TRAVELERS REST, S.C. – The Cliffs, a collection of seven private luxury mountain and lake communities in the western Carolinas, has renewed their partnership with LPGA Tour golfer, Austin Ernst, for two additional years.

In August 2016, she hosted her annual charity tournament at The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards benefitting Safe Harbor, whose mission is to provide a continuum of services for victims of domestic violence and their children and families.
“We are thrilled to partner with such a talented and accomplished young golfer,” said David Sawyer, President of The Cliffs Clubs. “Austin is a fantastic ambassador and has played an instrumental part in growing our golf program by connecting with our members one-on-one. It is an honor to have her in our Cliffs family and we look forward to continuing our partnership, as well as supporting her on the LPGA Tour.”
