The Cliffs Earns Double Honors on List of 2015 Best Residential Courses
Greenville, South Carolina (PRWEB) November 11, 2014 -- The Cliffs, a collection of seven private luxury mountain and lake communities in the western Carolinas, was honored by Golfweek with the inclusion of two golf courses in the annual “Best Residential Courses” list, which ranks the top 100 courses in the United States. The magazine selected both The Cliffs at Mountain Park and The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards for the 2015 list, announced in the November issue.
“We are thrilled with this recognition from Golfweek, in Mountain Park’s first year of operation. It’s a testament to the excellent designs from Gary Player and Tom Fazio, but also the hard work put in daily by the Cliffs’ teams to make these two of the best courses in America,” said The Cliffs Director of Golf Brian Peeples. “Our Senior Agronomist, Course Superintendents, and Head Golf Professionals have done a tremendous job of opening and maintaining both courses and continue to bring a world-class playing experience to our members and guests" at the private golf clubs.
Opened in September 2013, The Cliffs at Mountain Park golf course features an 18-hole championship design by Gary Player tucked into a stunning wooded valley along the North Saluda River in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The 7,218-yard layout offers a variety of playing scenarios, including playable native landscapes, large, gently contoured greens and generous collection areas. The course design is ideal for walking, aligning with The Cliffs’ mission to promote healthy living and an active lifestyle. Mountain Park was honored by GOLF Magazine and Golf Digest as one of the top new courses of 2013.
Tom Fazio Design completed The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards course in 2000, subsequently voted among “America’s Best New Private Courses” by Golf Digest. Called one of the most versatile designs in Fazio’s repertoire, the 7,006-yard course navigates tree-lined fairways, ravines and coves and is surrounded by picturesque views of Lake Keowee and the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is the fifth consecutive year The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards has been ranked among Golfweek’s top 100 “Best Residential Courses" and is a stunning lakefront private golf club.
