Rating 71.2

Village Greens Golf Club sprawls across over 100 acres of what used to be farmland situated between Inman and Gramling. Remnants of the old farm can be seen throughout the course, including pear trees from the original orchard that line the 10th fairway. When the golf course was built in 1969, many new trees were planted but much care was taken so as not to obstruct the view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, providing nearly every hole with views that stretch from Glassy Mountain to Chimney Rock. The layout has a classic design that is playable for a wide range of skill levels. Sparkling lakes and ponds accent the landscape, coming into play on a few holes. Village Greens Golf Club's most memorable water hole is the course's signature sixth. This short par 3 features a semi-island green that is surrounded by water on two sides, along with three bunkers and out-of-bounds on the right.

Hidden Gem

I say hidden simply because it's in a remote area away from larger cities. I will certainly play this course again before the end of summer. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in great shape. Shorter course that makes you think with the dog legs around the course. You can't simply step up with a driver and smash the it. Some holes will require a 3 or 5 wood off the tee while #2 is an iron unless you can shape your shots. Played the blues.

It's a tight course with several holes leaving little room for wayward drives. Either the woods or OB stakes will get you.

My only complaint revolves around the mowing of the greens. After the second hole I had a guy mowing the green or waiting to mow the green on every hole until the 14th when I caught up with other golfers. While I appreciate the care and maintenance being seen to, it would've been nice to simply be able to play without waiting on multiple holes. There was no one behind me and no one in front of me for most of the day. Normally 5 minutes here or there isn't a big deal, but this lengthened my round by 20-25 minutes. Bad thing is, a storm blew in while I was on 18 and I got soaked! Without the waiting I would've been clear of the storm.

Good value, and varied layout makes for a course worth tryinh

Although the course is not long (6,200 from the back tees) it is well laid out using woods, roads and water to make for a fun but tricky layout. Friendly staff and good clubhouse and pro shop - good have used a couple more water stops out there but that's about the only minor grumble. Its distance from Greenville is the only deterrent but it's worth the effort to check it out

In amazing shape

I've been playing this course for years now and it's never looked as good as it does now! Fairways are thick and green and the greens are rolling beautifully! It's a course made for scoring but adds toughness through quick greens and holes designed to force you to lay up. Definitely worth the $30

Good Condition

Course was in good condition. Greens a little slow but putted true. Got stuck behind a shotgun start (1 pm 60 golfers) with a 2 pm tee time (wish we would have known that there was an event going on when we made the tee time). We were on pace until we got to the 14th hole. Idiots behind us hit into us twice then had the nerve to ask what was the hold up (apparently they didn't notice the full parking lot) .

Customer Service Keeps Me Coming Back

This is a very classic golf course with some of the best greens in the Upstate. I love the risk reward of the par 5 and par 3 holes especially. They were adding some fairway drains on a couple holes during my round but otherwise course was in great shape. The staff is extremely friendly and accomodating. The pro is hands down one of the best in the business. Village Greens is always been one of my favorite Upstate courses.

DECEIVING TOUGH LITTLE COURSE

Great friendly staff with a tough little course. As noted by others , cart paths a little rough and greens a little fuzzy , but overall the course was in great shape for this time of year. Would recommend to anyone in the area. All holes were marked and very accurate yardage book given free as the was my first trip here.
Absolutely no problems with finding my way. I played 18 holes in three hours as a single with no wait at any time. Will be back.

No Map or Pictures

It would be good to have a picture of the course on the score card or one of each hole at the tee box, but because they do not have either, I ended up in the water because I couldn't see it as it was over the hill. I had never played the course before and neither had my companions. So we went into each hole blind about what was ahead. If they fixed that, it would be a great place to golf.

This course had plush fairways

I enjoyed playing this course. The fairways held the ball up nice. It would be nice if a plaque was placed at the tee box showing the distance to lay up on hole #7 to avoid a downhill shot to the green with a pond to go over. Hole 13 is a dogleg right par 5, my 3 wood was close to the trees, having a plaque with the distance to the middle of the fairway would help in making a choice to cut the corner or play safe. Hole 16 has a creek that runs across the fairway. A plaque that showed the layup distance as well as distance to clear the creek would be a great help in club selection. Hole #2 needs a plaque, I went through the fairway with a 3 wood and ended up on the edge of #18 fairway.

Course is in great shape, besides a few bad spots on 15 green, and 17 tee. The greens roll great, when you sink a 40 ft putt it feels awesome! Rough is pretty think so stay in the short grass. Sand is real there, easy eascapes if you have a decent lie.
