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.
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.

South Carolina’s only true mountaintop golf course is also one of the state’s most acclaimed. The Glassy course sits more than 3,000 feet above sea level, offering majestic views from its incomparable perch. This course has been ranked fourth most scenic in the nation, behind only Cypress Point, Pebble Beach and Augusta National — and when you arrive at the signature 13th hole, you’ll see why.

At The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards, you’ll navigate tree-lined fairways, ravines, and coves that tuck in from the lake. With eight holes overlooking Lake Keowee and just about every teebox and green showcasing views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this magnificent course takes full advantage of one of the most beautiful pieces of land found in the world. Absolutely one of our members favorites, it comes as no surprise that Golf Digest ranked it among the “Best in the State.”
