The largest and most established Cliffs mountain club, with a walkable Ben Wright course and the best valley access of the three.
Valley sits in the Blue Ridge foothills above Travelers Rest, which has become a destination town in its own right with the Swamp Rabbit Trail, breweries, and a real restaurant strip. The community is the largest of the Cliffs mountain clubs, with big lots in mountain, golf, creek, and waterfall settings, and Ben Wright's course, opened October 1995, as the headline. Wright's brief was to make it as different from Glassy as possible: no blind shots, minimal earthmoving, links style, walkable, and fewer than thirty bunkers on the whole property. It carries a mature, established feel and a full social calendar.
Homes run from the $700s into the seven figures. The location is the edge: roughly twenty to twenty-five minutes to downtown Greenville and minutes to a walkable town, which is rare for a mountain club. As with all Cliffs addresses, model the membership and HOA carry together. For a buyer who wants the Cliffs lifestyle without surrendering quick access, Valley is the balanced pick.
