The Rock Golf Club & Resort
About The Rock Golf Club & Resort
The Rock Golf Club & Resort sits in Pickens, South Carolina, with an 18-hole course laid out across 112 acres of hilly Upstate terrain known for its long views. The signature eighth hole features a tee box positioned above a nearby waterfall.
The property was purchased in 2017 by Anthony Anders, a former NASCAR Whelen All-American Series national champion, in partnership with course superintendent David Greene. Following the sale, the new owners installed TifEagle Bermuda greens and renovated the pro shop. Anders also owns District Park and the Legacy Golf Driving Range in nearby Easley.
