The Cliffs has been selected as one of LINKS Magazine’s 2015 Premier Properties in “The Best of the Best” category – the top honor among the publication’s Premier Properties awards. This much anticipated issue of LINKS Magazine is the most comprehensive annual guide to the best golf communities in the world. The distinction of “The Best of the Best” was given only to 41 communities out of the hundreds profiled in the 2015 Premier Properties Guide.
To be selected a Premier Property, a community must have first-class amenities not just for the golfer, but for the entire vertical family. To rank as “Best of the Best”, properties must provide truly unique experiences and lasting memories in addition to a host of top-of-the-line amenities. Historically, golf was considered to be the most important activity a community could offer; now, however, it is one of the many amenities a buyer is looking for.
This trend rings true at The Cliffs: “Eight years ago, 60 percent of our target buyers listed golf as the main reason for choosing where to buy a second home,” says David Sawyer, Managing Partner of Cliffs Clubs. “Today, 52 percent of our buyers list health and wellness as a top priority.”
In addition to its seven championship golf courses, The Cliffs has gained Premier Property status by placing an emphasis on growing amenities, programming and experiences related to health, fitness, recreation, culinary and wine experiences. Most recently, The Cliffs has invested both in amenity development and its team of experts. The Cliffs Wellness Managers recently graduated from the Gray Institute as GIFT Fellows, one of the most elite training programs in America, expanded wine culture by investing in sommelier education and new wine programs, opened its seventh golf course – an 18-hole award-winning Gary Player Signature design at The Cliffs at Mountain Park –the Mountain Park Cabin, a modern take on the traditional clubhouse. Additionally, The Cliffs at Keowee Falls Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course underwent a $450,000 enhancement and upgrade project. A single club-rich membership provides access to the exclusive amenities and services across all seven communities.
