Greens: Bermuda
Rated one of the finest private layouts in the Upstate, Carolina Country Club stretches 7,069 yards of challenging Bermuda grass with heavy water hazard involvement throughout. Tom Jackson's 1984 design demands precise course management and rewards accurate iron play.
Heavy water hazards throughout. Accurate tee shots essential on 14 of 18 holes.
Greens: Bent Grass
One of only a handful of Donald Ross designs in the Carolinas, the Country Club of Spartanburg traces its roots to 1908. Kris Spence's careful 2008 restoration preserved Ross's signature crowned greens, subtle false fronts, and deceptive angles while modernizing infrastructure.
Bent grass greens play faster and truer than Bermuda. Ross crowns require precise distance control.
Greens: Diamond Zoysia
Gary Player's 1990 design at River Falls Plantation is the standout public-access layout in the region. Diamond Zoysia greens provide a premium putting surface typically found at private clubs. At approximately $70 in green fees, it delivers exceptional value for a course of this caliber.
Diamond Zoysia greens are among the finest public-course surfaces in the Carolinas.
Greens: Bermuda
At 7,107 yards, Woodfin Ridge is the longest golf course in the Spartanburg area and plays as tough as it measures. The course sits near Lake Bowen with panoramic Blue Ridge Mountain views framing many of the back nine holes — a stunning visual setting paired with a genuine test of power golf.
Near Lake Bowen. Blue Ridge Mountain backdrop. Wind off the ridgeline can add significant difficulty.
Greens: Bermuda
Russell Breeden's 1969 design offers panoramic Blue Ridge Mountain views and some of the most scenic golf in the Upstate. The course features a memorable semi-island green par 3 that is one of the most photographed holes in Spartanburg County. Semi-private access means you can enjoy member-quality conditions without a full membership.
Signature semi-island green par 3. Blue Ridge Mountain panorama visible from multiple holes.
Greens: Champion Bermuda
George Cobb — the architect who also designed the Augusta National Par-3 Course — created Palmetto Hills in 1979. Originally nicknamed "The Widowmaker" for its demanding layout, the course retains its character with demanding angles and Champion Bermuda greens that provide a consistent, tour-quality putting surface.

Ideal for beginners, high-handicappers, and anyone wanting a quick 18 without the premium price.
Lowest slope rating in the area (117). Most forgiving layout for higher handicappers.

Callaway's flagship four-piece tour ball delivers Tour-level distance off the driver with a soft urethane cover that grips the green on partial wedges. The 2026 dual-core update gets the ball up faster and lands it softer than the 2024 model.
The 2025 Supersoft is the easiest-to-compress ball in Callaway's lineup, ideal for mid-to-high handicaps who lose distance on cold mornings. Straighter off the tee than any premium ball, and you can play three rounds on one box.
The most-used wood tee on the PGA Tour for a reason — paint-marker depth line, hard maple stem that resists snapping off the driver, and a price that lets you lose a handful per round without flinching. 2-3/4" is the sweet spot for modern drivers.
Waffle-pattern microfiber pulls dirt out of grooves better than a plain terry cloth, and the heavy-duty carabiner clip actually stays clipped to your bag through 18 holes of bouncing. 16"x16" is the right size — large enough to wipe a clubface, small enough not to drape.
Full premium Cabretta leather with perforated knuckles for breathability — the gold standard for grip in humid Southeast summers. The Dawn Patrol wears slower than synthetic gloves and breaks in to the shape of your hand within three rounds.
A genuinely lightweight carry bag — under five pounds — with a stable kickstand that actually holds up on a slope. Five pockets including an insulated drink sleeve, and 14-way top organizer so your clubs don't tangle when you sling it back on your shoulder.
