Overview

High Carolina Course / Woods

The Cliffs at High Carolina will forever be known as the home of the first American golf course created by Tiger Woods Design. Found 10 minutes outside of, and high above, Asheville, North Carolina, High Carolina will showcase a walkable golf course for players of all skill levels. From its back tees, High Carolina will measure almost 7,500 yards but each hole can be played from one of six tee boxes, allowing an enjoyable experience for higher handicappers, ladies and families playing with junior golfers.

“The Cliffs at High Carolina is designed to be a walkable, mountain course that takes advantage of the amazing views and varied landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains,” said Tiger Woods. “The course will play looking out over stunning 50-mile views, in the midst of a mountain meadow, and alongside lakes and streams, while maintaining the mature forest as a signature element.

“The golf course will have the feel of an old parkland course with classic bunkers and green complexes accessible to running shots,” Woods added. “I enjoy creating a lot of options for players, allowing them to think their way around the course, and High Carolina will definitely be a reflection of that.”

Special care and time were taken by Woods and his design team to ensure that all 18 holes receive southern exposure of sunlight, resulting in year-round playability at 4,000 feet elevation.

“The energy and passion that Tiger and his team have brought to this project has been incredible,” commented Jim Anthony. “As Tiger’s goal is to create the best golf course, our goal is to create the best place to live, work and play in America.”

The Cliffs at High Carolina course is expected to begin construction in 2009 with a grand opening planned in 2011.
