Cobb's Glen is a semi-private club in Anderson, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, that sells tee times to the public. George Cobb, whose work includes the Par 3 Course at Augusta National, designed the course in 1976. The par-72 layout stretches to 7,002 yards over mature fairways, and its large, well-bunkered TifEagle Bermuda greens went in in 2012. It hosted U.S. Open qualifying in 1999.

Boscobel Golf Club is a public 18-hole course in Pendleton, South Carolina, a few minutes from Clemson University. The course opened for play in 1932 on land that once housed a larger lake and recreation complex known as Boscobel Lake and Golf Club. Over the decades the layout has been reworked by later architects, including Russell Breeden, who left his mark on the rolling terrain of Bermuda fairways and Bentgrass greens. The course plays to a par of 71 for men and 72 for women and measures nearly 6,500 yards, with an unusual five par-3 holes instead of the traditional four. Mature oaks and pines line the fairways, and small greens demand accurate approach shots. Water comes into play on three holes. Amenities include a clubhouse, snack bar, lounge, pro shop, driving range, and putting green, and the club offers memberships alongside daily public play.

Verdae Greens, now known as The Preserve at Verdae, is a Willard Byrd design in Greenville, opened in 1991 and carved into Carolina forest with hills and mountain-like brooks. The par-72 championship layout hosted the PGA Tour-sanctioned Greater Greenville Classic on the Nationwide Tour for nine years. The club has won recognition for its environmental work, including a 2011 Environmental Leaders in Golf Award, and naturalized areas of native grasses line the course.
