Paris Mountain Country Club

Paris Mountain Country Club sits in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the northern edge of Greenville, South Carolina. Designed by Tom Jackson and opened in the mid-1960s, the course occupies rolling, wooded terrain that takes its name from the nearby Paris Mountain State Park. The layout reflects the era's approach to parkland design in the Carolina Piedmont, with tree-lined fairways, elevation changes, and small to mid-sized greens that reward accurate approach play. The routing works across varied topography, moving through stands of hardwoods and pines while incorporating natural elevation shifts that add strategic interest to club selection and shot shaping. Several holes play uphill or downhill, and the property's contours create a mix of stances and lies that test course management. Water comes into play on a handful of holes, typically in the form of ponds or creeks that guard greens or bisect fairways. Paris Mountain Country Club serves as a traditional private club for the Greenville community, offering a family-oriented membership experience. The course provides a straightforward test of golf without excessive length, emphasizing placement and consistency over power. Its location near the state park and the city's northern residential areas gives it a secluded, wooded character despite its proximity to Greenville's suburban growth. The club maintains the layout as a walkable, member-focused course suited to regular play.
