The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, which opened in April 2005, is the first of two Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses in The Cliffs’ collection and the only course to debut in tournament-ready conditions, according to the PGA TOUR. Designed to be a Par 71 professional course, the first course is Situated in lush rolling meadowlands nestled within a natural amphitheater of spectacular scenery, The Cliffs at Walnut Cove is protected by the natural boundaries of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Pisgah Natural Forest. With smallish greens, bent-grass fairways and strong, strategic bunkering, along with plenty of elevation changes and the natural features of the site, The Cliffs at Walnut Cove will be as aesthetically pleasing to view as it is exciting to play. 

Jack Nicklaus has designed a course that challenges every level of player while rewarding them with an opportunity to have their best game of the year. Along with the visually striking aesthetic qualities of the golf course, each hole provides dramatic vistas of the surrounding mountains. The front nine holes are routed through the open fields of what was once rolling farmland and play over and across the soft ridges. Holes 1 through 9 have been well bunkered to create multiple challenges and risk/reward opportunities. The back nine plays more into the native woodland vegetation, crisscrossing over and around a number of mountain streams.  The trees that line these holes help to create their strong definition, while the  streams become part of their overall strategy.

 

The golfing experience at Walnut Cove provides players with a wide variety of shot values. With four sets of tees, every level of golfer can find a perfect fit for a memorable round.

 

Said Jack Nicklaus at the grand opening in April 2005:  "Walnut Cove provides an extraordinary natural setting for golf...."There are some really good shot values and plenty of variety, too. Some holes are difficult, some holes are easy, and you have a nice blend of holes in different directions... "

 

"There are areas on the course that make you feel as if you are playing through a national forest....  It’s a pretty valley, an absolutely gorgeous setting....   Walnut Cove is an aesthetically pleasing course that people will look at and say is really pretty... "

 

"They'll also say it's a fun place and look out from their homes across the fairways and realize how happy they are to be living here."
