FIRST TEE
Good Morning! We are pleased to announce the addition of three communities from one of golf’s premier residential portfolios, The Cliffs Communities. Joining the Network this week are The Cliffs at Keowee Springs and The Cliffs at Mountain Park, both in South Carolina, and The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, just over the state border in North Carolina.
Like their sister GolfCourseHome community The Cliffs at Glassy, these three standout properties are part of The Cliffs family of luxury properties, all sheltered under the shadow of the Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains.
A uniquely welcoming climate and natural beauty make this region one of America’s most desirable places for retirement and second-home ownership. Members of any one of The Cliffs Communities can enjoy every golf course, clubhouse, restaurant, wellness center or amenity of any kind at all seven communities. See details below, plus our Best Real Estate Deals and Travel Shorts.–David Lott, Founder/Publisher

Set along the shores of the brilliant blue waters of Lake Keowee, The Cliffs at Keowee Springs pairs a relaxed, recreational lakefront lifestyle with energy and culture, embodied by the community’s neighboring college town, home to Clemson University.
From its Tom Fazio Signature golf course designed for families and players of all skill levels, to the easygoing environment and casual fare at The Porch, Keowee Springs is one of The Cliffs’ most family-friendly communities.
Life on the Lake: Lake life is front and center at The Cliffs at Keowee Springs. With prime views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lake Keowee is an 18,500-acre gem.

THE CLIFFS AT MOUNTAIN PARK
> More community information: The Cliffs at Mountain Park, Travelers Rest
Set at the southern edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Cliffs at Mountain Park is a 5,000-acre community of rolling hills surrounded by protected forests — yet it is centrally located and within reach of the celebrated cities of Greenville and Asheville. The Cliffs has permanently preserved 1,000 acres of Mountain Park for green space, parks and eight miles of interconnected hiking trails.
Along with a Village Center with commercial shops and residences, and a nearby five-acre organic farm, The Cliffs at Mountain Park offers the atmosphere of a quaint mountain hideaway with the convenience and sophistication of great cities not far away.
A GOLF Magazine ‘Best Course’: The Cliffs at Mountain Park course was named one of GOLF Magazine’s ‘Best New Courses’ of 2013. This Gary Player Signature Course is a links-style walking course with hidden cart paths. It folds delicately into the topography of the land around it, running along the banks of the North Saluda River with mountain ridgelines as its backdrop. It’s the latest addition to The Cliffs’ trove of championship golf courses.
The European-style Village Center, still in development, will serve as a commercial center adjoining The Cliffs at Mountain Park. The mixed-use spaces will include design centers, medical offices, retail shops, restaurants, a wellness center and business offices. The Mountain Park Cabin is the charmingly rustic clubhouse adjacent to the Gary Player Signature golf course.

THE CLIFFS AT WALNUT COVE
> More community information: The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, Arden
The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, the only private gated golf community in Asheville and located minutes from downtown, offers a rare combination of privacy, convenience, natural splendor and refined elegance. The community sits on 1,500 acres surrounded by the Pisgah National Forest and minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, which overlooks the community..
Opened in 2005, the Walnut Cove Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course is the only championship golf course to have debuted with a PGA Tour event. The course’s front nine holes wind across open fields of former farmlands, playing across soft ridges and featuring bunkers that create multiple risk and reward opportunities.
Old World Splendor: The Walnut Cove clubhouse is characterized by rustic Old World European splendor, a favorite of the early 20th-century architects who made their home in Asheville after construction of the Vanderbilts’ Biltmore estate. Yet the community also incorporates some of the most modern styling and amenities available at The Cliffs today.
The heart of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove is the Club Village, which includes the Golf House, the Tavern and neighborhood townhomes. Designed to resemble a traditional European town hall, it features the 12,000-sf Tavern, which offers fine and casual dining in an elegant setting.
