Thinking About Living in The Club at Chatham Hills?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands The Club at Chatham Hills and the surrounding Indianapolis Metro golf market.
Chatham Hills is the pre-brief research pass's single strongest statewide candidate, and the research here bears that out: an 800-acre master-planned community built by Henke Development around one of Pete Dye's final course designs, completed shortly before his death in 2020. The club is branded directly into the community's own identity -- it is marketed as "The Club at Chatham Hills," not a separately-named facility that merely happens to sit nearby -- and the 740 rolling, wooded acres include 200 acres of preserved open space, an extensive trail network, and a 15-acre dog park alongside the golf. For a golf-oriented buyer, Chatham Hills represents Hamilton County's clearest example of golf as the literal organizing identity of a new-construction community, even though the club's membership itself remains a separate transaction from the home purchase.
Golf & Course
The Club at Chatham Hills' 18-hole, par-72 championship course, opened in 2016, is widely described as one of Pete Dye's final designs before his 2020 death, laid across rolling former farmland in Westfield. The property also includes a 9-hole executive par-3 course. Detailed routing/ranking commentary beyond the Pete Dye design credit and the community's own marketing was not found in sources reviewed this session.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Homeownership in Chatham Hills does not automatically include club membership. The club's own materials state the Social Membership initiation fee is waived for anyone who purchases a Chatham Hills lot, and residents have 90 days from closing to join the Premier Golf Membership at a reduced rate -- a meaningful financial incentive built specifically for residents, but still a separate application and ongoing-dues commitment, not a deeded or automatic benefit. Non-resident membership is also available; the club does not publicly disclose its specific initiation fee or dues figures for either group.
Living in The Club at Chatham Hills
Chatham Hills is a single, developer-built master-planned community (Henke Development) rather than a collection of separately-platted subdivisions sharing a golf-adjacent name -- the golf course, clubhouse, trail network, and residential product were all designed and phased together from the outset, which is the strongest form of residential integration found among this batch's candidates.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Verified club amenities include a fitness center, swimming, and dining at the private clubhouse, plus the community-wide 15-acre dog park and paved/natural trail network open to residents independent of club membership status.
Location & Surrounding Area
Westfield sits in Hamilton County, part of the Indianapolis Metro's fastest-growing suburban ring, and Chatham Hills is one of several master-planned golf communities clustered across Westfield, Carmel, Fishers, and Noblesville that give Hamilton County its unusually dense concentration of developer-built golf-residential product for a Midwest market.
