Overview of The Cliffs

Named CNBC’s 2007 World’s Best International Development, The Cliffs Communities include eight private, residential mountain-lake communities located between Asheville, North Carolina and Greenville, South Carolina, bordered by hundreds of thousands of acres of protected forests, crystal lakes, streams, and waterfalls.

Ranked among America’s Top 10 Private Golf Communities by Travel + Leisure Golf and The Robb Report, The Cliffs membership includes owners from 46 of the 50 states and over 16 countries worldwide. Cliffs’ members enjoy a membership unlike any in America. Membership in one community provides access to incomparable amenities at all eight -- eight championship golf courses including Tiger Woods’ first U.S. course design, spectacular clubhouses, marinas, an equestrian center and access to The Cliffs’ international properties in British Columbia, Chile and the Bahamas.

Members also benefit from The Cliffs’ standard-setting Family Wellness program. Each of its communities offers a state-of-the-art Wellness Center and team of nutritionists, exercise physiologists and conditioning specialists. All of The Cliffs’ restaurants feature healthy dining options with fresh foods supplied by The Cliffs Organic Farm.

Plus, The Cliffs at Keowee Springs will be home to America’s First, Family Luxury Wellness Retreat, an environment with the finest amenities to nourish mind, body and spirit. At The Cliffs, wellness is more than just a regimen of health and fitness – it impacts every touchpoint of the lives of members. In fact, the number one amenity at The Cliffs is parks, trails and green space. Inside its gates, The Cliffs currently has reserved over 1,300 acres of private parks and 30 miles of groomed trails for walking, hiking, and biking.

The Cliffs Communities: Sustainable Development

The Cliffs is committed to protecting the natural habitats and ecosystems in all of its communities and surrounding areas—both here in the United States, and abroad. In the fall of 2007, The Cliffs announced plans to implement The Cliffs Center for Environmental Golf Research, a facility designed to impact golf course development and maintenance worldwide through environmentally sound practices that ensure quality course conditions, playability and community well-being. The Cliffs encourages Property Owners to protect the environment by providing Green Design Guidelines for building a sustainable home. By continuing to make the effort here today, The Cliffs is helping protect these irreplaceable properties so that future generations can share in the same priceless discoveries The Cliffs offers today.
