About
Our History
1954
Greer Golf has a rich history, which started over 65 years ago in 1954. The property that our beautiful course rests on was originally a peach orchard which was owned by Harold McFeely, James Hayes and James Hughes. On October 20, 1954, the trio sold the property to “Greer Golf and Country Club, Incorporated” for a sum of $9,000.00.
In 1955, Greer Country Club was constructed in order to meet the needs of a growing community. It opened with nine holes and was the sole alternative to the only other local club at the time, another nine-hole course, located off of Jones Avenue in Greer Mill.
1955
1965
A decade after it was opened, the popularity of the Club allowed for expansion, and in 1965, the golf course was expanded to 18 holes. A swimming pool and tennis courts were also constructed with this expansion and added to the country club’s amenities.
In order to help the course maintain its excellent condition, a complete irrigation system was installed in 1995.
1995
2007
Things were moving along smoothly for Greer Country Club, until 2007, when the golf cart storage facility suffered substantial damage after it was struck by lightning. A new cart storage facility was then constructed on the site of the tennis courts, which had been removed in the mid-1990s due to a lack of use.
Two years later, in 2009, Greer Country Club invested in a major renovation project which included the construction of a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse, a new swimming pool and a new putting green.

2015
In 2015, all of the greens on the entire golf course were changed from Bent Grass to Diamond Zoysia, giving the course nearly 30% more surface area for putting.
The City of Greer purchased the Club in February of 2020 and made renovations to the clubhouse, leased a new state-of-the-art golf cart fleet, sprigged a new hybrid Bermuda Grass (Tahoma 31) on the Back Nine fairways and tee boxes, repaired and replaced components of the pump station, which drives the irrigation, and installed new software to manage course operations, point of sale transactions and online reservations.

2021
In 2021, the remaining tee boxes and holes were sprigged with Tahoma 31 grass. Future plans include renovations to the maintenance facility and golf cart storage facility, investing in new equipment for the ground’s maintenance division and improvements to the driving range.
