Top-Rated Chanticleer Golf Course

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. With an impressive slope of 150 and a course rating of 74.9 from the tips with water and/or out of bounds on all 18 holes, the course offers one of the most beautiful and challenging golf experiences 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.

Seth Raynor-Style Riverside Course

The Riverside Course, originally designed by “the Johnny Appleseed of American Golf” Thomas Bendelow who was responsible for designing over 600 courses in the United States over his 35-year career. The 1920 design opened for play on July 4, 1923.

The original course was on 158 acres above the Reedy River. Local architect George Cobb redesigned the course in 1962 to incorporate land purchased across the Reedy River, including seven new holes, and the new “Riverside” course was born.

In 2006, the Club commissioned famed architect Brian Silva to completely redesign the course in the Seth Raynor style. The course opened to rave reviews in 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.
