The Chanticleer Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., has been consistently ranked as the top course in Upstate South Carolina. Affectionately known as the longest 6,900 yards in America, the par 72 layout is privately situated as a golf-only facility. The course offers one of the most beautiful and challenging golf opportunities available anywhere. Rolling fairways, towering hardwoods and pines, pure white sand, gently flowing creeks, and some of the most challenging greens in the nation combine to make Chanticleer one of the most memorable experiences in the U.S. for even the best golfers. The course has an impressive slope of 150 and course rating of 74.9 from the tips with water and or out of bounds on all 18 holes.
The Riverside Course, originally laid out on a topographical map by famed course designer Donald Ross in 1919 was later directed during on-site construction by golf architect William B. Langford. The course was finished in 1923 and opened on July 4. The original course was all on 158 acres above the Reedy River. Local architect, George Cobb, redesigned the course to incorporate land purchased "across the Reedy" which included seven new holes four decades later and the "new" Riverside opened on June 16, 1962. In 2006 the Club commissioned famed architect, Brian Silva to completely redesign the course in the Seth Raynor style and the course opened to rave reviews in the fall of 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.
The18 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.
