Beech Mountain Club

This is our first time here and we are renting a place in Beech Mountain and as renters of a member-​owned property, we can enjoy the amenities of the Club after purchasing guest cards ($ 18 per person, per week) and paying usage fees.
The golf is amazing, tennis facility is top notch. Pool is heated and has a lifeguard on duty at all times.
A few downfalls for guests is that the guest card fee ($ 18) per person does not include the fitness amenities — that will run you another $ 20 o $ 30 per week.
Guest fees are a bit steep for tennis — it costs $ 28 for 2 people to play tennis before 12:30 or $ 14 after 12:30. That said, the facility is just as nice as our private club in Florida. Staff is super friendly. We have played all over the US, and these are highest guest fees we have ever paid.
Golf guest fees are $ 100 and guests can’t play until after 12 noon. The course is breathtaking and the outdoor grill is a great place for lunch and a few beers, but pretty high fees for guests.
Obviously, this member-​owned must be well-​off financially to impose such hefty fees for guests to use the facilities in the summer. We are happy that we can enjoy the facilities, we are having a great time and the weather is divine up here!

I came to Beech Mountain Club for a wedding.
If I was reviewing the service of the employees here this place would be getting about a two. The servers that were passing around h’orderves were often standing around and talked amongst themselves. Towards the end of the night I saw about 6 of them sitting down next to the dance floor. I found the staff here to be quite unprofessional. However, they were all very nice.
That is not the reason people come here to have a wedding reception. People come to this mile high destination for the views. When you first come through the front door, you see right through the beautiful building to the spectacular view that this gem has to offer. Windows surround the back of the building which leads out to massive balcony. The sense of euphoria of being in the town that has the highest elevation on the east coast with spectacular views and fresh air is exactly where two young lovers should celebrate the vows they have just given to each other.
There are many vacation rentals and some hotels for people to stay at in the area. I recommend you get your guests a shuttle service so they do not have to drive. The roads are windy in this area.
One problem with the building… It is long, most likely to maximize the views from the inside. The problem with this, is that it is difficult to hear the speeches being made from the middle if you are on the end. To this date Beech Mountain Club is the best place to have a wedding I have ever been to, and for that I give this place 5 stars.
