SIX MILE, S.C. – Recognized for its “gently rolling mountainside layout,” the Tom Fazio championship course at The Cliffs at Keowee Springs was named one of the Top 10 New Private Golf Courses by GOLF Magazine. The annual ranking appears in the January 2009 issue of GOLF Magazine and on www.golf.com.
Opened in September 2008, The Cliffs at Keowee Springs golf course plays 7,100 yards from the championship tees and features the distinction of having two turns at six-hole increments.
“We are honored to be recognized by GOLF Magazine,” said John Mitchell, The Cliffs at Keowee Springs PGA Professional. “We pay particular attention to course conditions so the subtle nuances of the Fazio design are evident on each hole. Whether it is from the the back tees measuring 7,100 yards or the Family tees measuring 4,600 yards, the appeal of Keowee Springs is that players of all skill levels can enjoy the course on a daily basis while also finding ways to challenge their skills.”
