Golfweek’s rankings evaluate residential courses nationwide based on course design, conditioning, routing, memorability, and overall playing experience. Inclusion in this elite list reflects not only architectural excellence but the immersive lifestyle that surrounds each course.
Championship Design Across the Carolinas
Each recognized course offers a distinctly different expression of the game, shaped by its landscape:
- The Cliffs at Mountain Park, designed by Gary Player, offers a modern, walkable routing that embraces sustainability and strategic play along the Saluda River.
- The Cliffs at Keowee Falls, a Jack Nicklaus Signature design, is known for its strategic shot values and sweeping mountain views.
- At The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards, Tom Fazio’s design stretches along the shores of Lake Keowee, blending dramatic elevation changes with lakefront vistas.
- At The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, another Jack Nicklaus Signature course, players experience a walkable, championship-caliber layout nestled within a preserved valley near Asheville, North Carolina.
Together, these courses span mountain peaks, river valleys, and lakeshore terrain — providing members access to an unmatched diversity of championship golf within one club.
One Membership. Seven Communities. Unrivaled Golf.
Recognition from Golfweek underscores what members experience daily: thoughtfully designed courses, meticulous conditioning, and a culture that celebrates the game.
With seven private communities across The Mountain, The Lake, and The Asheville Regions, The Cliffs offers a golf experience that few residential clubs can rival — all connected through one membership.
As professional golf returns to the Western Carolinas in 2026 with the 102nd Carolinas Open at Mountain Park and the PGA TOUR’s Biltmore Championship Asheville at Walnut Cove, national attention continues to focus on the strength of golf across The Cliffs communities.
