Plan Your Greenville Golf Trip in 60 Seconds

Upstate golf and a downtown that punches way above its weight

One of the South's best small cities, with a buzzing walkable downtown, a waterfall in the middle of it, and a deep bench of public golf at Furman, The Preserve at Verdae, and Cherokee Valley. Blue Ridge foothills mean cooler air and scenery you don't get on the coast.
