I have a friend who has retired in-laws up at Glassy. He told me this was coming in the future. Personally, I am sad to hear it. I really enjoyed it when the BMW held the tornament at the different Cliffs properties. But, the business model is based on more and more people buying in, and that just ain't happening now.
I played the one in Traveler's Rest (the Valley) about 2 years ago and remember it being barren of houses and the clubhouse wasn't built. It had a wonderful practice/short game area -- but no one was out there, which was great for us actually.
I remember talking to someone after the round and he said that he still had to work to afford living up there, but there were two or three guys in the clubhouse right now who could buy the whole mountain if they wanted to. Looks like that is happening.
Michael -- I hope to get back to the Upstate soon. Maybe we can tee it up somewhere?
