Mountain Park, along the North Saluda River in Marietta, opened its Gary Player Signature course in 2013, making it the youngest Cliffs course in South Carolina with the newest infrastructure. It plays as a more open, links-style test, the most demanding of the Upstate Cliffs trio, and Golf Digest has ranked it among the best in the state. A smaller enclave called Golf Ridge offers semi-custom, lock-and-leave homes for buyers who want the golf without a big lot or a long build.

Pricing spans a wide band, from undeveloped lots into the mid-seven figures for estate homes. It is the smallest-feeling of the three mountain clubs but carries full Cliffs network access and a shorter drive to Greenville than Glassy. For a serious golfer who wants modern bones and a Player course, this is the one.

Your Weekend Itinerary

Gary Player's course in the valley, a Michelin star twenty minutes away.

Saturday morning

The Gary Player course, Golf Digest's Best New Private of 2014, walks easier than mountain golf has a right to. The North Saluda runs right through the property.

The afternoon

Jones Gap State Park is the natural neighbor: river trail, swimming holes, and enough shade to forgive August.

The market

TD Saturday Market in downtown Greenville, May through October, eight to noon, seventy-plus vendors.

The table

Scoundrel, downtown Greenville, the city's first Michelin star. The counter seats are the ones you want.

Sunday

The SC 11 loop past Table Rock, windows down, with a stop at the overlook to understand why the road has its own name.
