Holly Tree Country Club sits in Simpsonville, a growing community in the Upstate region of South Carolina between Greenville and the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The course was designed by George Cobb, a prolific architect who shaped numerous layouts across the Carolinas and the Southeast from the 1950s through the 1970s. Cobb's work typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural contours and vegetation of each site. The routing at Holly Tree reflects Cobb's characteristic approach to residential club design, with holes that move through rolling piedmont terrain and mature tree-lined corridors. The layout features a mix of risk-reward opportunities and strategic options off the tee, with greens that require careful approach play. Water comes into play on several holes, and bunkers are positioned to define landing areas and protect green complexes without overwhelming the average member. As a private club in the Simpsonville area, Holly Tree serves a membership drawn from the surrounding Upstate communities. The course provides a traditional country club experience with a focus on member golf and social activities. The setting offers a relatively quiet, wooded environment typical of South Carolina piedmont courses, with the layout integrated into a residential community that developed around the original design.
