Verdae Greens Golf Course

Greenville, SC · 0.2 mi away

The Preserve at Verdae is an 18-hole course in Greenville, South Carolina, built into the rolling Carolina foothills next to the Embassy Suites Greenville Golf Resort and Conference Center. Hills and mountain-like brooks run through the property. Designed by Willard Byrd, the course opened in 1990 (originally as Verdae Greens Golf Club) and for nine years hosted a PGA Tour developmental event, known at different times as the Upstate Classic and the Greater Greenville Classic, now continued elsewhere as the BMW Charity Classic. A 2006 renovation converted the greens to Mini-Verde Bermuda grass. The course is open to public play alongside its resort clientele, with a full golf shop, driving range, and short-game practice areas. It plays to a par of 72, with a longest yardage of roughly 6,773 yards, and its naturalized landscaping areas support local wildlife including wild turkeys and hawks.

Furman University Golf Course is a semi-private course on the Furman campus in Greenville, home to the Paladins men's and women's golf teams. Designed by Richard K. Webel and Greenbrier superintendent Walter Cosby and built in the late 1950s, the par-72 layout measures just under 7,000 yards from the championship tees. Kris Spence rebuilt all 18 greens in 2008, giving them a Donald Ross-style look with raised pads and tight bunkering. Golfweek has ranked it among the top 30 college courses in the country, and alumni include Betsy King, Beth Daniel, Dottie Pepper and Brad Faxon.

Carolina Springs Golf Club is located in Fountain Inn, South Carolina, a growing community south of Greenville in the state's Upstate region.

Architect Russell Breeden designed the 18-hole layout, which opened in 1968 and moves through wooded sections mixed with more open ground, with water features and contoured greens shaped by the natural topography. The course plays to a par of 72 at 6,803 yards from the back tees, with a practice range and clubhouse offering food and banquet service. Carolina Springs welcomes both members and outside play.
