Village Greens Golf & Country Club
About
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
gosbo61,

Need a ranger!
Some weird holes. Most greens in great shape. Foursome in front of us was 2 holes behind.
Thanks for the review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the greens here at Village Greens Golf and Country Club. We hope to see you back again soon.
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
Thanks for the five star rating! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed our course conditions and layout. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round.
Nice Course
The only negative my group experienced was not having any idea of the layout, when we go back the scores will be better.
This just means you will have to come play our course again!! Hope to see you soon, thank you for the good rating!
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) .
Thanks for the review! Sorry you ran into a pace of play issue, we will adress this internally. Hope to see you again!
Peak shape right now
Village greens is near it's best right now! Course is in great shape! A couple tee boxes can be worked on but no big issues. Really fun course that anyone can have fun on. Staff is very friendly and you can find some good deals on golfnow at times.
Thanks for the great review! So glad you enjoyed your time at the course.
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.
Thank you for the excellent 5 star review! We're so glad you enjoy the course and the staff. Hope to see you again soon!
Windy day
My son & got in 9 on a windy afternoon. Really like this course. Everything is always top notch.
Thanks for the nice review! Hope to see you again soon.
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.
Thanks for the nice review! We're glad you enjoyed the course and hope to see you again.
Good friendly course
Playing at 1:00 in December is a treat for me. Had lots of fun!
I play this course ever time I am in the Spartinsburg area.
Thank you Tim1751128 for your review. We are so glad that you choose us each time that you are in the area! We appreciate your loyalty and thrilled that you have had such good experiences with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fun to play and staff is Super Friendly
My only criticism is the cartpathes. They need to be completely redone. My whole body aches when I'm done playing. When there are two of us, I walk as much as I can.
Hi ron7520927, and thank you for taking the time to review our course. We appreciate the feedback of the cartpaths as well. We hope to see you again very soon!
Nice course
Had a good day to play here. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Course was in good shape, but wet in alot of spots. Well worth the visit...
Thank you mine69 for your review! We're glad that you had a good experience and we look forward to seeing you back here shortly!
Budget golfer
This is a great course. Excellent and knowledgeable staff, everyone is very friendly. Has a Dickey's BBQ on site to make lunch or supper very easy and delicious. Some tough holes and hole 6 is beautiful. I highly recommend to go play this course.
Hello Alvin1668544, thank you for taking the time to review our course. We're glad that your meal was delicious, and that you had such a good experience on the course as well. We look forward to seeing you again very soon!
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.
Thank you Tumbleweed777 for taking the time to review our course. We appreciate the feedback, and that is something we will definitely consider when we get new scorecards. We're glad that you had a good experience otherwise, and look forward to seeing you again soon!
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.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent experience at Village Greens! We hope you will come tee it up again soon.
Great course
Quite a challenge, love the layout. Will certainly play the course again.
Village Greens Gramling SC
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.
Great Course!
Phenomenal course for the money! Greens were in great condition! Great food at clubhouse!
RevSteve,
