The Cliffs at Mountain Park is one of the four NC mountain communities in The Cliffs portfolio, alongside Cliffs Walnut Cove, Cliffs Mountain Park, and Cliffs Valley. Mountain Park is one of the more recently developed Cliffs mountain communities, sitting near Marietta, SC at the South Carolina–North Carolina border. The community is anchored by a Gary Player signature golf course and the modern Cliffs amenity package — a meaningfully more contemporary feel than Glassy or Valley.
This page covers The Cliffs at Mountain Park as a destination community for buyers and as a structural part of the seven-club Cliffs reciprocity portfolio that Lake Keowee Cliffs members access.
Community Overview
What sets The Cliffs at Mountain Park apart within the Cliffs NC mountain trio.
A Gary Player Signature Course
Mountain Park is anchored by a Gary Player signature golf course — yet another distinct architectural pedigree within the Cliffs seven-course portfolio. Cliffs members rotate freely between Mountain Park and the other six clubs.
Border-Region Setting
Mountain Park's Marietta, SC location places it at the South Carolina–North Carolina border, with mountain elevation, view corridors, and access to both the Greenville and Asheville cultural centers. It is within reasonable drive of Lake Keowee for dual-residency owners.
A Contemporary Cliffs Community
Mountain Park has a more contemporary feel than Glassy or Valley — newer architecture, newer amenities, and a younger demographic mix among the resident base.
Amenities and Lifestyle
Course, clubhouse, and member experience.
The Course and Practice Areas
The Gary Player course is supported by modern practice facilities and a routing that uses the property's mountain elevation. The course is highly regarded within the Cliffs portfolio for both playability and conditioning.
Clubhouse and Wellness
Mountain Park's clubhouse, dining, racquet, and wellness facilities reflect the more contemporary Cliffs operations standard. Programming runs year-round at the elevation-driven pace.
Outdoor and Trail Access
Mountain Park's setting at the SC-NC border puts members within easy reach of trails, Cherokee National Forest corridor, and the broader Southern Appalachian outdoor region.
How It Fits With Lake Keowee
Cross-club reciprocity, dual-residency, and how Lake Keowee Cliffs members use the NC mountain communities.
Seven-Club Reciprocity in Practice
Lake Keowee Cliffs members (Falls, Springs, Vineyards) have full reciprocity at The Cliffs at Mountain Park. In practice, that means seasonal play access — typically using Lake Keowee homes in shoulder seasons and the higher-elevation NC courses during the hottest summer weeks. Lake Keowee Cliffs guide →
Dual-Residency Buyers
A meaningful share of Cliffs members own at multiple Cliffs communities — most commonly a Lake Keowee home plus a NC mountain home for hot summers. The Cliffs at Mountain Park sits in this dual-residency pattern for buyers who specifically want elevation and cooler summer temperatures alongside a lake home.
Single-Community Buyers
The Cliffs at Mountain Park also functions as a primary or near-primary community for buyers who specifically want NC mountain living rather than a lake-and-mountain combination. The decision is highly individual.
