There is no better way to discover The Cliffs than to experience it first-hand. We offer two Discovery Tour Packages designed to give you a glimpse of why The Cliffs has been named CNBC's World's Best International Development and one of "America's Top 10 Private Golf Course Communities" by Travel+Leisure Golf and The Robb Report. Discovery Package Details
The Cliffs at High Carolina is perched on a mountaintop meadow in the Blue Ridge Mountains, spanning approximately 3,000 acres with elevations reaching up to 4,000 feet above sea level and views stretching over 50 miles. This unbelievable setting will serve as the palette for the first Tiger Woods Design golf course in America. Additional amenities will include an Inn and Spa, swimming pool, wellness center, tennis courts, trail system and clubhouse.
“My goal as a course designer is to create a handful of very unique courses around the world, and to do that, I seek to find the best sites, the best partners and then create a fantastic course design. When I first got to the top of the mountain and looked across those meadows, I knew The Cliffs at High Carolina was the place for my first American design. I am confident The Cliffs at High Carolina will be a truly remarkable community I can share with family and friends, and enjoy for years to come.”— Tiger Woods
Acreage: 3,000 acres (1,200 hectares)
Club Structure: The Cliffs’ membership gives Members the keys to all eight communities: being a Member of one community makes you a Member of all. One Cliffs membership lets you enjoy every amenity at every community - from golf and tennis to marinas and equestrian to restaurants and clubhouses, as well as access to The Cliffs Retreat Collection of international destination vacation properties in British Columbia, Chile, and the Bahamas. Only property owners are extended the invitation to become Members at The Cliffs.
Golf: Created by Tiger Woods Design, High Carolina will showcase a walkable golf course for players of all skill levels. From its back tees, High Carolina will measure almost 7,500 yards but each hole can be played from one of six tee boxes, allowing an enjoyable experience for higher handicappers, ladies and families playing with junior golfers. All 18 holes receive southern exposure of sunlight, resulting in year-round playability at 4,000 feet elevation.
Nature Trails: A system of trails 10 miles long will traverse the site.
Family Wellness Program: Members will benefit from The Cliffs' standard-setting Wellness Program. The community will include a state-of-the-art Wellness Center, along with a team of nutritionists, exercise physiologists and conditioning specialists.
Village: A village area will include an Inn and Spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a clubhouse with dining and a cafe and market.
Location: Located in the Carolina Preserve, The Cliffs at High Carolina is only minutes from Asheville, North Carolina, a city widely regarded as one of America's best places to live for its wealth of cultural and outdoor offerings.
Blue Ridge Parkway: Connected by the Blue Ridge Parkway and just minutes from the Asheville International Airport, members refer to life at The Cliffs at High Carolina as “the illusion of seclusion”, and it has everything to do with Pisgah National Forest standing sentinel on all sides of the community.
Overview of The Cliffs: Twenty years ago, The Cliffs established its first community with a strong commitment to the land and a dedication to the people who would call it home. Today, they offer eight communities; all just minutes apart, all in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Western Carolinas, all available with one membership. Members can choose from three regions—Mountain, Mountain-Lake and Asheville—while enjoying every clubhouse, golf course, wellness center, hiking trail, international vacation property, tennis court, marina, restaurant, everything. A Member of one Cliffs community is a Member of all eight.
Wellness: At The Cliffs, wellness is personal. Their approach includes a customized plan of action that meets you wherever you are. They utilize fitness professionals and wellness coaches, a team of doctors, state-of-the-art wellness complexes and spa offerings, specialized affiliations such as Wake Forest University Medical Center, outdoor sports and trails, nutritional and lifestyle assessments, a 10-acre organic farm, comprehensive fitness programs, massage services and whatever wellness programs their members need in order to pursue their passions.
Sustainable Development: The Cliffs continues to seek out and implement green initiatives to minimize their eco-footprint and maximize land sustainability for generations. These initiatives include low-impact development, reforestation and a comprehensive recycling program. Also, they have partnered with Clemson University to create The Cliffs Center for Environmental Golf Research, the industry’s first research facility dedicated to produce environmentally-friendly golf course and green space management and maintenance practices.
