Thinking About Living in Thornblade Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Thornblade Club and the surrounding Greenville golf market.
Thornblade Club is a private golf club in Greer, South Carolina, co-founded in 1988 by PGA Tour player Jay Haas. Built around an 18-hole Tom Fazio course, it anchors the Thornblade residential community and is best known regionally for hosting the Korn Ferry Tour's BMW Charity Pro-Am for 15 consecutive years.
Golf & Course
The course is a Tom Fazio design with a 2019 bunker redesign and a slope rating of 138. The club's standout credential is its 15-year run hosting the Korn Ferry Tour's BMW Charity Pro-Am, a real, sustained professional golf tournament rather than a one-time exhibition, giving it a genuine competitive-golf pedigree among Greenville-area clubs.
