Club Overview

Mountain Air Country Club was developed by the Banks and the Young families, who for many generations have called Yancey County and Slickrock Mountain their home.
Beyond the bonds of kinship, these families were united by a common vision: To build a uniquely magnificent mountaintop community and private country club.

Members of Mountain Air Country Club enjoy access to 18 challenging fairways, where sweeping 100-mile views and dramatic elevation changes accentuate the thrill of playing world-class mountaintop golf.
