Amenities galore

Walnut Cove has a complete set of amenities available to property owners who choose to become members of the onsite private club that is owned and operated by The Cliffs Clubs & Hospitality Group.

The amenities at Walnut Cove include an 18 hole Jack Nicklaus designed golf course, state-of-the-art wellness center that includes both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, clubhouse facilities with men’s and women’s locker rooms as well as full service dining.

Members also have reciprocal privileges at six other clubs in The Cliffs Clubs system, each with a similar set of amenities.

Purpose-driven philanthropy

At The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, you’ll find members committed to giving back and finding newfound purpose in the service of others. The Walnut Cove Members Association works collectively with its members to contribute all dues and funds raised during annual events to support local organizations through direct grants. Association members must be involved with the organizations seeking to receive this support, encouraging members to get into the community and serve those in need.

Whether it's supporting assistance programs for animal rescue, addressing issues of homelessness, promoting the empowerment of women and girls, or any other cause close to the heart of their members, the WCMA offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Here at Walnut Cove Realty, we're committed to supporting the WCMA's mission in every way we can. In the spirit of our shared mission, all new property buyers receive an entire year of WCMA membership on us.

"Since establishing the Walnut Cove Members Association over ten years ago, we've been honored to put over four million dollars back into our community so far. It's an incredible opportunity for anyone looking to be an active part of their community and make the kind of difference they can see."

— Donna Bailey, Public Relations Specialist at Walnut Cove Realty, Property Owner, and Founding Member of WCMA

Rewarding mentorship opportunities

Through a partnership with UNC Asheville, members of the WCMA can volunteer to serve as mentors for student-athletes. Those wishing to participate as mentors can be matched with students based on athletic or academic focus. The runaway success of this mentorship program—as anyone involved will tell you—is a testament to the remarkable value received by both sides. Members have, what for many, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to impart their wisdom and form fulfilling life-long relationships.

"The mentorship program is an opportunity unlike any other, and our mentors will tell you that. For those at or heading into retirement, being actively involved with driven young adults—especially through UNC's athletic program—can be enormously fulfilling in ways that are beyond description. Students learn from our mentors, but our mentors often learn just as much from our students. It's a truly special program that our members find incredibly rewarding, myself included."

— Dave Bailey, Broker-in-Charge at Walnut Cove Realty, Property Owner, and WCMA Member
