Thinking About Living in Black Creek Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Black Creek Club and the surrounding Chattanooga golf market.
Black Creek Club sits in Lookout Valley at the base of Raccoon Mountain, a genuine master-planned golf-residential community built out since 2000 around an 18-hole Brian Silva design -- Silva's first original project in the Southeast, conceived as an homage to the Golden Age architecture of Charles Blair Macdonald and Seth Raynor. Golfweek recognizes it as the only Top 100 Residential Golf Course in Tennessee, and the surrounding community was purpose-built to capitalize on that pedigree: homesites, cottages, townhomes, and custom estates are sold directly through the community's own real-estate arm rather than clustered loosely around a pre-existing club. For a golf-oriented buyer, Black Creek reads as Chattanooga's clearest example of a real residential-golf community, distinct from the city's older, freestanding invitation-only clubs.
Golf & Course
The course plays 7,204 yards to a par of 72 (rating 74.6, slope 138) on Bermuda fairways and greens with Bent grass, designed by Brian Silva and opened in 2000. It was named the 1999 Golf World Architect of the Year design and remains Golfweek's only Top 100 Residential Golf Course in Tennessee.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership at Black Creek Club is optional -- homeowners are not required to join to live in the community, and the club is not bundled into HOA dues. Membership tiers include Full Golf, Social, Junior Executive, Family, and Single categories, with unlimited use of the clubhouse and practice facilities for members. Reliable current pricing was not available this pass; a third-party aggregator's figures were excluded as unreliable (see buyer_notes).

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current initiation fee and annual dues directly with the club -- this record found only unreliable, likely-generic aggregator figures and left the actual numbers null rather than publish them as fact.
- Confirm whether Black Creek homeowners receive any preferential membership terms (e.g., waived initiation) versus outside applicants -- not found this pass.
- Confirm current gated-entry details (guard gate vs. resident-code access).
Notable
