Yesterday I was lucky enough to volunteer for the Highlands/Cashiers Homebuilders Semi-Annual Golf Tournament. It took place at the beautiful Golf and Lake Country Club, Trillium, located in Cashiers NC.

Trillium is a private community nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, offers a stunning blend of mountain, lake and golf course living. Trillium offers so much to the homeowner including homes located on 1,435-acre Lake Glenville — the largest and highest lake with altitudes of 3,500 feet. A championship mountain golf course stretches upwards of 4,000 feet, combining dramatic scenery and a challenging round of golf. And, the Blue Ridge mountains soar above it all, providing a stunning backdrop to living at Trillium.

Trillium is located just a few miles from downtown Cashiers and offers lake and golf homes and homesites including townhomes. Prices for townhomes start around $450,000 and Homes are usually in the 1-4 Million Dollar Range. The private golf is one of the  most reasonable in the area with a $50,000. membership fee.
The community offers a lake club with pier and boat docks available. Every year they do a fabulous 4th of July event with a beautiful fireworks display over Lake Glenville. They also are host to weddings.

There were many prizes for the Golf Tournament including Trips to Trump Towers in Atlantic City and a $10,000 price for a hole in one.

The scenery was spectacular and the weather was picture perfect. Everyone had a great time. After the tournament there a barbecue dinner and awards banquet. Special thanks should be given to the Trillium staff, Charlotte Moore of Hattler Properties and Suzanne Moore president of the Highland/Cashiers Homebuilders asso and local builder.

When you visit Cashiers be sure to let me tour you through the Trillium Community. About 65% of the homeowners are from Atlanta, Charlotte and Naples Florida.
