This is the Cliffs at Glassy, in Landrum, SC, designed by Tom
Jackson. The Cliffs communities have 3 separate locations,
with a 4th coming, each with it's own golf course. The others
are Cliffs @Keowee Vineyards (Fazio), Valley (Ben Wright),
and the under constructin Walnut Cove (Jack and Gary
Nicklaus) in Asheville, NC.
The Cliffs at Glassy was the first to be built and has had
numverous ads in just about every golf mag, especially Links.
Glassy Mountain is in extreme upstate SC, just a stone's
throw from the NC border.
