Diamond Creek Golf Homes For Sale
Diamond Creek
Diamond Creek Golf Club is situated in as secluded mountain area just east of the incorporated area of Banner Elk, North Carolina, home to only approximately 1,000 residents. The small center of town lies in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The mountain getaway of Diamond Creek is an attractive destination for those who appreciate a beautiful mountain setting, with its accompanying opportunities for hiking, fishing, and biking. Living here offers access to mountain recreation, small-town living, and a more-than-adequate level of privacy for comfort and enjoyment.
The course at Diamond Creek Golf Club opened to players in 2003 and was designed by the prolific and famous architect Tom Fazio, who calls North Carolina home. At its 4,000-foot altitude, Fazio decided to make the mountain course a little bit different than you might expect. The elevation changes here are not dramatic, and the conditions of play will mean your shots are firm and your ball rolls fast—very fast. The undulations of the course are subtle and plentiful.
Each hole provides a new perspective of the mountain peaks that surround you. You’ll find the experience to be highly comparable to a favorite hike in the woods. Minimal elevation changes make the uphill exertion low-impact. The Diamond Creek course never gets old with its plethora of awe-inspiring views. And since this course is extraordinarily walkable, you’ll notice new details with each visit that you haven’t picked out before, even when you come on a regular and frequent basis.
Golf course real estate at Diamond Creek is unrivaled in its seclusion. Home sites are scattered across 1,100 acres of breathtaking mountain landscapes. From the course itself, you won’t even be able to see any homes unless you’re looking for them. As a golf course community resident and the owner of a golf course home for sale, your privacy and sense of seclusion will go uncompromised.
Artisanal, the restaurant at Diamond Creek, is one of the highlights of Diamond Creek Golf Club. Artisanal is run by Chef Bill Greene in tandem with his wife, Anita Greene. Bill formerly ran Le Cirque in New York City, but he returned to his hometown and found this hidden mountain retreat to share his love of food with Diamond Creek golfers. Artisanal has called Diamond Creek Golf Club home since the spring of 2009.
Other amenities at the Diamond Creek Club, which are offered to members of the golf community, include signature elements like a sporting clays course and equestrian facilities. The Diamond Creek Clubhouse is a homey and rustic cabin of 35,000 square feet. Designed by Ken Tate, the clubhouse incorporates native elements of the land and handmade elements that lend an air of sophistication and attention to detail.
You’ll be well taken care of when you invest in golf course real estate or purchase one of Diamond Creek’s golf course homes for sale. Your membership in the golf community here will give you security and convenience, with protective services, property maintenance, road maintenance, trash removal, and home inspections. All these amenities are there for you just when you need them.
