. 47 on Golfweek’s 2026 list of America’s Top 200 Residential Golf Courses.

The recognition places Champion Hills at the top of North Carolina’s year-round residential golf offerings, highlighting both the longevity of Fazio’s design and the club’s ability to deliver a championship-level playing experience throughout all four seasons.

Set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the course is known for its elevation changes, strategic variety, and seamless integration into the region’s natural terrain. Fairways wind through hardwood forests and rolling hillsides, offering dramatic vistas while emphasizing thoughtful shotmaking and playability.

“Champion Hills represents the best of what mountain golf can be,” said Heather Myers, director of membership and marketing. “The course design, the setting, and the experience our team delivers all come together in a way that resonates with our members. While our priority is always the member experience, it’s rewarding to see the course recognized on a national level.”

Golfweek’s residential rankings are determined by a large panel of experienced evaluators who assess courses on criteria including design quality, conditioning, memorability, variety, and overall enjoyment. Champion Hills’ continued presence among the nation’s top-ranked residential courses underscores its standing as one of the most respected private golf communities in the country.

Located just minutes from downtown Hendersonville and less than half an hour from Asheville, Champion Hills pairs world-class golf with an active mountain lifestyle. Residents enjoy walkable neighborhoods, access to outdoor recreation, racquet sports, dining, arts, and cultural attractions—along with the rare advantage of true year-round golf in a mountain setting.

With its latest Golfweek ranking, Champion Hills continues to set a high standard for residential golf communities in the Carolinas and beyond, reaffirming the enduring appeal of its celebrated Tom Fazio design.
