The Preserve at Verdae Golf Club

SC, United States

The Preserve at Verdae is an 18-hole, par 72 championship golf course located in mid-town Greenville, South Carolina, designed by Willard Byrd. Situated on over 100 acres within the Verdae Development adjacent to the Embassy Suites Greenville Golf Resort, the course is carved into a lush Carolina forest featuring hills and mountain-like brooks that create both scenic views and challenging gameplay. The course presents a moderately difficult layout characterized by its natural terrain and water features. The Preserve at Verdae distinguishes itself through premium turf conditions, featuring Bermuda grass on tees and fairways with Mini-Verde Bermuda greens—the only course in the upstate with this grass variety. The facility offers extensive practice amenities including a full driving range, putting green, and dedicated chipping and short game areas that mirror course conditions. The course is recognized as one of the top golf courses in Greenville and serves as a venue for various tournaments and member events throughout the year.
