Golf Travel: Mapping Tiger Woods' New Golf Course

Golf Travel Map

Tiger Wood's announced he will design his first American golf course at The Cliffs at High Carolina. The course would be Woods' first design in the United States. His design company is building one in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, that will be ready for play in 2009.

Tiger says:

I chose The Cliffs at High Carolina because of the great people and the amazing location. I'm really looking forward to making it a premier destination to share with my friends and family.

Walking is integral to golf, and it will be very unique to have a walking golf course at elevations up to 4,000 feet.

The course will be located off Interstate 40 in Fairview -- map here. This corridor connecting Asheville, North Carolina to Greenville, South Carolina features fourteen state parks, three national forests, and one national park. AVL in Ashville will be the closest airport, however, GSP in Greenville South Carolina will offer more daily flights to Carolina.

Tiger and his partners have not set an opening date yet, but expect the course to debut in two or three years and quickly become a popular golf travel destination.

    the booze in the clubhouse. At that altitude one beer = 10 extra strokes.

    Cliffs high price

    Membership at the Cliffs is $125,000, but you do get access to the eight courses.  I have played three of them.  Cliffs Valley, the only design by former golf commentator Ben Wright, is pretty routine but with nice views up to the surrounding mountains.  Cliffs at Glassy, by Tom Jackson, is a lot of fun, with breathtaking vistas out to the Blue Ridge Mountains.  The best is Tom Fazio's design at Keowee Vineyard, with one par 3 that was the toughest hole on the Nationwide Tour a few years ago...Tiger could use a grammar lesson.  He calls his new design in the Carolinas "very unique."  How unique is "very unique?"
