Springs is the most active and most multigenerational of the Cliffs coves, about twenty minutes from Clemson. The Beach Club, with two pools and a waterslide, is the social engine, and a new hilltop clubhouse from the Hart Howerton firm adds dining, a golf shop, and a wellness center over the eighteenth hole. The Tom Fazio golf here is a flexible three-loop design built for families, and a full watersports program runs kayaks, paddleboards, and wakeboarding off the lake.

Homes start around $1.3M and climb into the high seven figures, and Springs carries the richest price per foot of the three coves because the product is newest. Several developer release zones are adding inventory, which is friendly to entry buyers and something for an appreciation-focused buyer to weigh. If you have school-age kids or you bleed orange, this is the cove.

Your Weekend Itinerary

The family weekend: Fazio in six-hole doses, a Beach Club you arrive at by boat.

Saturday morning

Fazio's three six-hole loops let you size the golf to the day: six before breakfast, eighteen if the house lets you.

On the water

The Beach Club is the spring-to-fall hub: boat up, water slides for the grandkids, a grille lunch you do not have to dress for.

The town

Clemson is fifteen minutes: Rick Erwin's for the polished dinner, Pixie & Bill's or Calhoun Corners for the old-school one. In fall, build the whole Saturday around Death Valley.

The shop

Ram Cat Alley in Seneca or the Village Bakery in Six Mile on the way home.

Sunday

The new clubhouse above the eighteenth for a long brunch, then a slow cove crawl north while the lake empties out.
