“Beautiful golf course with a ton of elevation change. The recent renovation resulted in razor sharp bunker edges, which feels a little out of place here, but the rest of it really works. Conditioning is fantastic and the golf course can be a real challenge for all skill levels."

“The Chanticleer Course at Greenville CC (SC) is unique, with humongous boulder beds lining the creeks of many holes, offering visual intimidation. The par-3's (and there are 5 of them), involve elevation change, making club selection paramount. Fairways relatively generous with dog legs banked to give players a little hope. Host of many top level events, with both the South Carolina Amateur in 2028 and the Carolinas Amateur on 2030."

“Chanticleer pulled off the rare feat of a redesign by making it more accessible for the higher handicapper and restoring difficulty and strategy for better players."

“Chanticleer underwent a major renovation project. It was not as simple as swapping the front and back nine. The greens were moved into new locations bunkers were added to provide a great test. My favorite part may have been the subtle changes like the shortly mowed areas surrounding the greens. Prior, the large undulating greens would be tightly mowed to fall off the fringe into the rough, but now it has tightly mowed areas surrounding most greens. This along with bunker placements increased the ability for a high handicapper to play it while also enticing the better golfer to try and hit a much more difficult shot than what a “safe” play may be. The golf course remains one of the best in the state when it comes to demanding shot shaping and precision not only off the tee but also into the approach. Not to say the golf course is too hard, while it is very difficult, it really just points out that Chanti keeps you on your toes. You don’t have any places where you get a hard tee shot and then it’s a coast in, however once you get past the hard tee shot you are likely left with a choice to get very committed to hit your approach near the pin. The bunkers in the fairways create constant areas of debate which is nice to not be able to just bomb and gauge a place. Overall, one of the better renovations I have seen. Course conditions were firm fast and consistent."

“Rolling hills keep it interesting since you rarely will have a flat lie. Fast very nice greens. An old classic layout. There's a charm here."

“Probably the best course in the city, but man what a kick in the teeth it is to play here. It is hard from the first tee shot and doesn't let up for 18 holes. There are some really good par threes and some neat fours, but I would not want to play here every day."

“A lot of uphill approach shots make this course play much longer than the scorecard yardage. Maybe one of the best logos in golf."
