Cross Winds Golf Club


About this course
Cross Winds Golf Club sits in Greenville, South Carolina, designed by John LaFoy, an architect known for his work in the Carolinas region. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the South Carolina Piedmont, where elevation changes and natural contours provide variety in stance and shot-making. LaFoy's design approach typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the existing landscape features into the routing. The layout moves through wooded corridors and open areas, with mature trees framing many holes and influencing strategy off the tee. Water features appear on several holes, adding both visual interest and strategic considerations for approach shots. The greens present moderate undulation, requiring attention to pin placement and speed control. Bunkering is positioned to define landing areas and protect green complexes without overwhelming the recreational golfer. Cross Winds serves as a daily-fee facility in the Greenville area, contributing to the region's golf offerings in the Upstate. The course provides a straightforward test of golf that reflects the character of Piedmont layouts—tree-lined fairways, elevation variety, and a balance between challenge and accessibility. The club operates with a focus on accommodating public play and local golfers seeking a reliable round in a natural setting.

Getting there
The journey to Cross Winds Golf Club begins at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, a compact and efficient gateway serving South Carolina's Upstate, just twenty minutes northwest of the club. The drive traces the gentle roll of the Piedmont foothills, where suburban sprawl gradually yields to wooded ridgelines and the quiet pastoral character that defines this corner of the Blue Ridge's southern reach. Cross Winds sits tucked into this transitional landscape, where the approach along country roads feels deliberately removed from the bustle of downtown Greenville, yet never far from the city's refined dining and cultural offerings.
