Thinking About Living in Hound Ears Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Hound Ears Club and the surrounding High Country golf market.
Hound Ears Club sits off Highway 105 between Boone and Blowing Rock, one of the High Country's longest-established private club communities. The club is member-owned, built around a mountain golf course and an adjoining residential neighborhood on roughly 750 acres along the Watauga River.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Golf access runs through equity club membership, reported at roughly $30,000 initiation with dues near $6,200 a year (unconfirmed against an official current rate sheet this session). Living in the adjacent Hound Ears community does not, on current evidence, automatically include club membership -- it appears to be a separate purchase, though this was not fully confirmed.
Costs & Fees
Figures below are labeled Current only when the source itself frames them as presently accurate. Everything else is labeled Historical — a source checked today does not make an old fee a current one.
