The Cliffs at Walnut Cove is a private, gated residential community in Arden built around a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, one of seven communities in The Cliffs' reciprocal Carolinas network.
Golf Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Resolved this session: club membership at The Cliffs is tied to owning a qualifying home or homesite in ANY of The Cliffs' seven Carolinas communities, not specifically within Walnut Cove -- the community where you buy becomes your 'home club,' but membership carries reciprocal access to all seven communities' amenities. Membership itself remains optional for property owners (not mandatory to close on a home) but is subject to club approval. This directly answers the prior pass's unresolved question: ownership at Walnut Cove specifically is not required to access the broader Cliffs golf network -- ownership at any of the seven communities qualifies, with Walnut Cove's own Jack Nicklaus Signature course as the 'home' course for Walnut Cove owners.
