The Cliffs at High Carolina is the Company's first course in the United States. The private course will sit at about 4,000 feet in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Swannanoa, N.C.[5] It will be the eighth course developed at The Cliffs. Others have been designed by Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio and Gary Player. Woods' course will look down on all of them because it's at 4,000 feet.[5]
