Beyond the Course

EAST

The addition of Tiger Woods’ first American golf course design at The Cliffs at High Carolina brings The Cliffs’ lineup of championship courses to eight. Members at The Cliffs belong to America’s only private club that offers two Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses and two Tom Fazio designs, plus a new "river" course by Gary Player under construction, a parkland style layout from Ben Wright and an award-winning design by Tom Jackson. All are located within a short drive of one another and accessible via one membership.

The Cliffs’ experience extends far beyond the courses, offering members an incredible range of amenities, including over a dozen restaurants, marinas, equestrian centers, wellness centers, trail systems and hundreds of acres of private parks. Members also enjoy The Cliffs Retreat Collection of destination properties around the world—British Columbia, Chile and the Bahamas—without extra dues. Entranced by 50-plus mile mountain views but drawn to the charms of the acclaimed city of Asheville? This fall will mark The Cliffs’ initial property release at High Carolina, a community that will offer the height of living at 4,000 feet.

Dream of living along the shores of a mountain lake? The Cliffs at Keowee Springs—home to America’s First Luxury Family Wellness RetreatSM and located on the shores of 18,500-acre Lake Keowee— continues to set new standards with the introduction of new lakefront residences, cottages and custom homesites.

The vision of a full and robust life built around family, wellness, nature and philanthropy continues to attract residents from 45 states and 16 countries to The Cliffs and why the communities were named "World’s Best International Development" in 2007 by the CNBC International Property Awards.

Queens Gap
Offering a wealth of ways to enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle.

At Queens Gap, an approximately 3,500-acre private golf community in early development stages in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, the simple question, "What do you want to do today?" opens up a world of possibilities. The answers are multiple choice, and all of them are great options.

For starters, there’s the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, which will be routed through high-country glens, past cascading streams and around rugged rock outcroppings. Anglers and water-sports enthusiasts will be lured to the Outfitters Lodge on the Broad River for fishing and kayaking or to Lake Lure for waterskiing. Horse lovers will be able to opt for the Equestrian Center, with its miles of bridle trails; hikers can hoof it on foot through groves of aspen, along woodland trails and up to scenic nooks with distant views. A tennis facility and an indoor swimming pool are just two more of the recreational amenities planned for this community of 1,500 residences, where estate and cottage homesites are currently for sale.

In keeping with its commitment to helping residents enjoy full and healthful lifestyles, Queens Gap recently announced an alliance with the LaValle Metabolic Institute. Utilizing an experienced staff of medical doctors, registered nurses and dieticians, a clinical pharmacist and acupuncturist, LMI uncovers each client’s metabolic weaknesses and builds an individualized plan of action to help them look and feel better. The LMI alliance is a natural extension for Queens Gap, where a comprehensive focus on health and well-being has already begun with the community’s planned 18,000-square-foot Wellness Pavilion and Spa. Perched along a high ridge with long views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this state-of-the-art facility will literally elevate the focus on a life well-lived at Queens Gap to a higher level.
