Watching the final day of the Masters golf championship at Augusta National, the allure of the game was patently clear. Besides great golfers – Mickelson was masterful and Tiger walked away with a respectable eleven, albeit to the chagrin of his adoring fans after finding himself amongst the trees more than once – the splendor that is Augusta National was awe-inspiring. A well-designed golf course is not just a recreational retreat, but a thing of beauty. This is perhaps the reason that Tiger Woods designs, in his own words “a very select few.” While walking the terrain of the first Tiger Woods-designed course in the U.S. and discussing its progress, Woods was asked by Cliffs at High Carolina developer Jim Anthony if he thought High Carolina represented a good location, particularly for splitters, people who own second homes and divvy their time up between them. Woods enthusiastically replied that he would, in all likelihood, be a splitter himself, having a home in Central Florida and eventually a second in High Carolina. He could not say enough about the abundant “viewscapes” inherent in High Carolina’s topography and the private community’s convenient location just east of super-popular Asheville, NC, a consistent #1 pick by a variety of pundits for both retirement and second home living. In keeping with The Cliffs’ wellness philosophy, the golf course at High Carolina will be a walking course and will accommodate players of all skill levels. Construction at High Carolina began last year and completion is anticipated for 2012.
