At the Cliffs Communities, THE HITS JUST KEEP ON COMING

The Cliffs Communities consists of seven private master-planned residential communities located within The Carolina Preserve—an area encompassing over 1 million acres of protected parklands between Asheville, N.C. and Greenville, S.C.—along the leading edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Property owner members at any of The Cliffs Communities enjoy reciprocal privileges at the more than $100 million in private club facilities, programs, and services, including golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Tom Jackson and Ben Wright. 

The past couple of years Cliffs Communities founder Jim Anthony announced two extraordinary additions to The Cliffs’ already staggering portfolio. The first was that Gary Player would be joining the Cliffs’ extended family by designing its seventh golf course, The Cliffs at Mountain Park, in the border town of Travelers Rest, S.C. In addition to the Player Signature course, The Cliffs at Mountain Park will also include the Gary Player Life Performance Center and a commercial pedestrian village where the Gary Player Group’s U.S. headquarters will be located.

In 2007 Anthony announced that Tiger Woods would design his first course in the U.S. at The Cliffs at High Carolina, nestled in a mountaintop mea-dow with spectacular panoramic  views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The walking-encouraged course will complement the emphasis on health and fitness that serves as a common thread throughout all of the Cliffs Communities.

“When I got to the top of the mountain and looked across those meadows I knew this would be the site of my first American design,” said Woods at the project’s announcement. “I hope this will become one of the most talked-about views in the country.”
