THE CLIFFS COMMUNITIES
North & South Carolina

The Cliffs, with seven golf courses, including Gary Player's signature design currently under construction at The Cliffs at Mountain Park,isn't just a community for golfers. A team of wellness experts at The Cliffs includes the former director of fitness for Pebble Beach, nutritionists, and exercise and conditioning specialists. In fact, the No. 1 amenity there is parks, trails and green space. Inside its gates, The Cliffs has currently reserved close to 2,500 acres of private parks and groomed trails for walking, hiking and biking. Pair with that a state-of-the-art wellness center in each community, equestrian center, nature centers and marinas connecting residents via The Cliffs' own intercommunity water taxi, and you can see why members never have a dull moment.

And the wellness center at The Cliffs is not only growing but is making history in the process. In 2008, it will open the Keowee Springs Lodge and Spa, America's First Luxury Family Wellness Resort. Among the resort's finer features is an elite, limited collection of private resort residences, including spacious Lakefront Estates, Lakeview Villas and Lodge Cottages ranging in price from $1 million to over $4 million. Residences come fully furnished and expertly decorated, with GEM cars to traverse the pedestrian pathways connecting the resort's amenities. All are maintenance-free, exceedingly well cared for, and enrolled within The Cliffs residential rental program.

Showcasing sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Lake Keowee, Keowee Springs' Lodge and 20,000-square-foot Spa will bring the outdoors in with indoor/outdoor treatment rooms and a woodland-themed decor inspired by the natural landscape. Some resort guests may find respite at the two world-class restaurants in the Lodge, one of which is being developed in partnership with James Beard Hall of Famer Gray Kunz of Manhattan's Cafe Gray and, formerly, Lespinasse. Or by dropping off the children at KidFit, the 8,000-square-foot activity center that will boast a water park, climbing center and computer zone for the hard-to-please "tweens". Or by spending quality time on the Fazio course, whose design provides three sets of six holes appropriate for those priceless afternoon barefoot games with the family or a robust round of 18 for the traditional foursome. Or by bagging all of this and retreating to the Beach Club, set at the lake's shore with water so clear and clean it's considered drinkable.

A world-class resort and destination spa, The Cliffs at Keowee Springs will draw residents from around the country and provide a pristine environment to optimize the health and well-being of every member of your family. At the heart of the Keowee Springs Lodge and Spa will be a medical/wellness center, offering a comprehensive menu of services to owners and resort guests. The Cliffs offers a world-class medical advisory board that includes leaders in preventive medicine, pediatrics, geriatrics, women's health and sports medicine from pre-eminent Medical Centers of Excellence.
