Thinking About Living in Hunting Hills Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Hunting Hills Country Club and the surrounding Roanoke / Blue Ridge golf market.
Hunting Hills Country Club was founded in 1971 by Roanoke Valley businessman Gordon Willis Sr., who envisioned more than a stand-alone recreational facility: per the club's own history, he set out to build 'a community of families and friends whose homes would weave around a meticulously crafted Golf Course, nestled in rolling hills and surrounded by virgin forests and wildlife.' Willis personally oversaw road and utility construction, working with developer T.A. Carter and banker John W. Boyle to complete the project despite the era's record-high interest rates. That founding intent -- golf course and surrounding homes built together, by design -- is a more concrete residential-integration claim than many private clubs can document, and it is the specific evidence this batch relied on to move Hunting Hills from discovery's 'no distinct subdivision confirmed' lean to a verified qualifying anchor.
Today the club is member-owned and family-oriented, with a full amenity set (golf, tennis, pickleball, pool, fitness, dining) and more than 50 years of continuous membership tradition. Current membership economics (initiation fee, dues, waitlist) were not published in the sources available this session and should be confirmed directly with the club.
Golf & Course
The course was designed by Raymond F. Loving Jr. and opened with the club's 1971 founding. Specific hole count and any subsequent renovations were not confirmed this session.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Hunting Hills is described as a private, member-owned club, which typically implies an equity-style ownership structure, though the club's own materials did not use that specific term in the sources reviewed this session. Whether homes in the surrounding neighborhood require or include club membership was not confirmed and should not be assumed.
