The Cliffs at Walnut Cove
Walnut Cove is a scene of natural beauty inspired by the ageless villages of Europe and just minutes from downtown Asheville, North Carolina, a city consistently recognized as one of the best places in the country to live.

Protected by the natural boundaries of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah National Forest, Walnut Cove is the only private gated golf community in Asheville offering dramatic mountain vistas alongside an award-winning Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, receiving accolades from Golf Digest and Golfweek, among others. In the words of Jack Nicklaus, “Walnut Cove provides an extraordinary natural setting for golf. There are areas on the course that make you feel as if you are playing through a national forest.”

At the heart of Walnut Cove stands The Club Village. Home to The Tavern and Golf House, this hub of all social activities, whether you are grabbing a bite or playing 18.
Members enjoy a 500,000-acre backyard comprising the Blue Ridge Mountains, miles of hiking trails, wildflowers, and mountain laurels. Walnut Cove is a combination of seclusion, convenience, natural splendor, and elegance.

Walnut Cove has been selected to host the PGA TOUR FedEx Cup Biltmore Championship Asheville, beginning in 2026. The event will return to the course annually for the next four years, further elevating the community’s presence on the national stage and reinforcing its reputation as one of the Southeast’s premier golf venues.
