Some may not care about this bit of news but this is great b/c the company I work for has a Cliffs membership and I have played on all but 2 of the courses so far. Check out their website here. The courses offer some of the best views in golf. Pictured here is the Cliffs at Glassy that I played in May. It is the signature hole and is a par 3 that kinda has a drop off view overlooking Greenville. The pic does not do the hole nor course justice but trust me it is amazing.Here is the news from the Greenville News:
Upstate developer Jim Anthony and professional golfer Tiger Woods today announced that Woods will design his first U.S. golf course for Anthony's new Cliffs development east of Asheville. The new development will be 3,000 acres and include 1,500 home sites called High Carolina.
Anthony's company, The Cliffs Communities Inc., has seven master-planned communities located between Asheville and Greenville, with golf courses designed by such notables as Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Ben Wright and Tom Jackson.
The project with Woods follows the announcement last year that Anthony and golfing legend Gary Player would collaborate on The Cliffs at Mountain Park on 5,000 acres in northern Greenville County. The centerpiece will be an 18-hole golf course Gary Player Group Inc. will design and build and should be open in 2008.

To think that 16 years ago Mr. Anthony was a pole climber for Duke Power and took a chance on some land north of Travelers Rest. One development leads to 8 and millions of millions of dollars. They have properties in Chile, British Columbia and the Bahamas. I have had the pleasure to meet Mr. Anthony once and you would never guess that this man is worth millions or started the Cliffs.
This is great for this area and great for golf fans....

To bad you have to walk the course, a lot of hills in those north carolina mountains.
true but worth it..also Tiger said he will own a home in one of the cliffs developments.
not to mention Arnold Palmer is doing a development also in the Ashville area.
