Pundits say there’s no such place. Yet in glorious, tax-free Tennessee is a lake and golf community with an enthusiastic and welcoming membership whose days are spent on the lake, the course, courts and trails. Manicured, private and featuring exceptional residences, WindRiver is that private community that offers everything for a life well lived in a place many have not yet discovered. All of which makes you wonder — why not Tennessee?
Life on the edge.
A world-class marina
Slips to 90 feet. Advanced docking, shore power, and fuel provide make for effortless days on the water. The highlight… tailgating by boat to SEC football.
Your serve
WindRiver’s temperate climate means there’s rarely a day there’s not a game to be had on the courts, regardless of your racquet. A vibrant sport and social calendar is another reason 80% of our owners live here full time.
Tellico Lake
After all, it’s at front door. Five miles of pristine shoreline, its azure waters, fed by the crystalline streams of the Great Smoky Mountains, beckon jet skiers, sailors, kayakers, and anglers alike.
Play Legendary.
Bob Cupp: designer of more than 150 courses across America, lead designer for Nicklaus Design for 15 years. In 1992, Golf World Magazine named him its first-ever Golf Architect of the Year. Liberty National. Glen Abbey. Shoal Creek. Desert Highlands. And WindRiver — where every round plays like one of Jack’s own.
DEBUTING THIS SUMMER
More than a Clubhouse, a statement.
Overlooking rolling fairways and the sparkling waters of Lake Tellico, WindRiver’s landmark new clubhouse is a magnet for members from sunrise to after sunset. Three expansive levels open to panoramic lake views, with fine and casual dining, a luxurious spa featuring Red Light Therapy and Aescape massage, complemented by a state-of-the-art fitness studio.
