★ NC HIGH COUNTRY MOUNTAIN LIVING, ELEVATED Enchanting members for 50 years, Hound Ears Club is just getting started. By Amanda Manning Markow C From world-class golf, ﬁne dining, and mountain vistas to amenities like tennis and ﬁtness, Hound Ears Club caters to all interests. 106 JULY 2014 usairwaysmag.com PHOTOS (FROM TOP) BY TODD BUSH /BUSHPHOTO.COM AND COURTESY OF HOUND EARS CLUB 328 Shulls Mill Rd. Boone, NC 828.963.4321 info@houndears.com houndears.com an you hear that? The mountains are calling. Calling you home to a place where trickling creeks, singing birds, and soft taps of golf balls set the tone for your stay. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk, Hound Ears Club is part golf resort, part residential community. Founded in 1964, it comprises 750 scenic acres and was recently named a top 100 Tar Heel course by Business North Carolina for the sixth consecutive year. The member-owned club continues its halfcentury of success as a family-oriented mountain community. Home to four-star dining, a George Cobb-designed golf course, and a state-of-the-art ﬁtness center, the club also offers tennis, a pool with a rock grotto and waterfall, plenty of hiking and ﬂy-ﬁshing opportunities, plus stellar social events. Even the weather is better - the higher mountain elevation translates to cooler summers. With approximately 300 members, Hound Ears Club cultivates a small-town feeling. Most members come from the Charlotte, Greensboro, or Raleigh areas, as well as from across the Southeast. And although most own a home within the club gates, residency is not a requirement. For those who can't deny the call of the mountains, singlefamily chalets, artisan-crafted condos, and twoto ﬁve-bedroom homes are currently on the market. Vacation rental and weekend lodging packages are available too, from a room in The Clubhouse Inn to homes of any size. It's clear that the original founders' commitment to a tradition of excellence is still alive today, and why so many have found their own version of heaven here. http://www.houndears.com http://www.houndears.com http://www.usairwaysmag.com
