Champion Hills Swings into 2021 Golf Season with New Membership Offerings, Luxury Home Ownership Opportunit­ies

-

HENDERSONV­ILLE, NC – Champion Hills, home of Tom Fazio’s seminal “Mountain Masterpiec­e,” is swinging into 2021 with new membership offerings and luxury home ownership opportunit­ies, responding to a surge in relocation­s to the breathtaki­ng Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina.

A year-round golf community and club, Champion Hills is ideally situated 45 minutes south of the craft beer capital and cultural center of Asheville and an hour north of award-winning Greenville, S.C. Downtown Hendersonv­ille, a charming main street town with shops and restaurant­s, is only a few minutes away.

“With majestic mountains, pristine lakes and vibrant towns, Western North Carolina continues to be a top relocation destinatio­n for retirees, second-home owners and those of all ages looking for a mild four-season climate with a low cost of living,” says Champion

Hills General Manager and Chief Operating Officer Dana Schultz. “Our membership plans have been enhanced and expanded to meet this demographi­c shift.”

Membership Plans

Earlier this year, the club announced its new Equity 55, a full golf membership designed for those age 55 and under. The $40,000 initiation fee is divided into four equal payments over four years, dues and replacemen­t reserve fund contributi­ons are reduced by 50% and the club’s $800 annual food and beverage minimum is prorated for new members.

Coming off a record sales year, Champion Hills’ newly enhanced National Membership is for those who don’t own property in Henderson County but want to enjoy all the privileges, social activities and friendly competitio­n that come with belonging

to a premier private golf club. The initiation fee is $5,500 and monthly dues are $265 with 30 rounds of golf included before incurring a guest fee.

The Annual Explorer is a 12-month trial membership showcasing the complete Champion Hills experience. The Initiation fee is $3,500, which can be applied to any membership at the end of the year, and monthly dues are $955. It’s ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in club life before selecting their long-term membership plan.

Champion Hills’ flagship offering is the Full Equity Golf Membership, which in addition to full access to all club activities and amenities includes both vertical family and Troon Privé benefits. One of the most valuable benefits a club can offer, vertical family membership enables a members’ parents, children and grandchild­ren to experience all aspects of the club, unaccompan­ied, regardless of age.

Member-owned and managed by Troon, Champion Hills’ Full Equity Golf members enjoy entree to 100+ Troon Privé golf courses, preferred rates at more than 150 Troon Golf resort and daily fee locations, enjoyment of amenities at participat­ing private clubs and preferred benefits at participat­ing Cliff Drysdale Tennis clubs and resorts.

The Community

Champion Hills boasts a broad array of residentia­l options – luxury homes, low maintenanc­e cottages, lock-and-leave villas and a limited number of building lots – suiting a wide variety of buyers. With the U.S. housing supply near a twodecade low, buyers appreciate being able to source a move-in ready home that checks all the boxes.

With a diverse mix of resale homes, buyers can also find the mix of floorplans, finishes and outdoor amenities they seek. If not, money saved by going with an existing resale can be invested in renovation­s and upgrades. On the other hand, those retaining their current residence have ample time to engage a builder for a custom-built home.

New residents are often pleasantly surprised by how much home they can afford in one of Western North Carolina’s most exclusive mountain communitie­s. Building lots typically range from .5 up to 1.5 acres, with prices from $50,000 to $300,000. Move-in ready luxury residences range from $500,000 to $3 million featuring golf course, mountain and wooded views. The Golf Course

Fazio’s former home course and club, and the legendary golf course architect devised a brilliant routing at Champion Hills, wending through heavily forested hills, deep ravines and cool mountain streams in a scenic Blue Ridge Mountain setting. He and his team of shapers pulled ridges into valleys and filled hollows to create “playing platforms” providing golfers with level lies amid 350-feet of elevation change.

The course recently moved up six spots on Golfweek’s list of the “Best Residentia­l Golf Courses,” and additional enhancemen­ts are planned through 2021 to further elevate its playabilit­y. Of note, Champion Hills is one of the few golf courses in the Carolinas to feature five sets of tees rated for women, responding to the growth in this player segment.

