A Different Course Every Day
Seven Courses, One Cliffs Golf Membership
Few private clubs anywhere offer what The Cliffs does: seven 18-hole championship courses across the Blue Ridge of North and South Carolina, all included in one Golf Membership.
Three play in the mountains north of Greenville, one sits in a valley outside Asheville, and three wrap around Lake Keowee. Together they range from a cliff-top course with 75-mile views to walkable parkland and links-style layouts.
