About Beech Mountain Club

Beech Mountain Club is a private 18-hole mountain golf course in Beech Mountain, North Carolina. The club was established in 1969 and its golf course was originally designed by Willard Byrd. The official club states that architect Tom Jackson has carried out later renovations.

The course sits at roughly mile-high elevation and operates principally during the warmer mountain season, generally from May into October. Published course-directory data lists the back tees at approximately 6,079 yards with a slope rating of 128. Access is not conventional public daily-fee golf: membership is available to qualified property owners, with limited other membership arrangements, and qualifying renters can gain temporary club privileges through a membership-transfer program.

Origins

Beech Mountain Club was founded in 1969 as part of the developing residential and recreational community on Beech Mountain. Willard Byrd designed the original golf course.

Did You Know?
The golf course sits at close to a mile above sea level and is primarily a May-to-October operation.

Design Philosophy

Byrd's routing uses the mountain terrain and high elevation as defining characteristics. The course follows ridges and slopes rather than presenting the flatter landforms associated with lowland North Carolina golf.

Development

The golf course has undergone later renovation work credited by the club to architect Tom Jackson. The wider club has also expanded its sporting and social facilities to include racquet sports, fitness, pool facilities, dining and winter activities.

Today

Beech Mountain Club remains a private, property-oriented club. Members and their guests use the golf course, while qualifying vacation renters can obtain temporary access through the club's membership-transfer system.
