Practice is NOT an Afterthought

One of the things that is so unique about Seven Falls is our golf academy. I've talked in some detail about the myriad of technologies, the 80,000 square feet of practice tees, our incredible academy building, and the first class instruction; but one component of the academy that we haven't discussed is our practice campus.

Although it looks like a nine hole golf course, it is much more than that. Mr. Palmer and Mr. Vinson believe that practice is more than an afterthought, and so they created an environment where you can perfect every aspect of your game. The 60-acre facility allows you to practice any on-course shot of up to 300 yards before arriving at the first tee. Grab a couple handfuls of Pro V1s and get your game face on.

The greatest part of my job is that I get to try out all our wonderful amenities (keep in mind: I am the Member Services Director, not the golf pro)-

This campus can help to improve everyone's game, even a hacker like me.

Still Falling for Western NC

For all of the talk in the national press regarding the slumping real estate market, the activity levels in western NC offer a more optimistic outlook for the economy. A couple of weeks ago, we had another successful event at Seven Falls. The Little River Band and Gary Ross entertained 300 of our Members and guests under perfect autumn skies. For many it offered a first look at our academy building and the fully completed practice campus, featuring nine championship quality green and bunker complexes. Everyone was blown away by what is the premier private practice facility in the country.

Analysis of our local real estate market shows that prices are holding steady and most local experts predict that the coming year will be a strong one. While much of the country is staggering under the weight of decreasing property values, western NC remains comparatively strong. Just this past weekend, Tiger Woods held his grand opening at High Carolina, just down the road, and had a successful sales day. We couldn't be happier about it. It demonstrates the fact that our real estate market remains strong despite all the doom and gloom assessments that are permeating the press.

Come out and experience Seven Falls for yourself and see why we are all still falling for Western NC.
