renown Cliffs Lodge, a full-service marina and a beach club.
The Cliffs at Keowee Vinyards
The Cliffs at Keowee Vinyards is surrounded by two of the most pristine lakes

marina providing convenient access to both. Rated seventh among the country’s
top ten new private courses by Golf Digest, The Vineyards course is another everyday luxury to enjoy as a member of The
Cliffs. With half of its holes weaving along Lake Keowee’s shoreline, this Tom
Fazio masterpiece places you at the center of one of nature’s most spectacular
settings.
The Cliffs at Glassy
As the South's most prestigious mountaintop address, The Cliffs at Glassy is
the pinnacle of luxury living for anyone who is passionate about mountain recreation
and championship golf. Bent grass tees, fairways, and greens lay before you like
a velvet carpet. With dazzling mountain views from fifteen of its eighteen holes
and 75-mile views from every direction, it's no wonder that Golf Digest ranked
this course the "Fourth Most Beautiful in the Nation." This inspired community
is situated atop a 3,000-foot plateau on the side of Glassy Mountain in northern
Greenville County, South Carolina. Developed according to a brilliant master plan,
the 3,500-acre community blends residential development, golf holes and natural
areas. Home sites from one to three acres intertwine with abundant natural wildlife
and breathtaking views of the valley below.
The Cliffs Valley
Nestled in a valley at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Cliffs Valley
offers an ideal lifestyle - a mountain retreat with a direct route to the city,
just 25 minutes from Greenville, SC, and 15 minutes from Hendersonville, NC. The
Cliffs Valley is more than an example of a great golf community. It is nature
at its best. Lush fairways wind along the valley floor, bordered by thousands
of acres of forests protected by The Nature Conservancy and the Poinsett Reservoir.
The Parkland-style golf course at Cliffs Valley debuted among the nation's "Best
New Courses" in Golf Digest. Designed by Ben Wright, the course today is home
to the Nationwide Tour's BMW Charity Pro-Am at The Cliffs.

of seven exquisite, private master-planned communities. Featuring the best in
golf course living, The Cliffs at Mountain Park will blend championship golf course
living, including a limited number of homesites in the Gary Player Estates, state-of-the-art
wellness amenities, and unsurpassed natural beauty into an incredible experience
for the families who will call this private mountain community home. Spanning
5,000 acres and encircled by thousands of acres of protected forestland, Mountain
Park is defined by the picturesque atmosphere of outdoor trails, organic gardens,
and a charming European-inspired Village.
Upstate Lakes
Lake Keowee
Lake Keowee is the sister lake of Lake Jocassee. The lake is part of the Keowee-Toxaway
project finished in 1973 by Duke Energy Corporation. At 18,500 acres, Lake Keowee
is more than twice the size of Lake Jocassee. Another major difference between
Keowee and Jocassee is the amount of development on the shoreline. There are many
lakefront subdivisions located on this lake, and plenty more are being sold. The
lake has a scenic mountain view with many beautiful homes on its shore. The water
is clear but not as clear as the water in Lake Jocassee. Scuba diving is also
possible at this lake, but the water depths are not as deep as in Lake Jocassee.
There are about a dozen boat ramps, two marinas, four parks, and one bait &
tackle store located on the lake.
Keowee Key
Nestled in the Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, alongside South Carolina's
18,000 acre Lake Keowee, is one of the premier residential communities in the
Southeast, Keowee Key. Almost 1,000 feet above sea level, this area is blessed with a temperate climate:
long spring and fall seasons, mild winters and moderate summers. Keowee Key is
designed for the physically active with golf, tennis, fitness center and boating
within the community and numerous hiking trails and over 250 waterfalls throughout
the area. Keowee Key is convenient to both Anderson and Greenville and within
a two-hour drive to Atlanta and Charlotte.
Lake Hartwell
One of the Southeast's largest lakes and most popular public recreation lakes,
Lake Hartwell's nearly 56,000 acres of water provide many recreation opportunities.
There are numerous natural sand beaches along the 962-mile shoreline in addition
to campgrounds, recreation areas and boat access areas. Hartwell borders Georgia
and South Carolina on the Savannah, Tugaloo, and Seneca Rivers.
Lake Jocassee
Lake Jocassee is located in the upstate of South Carolina in a pristine mountain
environment. Lake Jocassee has crystal clear water and huge depths. It is a perfect
lake for boating, skiing, fishing, and any other water activities you can imagine.
Around the lake, there is very little development and most of the surrounding
land is untouched by man.
Other Upstate lakesOther popular Upstate lakes include: Lake Blalock, Bowen, Edwin Johnson and Cooley
in Spartanburg County; Lakes Cunningham and Robinson near Greer; Saluda Lake,
Matthews Creek and Oak Grove in Greenville County; Lake Whelchel in Cherokee County;
and Lake Oolenoy at Table Rock State Park in Pickens County.
