Lake Keowee Community
Community Overview
The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards occupies a singular position among Lake Keowee's luxury communities. It is the only community within The Cliffs network that combines a signature golf course with direct lakefront access and a deep-water marina, making it the preferred choice for buyers who refuse to compromise between golf and lake life.
Set along the southern shores of Lake Keowee in Pickens County, South Carolina, Keowee Vineyards is anchored by a Gary Player signature golf course that winds through rolling terrain with panoramic views of the Blue Ridge foothills. The 18-hole layout has earned consistent recognition as one of the finest private courses in the Southeast, drawing members who appreciate both the design challenge and the natural beauty framing every hole.
Beyond golf, the community offers a deep-water marina where residents can dock boats of virtually any size, a lakeside clubhouse with formal and casual dining, a wellness center with modern fitness equipment and spa services, resort-caliber swimming facilities, and an extensive trail network connecting neighborhoods to shared green spaces and lakefront common areas.
The Cliffs operates seven private communities across the Carolinas, and membership at Keowee Vineyards grants access to all seven, including their respective golf courses, clubhouses, and amenities. This reciprocal membership model gives residents an uncommon range of social, recreational, and dining options without ever leaving The Cliffs family.
Homes within Keowee Vineyards range from custom lakefront estates to golf-view residences and wooded mountain retreats, with homesites spanning half an acre to more than three acres. The community maintains strict architectural guidelines to ensure every home complements the natural landscape. Whether you are looking for a completed residence or a homesite to build your vision, Stephanie Page can guide you through every detail of the process.
