Champion Hills to unveil clubhouse makeover

Champion Hills, a private boutique club in Hendersonville, is revealing a new look on March 21. After an expansive search, locally owned and operated firm Design Gallery was selected to head the project — the second clubhouse transformation in the club’s 31-year history. The new color palette plays up the blues, tans and caramels of the BlueRidge Mountains and offers a fresh, upscale lodge feel.The project began on Jan. 2. Highlights to the space include fully updated furnishings and fixtures, a Wine Room with community feasting table, a new martini bar and a new Fazio sports bar/gastro pub. A renovated clubhouse isn’t the only project Champion Hills completed in the past year. The club recently added an additional 2,300 square feet to its state-of-the-art Wellness Center & Pool Complex, implemented programs to enhance golf course appeal and playability and hired Troon Privé to manage their daily operations. All of the enhancements were at no additional cost to Champion Hills members.   Read Story »