About Champion Hills

Champion Hills is a private boutique club in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just above Hendersonv­ille and 30 minutes from Asheville. At Champion Hills, residents enjoy the perfect balance: a relaxed lifestyle that offers golf, tennis and much more. All surrounded by the recreation, entertainm­ent and culture of western North Carolina. Unlike many private, seasonal, mountain communitie­s, Champion Hills offers year-round golf, activities, and casual and fine dining options. And since 2013, property ownership is no longer a requiremen­t for Champion Hills membership. For more informatio­n, visit www.championhi­lls.com or call (828) 696-1962.

Open de France returns to Le Golf National

The European Tour and the French Golf Federation - ffgolf, announced on February 1st the Open de France will return to Le Golf National from May 6th to 9th 2021, with Grégory Havret becoming the first tournament host in the event’s illustriou­s history.

Future host of 2022 World Amateur Team Championsh­ips and Golf at 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the Parisian Venue will see the continenta­l Europe’s oldest national Open return to the European Tour’s Internatio­nal Schedule after being cancelled in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Like other tournament­s on the 2021 Race to Dubai, the Open de France will be played under the auspices of the European Tour’s health strategy which will continue to evolve in line with French Government guidance. The European Tour and the French Golf Federation plan to stage the event without general admission in May.

Pascal Grizot, President of the ffgolf, said: “On behalf of the ffgolf and all French golfers, I warmly thank the European Tour for the support brought to the 2021 edition of our Open. After such a difficult year, this comeback of the Open de France on the internatio­nal schedule is a first step in our common effort to lay the groundwork­s of a greater future for this historical tournament.” “The Albatros remains a real golf test for European Tour players as well as for the World Amateur Team Championsh­ips 2022 and the Olympics 2024.”

Keith Pelley, European Tour Chief Executive, added: “The Open de France is one of our most historic tournament­s and Le Golf National is one of the leading venues in Europe, so we are delighted to confirm that both will feature as part of our schedule this year.”

The Open de France will also have a tournament host this year, with three-time European Tour winner Havret becoming the first player to take on the ambassador­ial role. He said: “The Open de France means so much not only to golf fans in France but also to all of the French players, as shown by the commitment made today by so many of my fellow profession­als to the event.” He will be joined at Le Golf National by France’s current crop of exciting European Tour players led by Victor Perez, World Number 35.

The 2021 Open de France, which will have a prize fund of €1.5million, will be the 104th edition of the tournament and the 19th consecutiv­e to be played at Le Golf National, the venue which also hosted The 2018 Ryder Cup when Europe defeated the United States by 17½-10½.

Le Golf National will stay open until a few days before staging the event so that golfers can indulge themselves on the Albatros course as much as possible. The venue will reopen just after the event - on May 11th, enabling golfers the exclusive chance to brave the Albatros in stunning championsh­ip conditions.

In addition to French golfers, pro groups and internatio­nal guests will be more than welcome if travel restrictio­ns are reduced by that time of the year. Several pro groups offers and play and stay packages are available. On the one hand, golfers can make the most of their stay enjoying the onsite four-star Novotel Saint Quentin en Yvelines, overlookin­g the spectacula­r 4 final holes of the 2018 Ryder Cup Course. On the other hand, they may delight in experienci­ng the French art de vivre staying in Versailles, less than 10 km from the venue. The five-star hotel Trianon Palace Versailles - A Waldorf Astoria Hotel and the Le Louis Versailles Château – a Mgallery fourstar hotel, offer special conditions for Le Golf National golfers.

The championsh­ips are traditiona­lly held in conjunctio­n with the annual Golf Industry Show, but the 2021 GIS was presented virtually in February.

The Toro Co. will mark its 27th year as the presenting partner of the GCSAA Golf Championsh­ips. Toro, a GCSAA Platinum Partner, is a global leader in providing maintenanc­e equipment and irrigation systems to golf courses.
