The Riverside Course, originally designed by “the Johnny Appleseed of American Golf” Thomas Bendelow who was responsible for designing over 600 courses in the United States over his 35-year career. The 1920 design opened for play on July 4, 1923.
The original course was on 158 acres above the Reedy River. Local architect George Cobb redesigned the course in 1962 to incorporate land purchased across the Reedy River, including seven new holes, and the new “Riverside” course was born.
In 2006, the Club commissioned famed architect Brian Silva to completely redesign the course in the Seth Raynor style. The course opened to rave reviews in 2007. In 2016, Riverside’s greens were converted to Champions Ultra-Dwarf Bermuda, a surface ideal for the links-style strategy conducive to many of the holes.
At The Cliffs Valley, architect Ben Wright’s goal was to move as little dirt as possible. As a result, the course is invitingly walkable, and absolutely a joy to do so as you traverse the many stone bridges that remind us of the game’s origins.Tucked into its lush namesake, The Cliffs Valley golf course follows the land’s natural contours and elevation changes, challenging members to play over and around streams, ponds and rolling hills.
The 18 hole, par 72 championship golf course designed by Willard Byrd, is carved into a lush Carolina Forest with hills and mountain-like brooks, making The Preserve at Verdae both scenic and challenging to play.
The course is situated on over 100 acres of green space in the heart of mid-town Greenville in Verdae Development, and located adjacent to the Embassy Suites Greenville Golf Resort and Conference Center. In addition to the best 18 hole golf layout in the upstate, the facility features large all grass practice areas with driving range, putting green, chipping and short game green. All practice facilities mirror our course with Bermuda tees and fairways and we are the only course in the upstate with Mini-Verde Bermuda greens.
