About Elk River Club

Elk River Club is Banner Elk's premier private gated community, built around Jack Nicklaus' first Signature golf course in North Carolina — fully renovated in 2025. Members enjoy an equestrian center, a wellness center, tennis and pickleball, a pool complex, a mile of private river, and a 4,600-foot on-premise private airstrip reserved for property owners and their guests. Homes, cottages and condominiums sit within view of Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain and Grandfather Mountain, and members arrive year-round from across the country for golf season, ski season and the holidays.

Members and guests arriving for a stay at Elk River Club deserve ground transportation that matches the club: a professional local driver, a clean late-model vehicle, and door-to-door service from the terminal (or the FBO, if you are flying private) straight to your door inside the gate.
