Conveniently located in eastern Greenville County, just minutes away from I-85, I-385, Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport and both the City of Greer and downtown Greenville, the upscale community of Thornblade is Upstate living at its finest.
History
Established in 1988, this master-designed residential community was developed around the prestigious 18-hole Thornblade Golf Course, designed by Tom Fazio and the home club of PGA professional and nine time PGA tour winner and 18 PGA Champions tour winner, Jay Hass. Complete with a driving range, pro shop, professional golf instruction, handicap tracking, the Champs Grille and The Pub, along with the men-only Haas Grill, the Thornblade Golf Course has reached national recognition due in part to the BMW Charity Pro-Am; a weeklong event drawing A list entertainment and sports celebrities to the Upstate to help raise money for a number of worthy local charities.
The Thornblade Club
A members-only full-service facility the Thornblade Club boasts a plethora of amenities including an outdoor competition-size pool complete with pool clubhouse and café, 11 lighted tennis courts, nature trails and bike paths. Home to a vibrant social community with plenty of planned activities for all ages, the Thornblade Club hosts a monthly Kid’s Entertainment Night. And there is always something going on for the adults, from wine tastings to live entertainment in the lounge, along with holiday parties and special Date Night events.
Neighborhoods
When initially laid out, Thornblade had almost 400 buildable lots, ranging in size from a quarter acre to over a half acre and over a quarter of those lots bordered either the golf course or the clubhouse. Thornblade has six individual neighborhoods, three of which are gated, and are home to approximately 500 single family homes, condominiums and townhomes. Each thoughtfully designed community has sidewalks, custom neighborhood lighting and plenty of greenspace for family picnics, impromptu touch football games or simply spending time with the neighbors.
Home prices range from between $400,000 to over a million dollars and in size from approximately 2,500 sq. ft. to over 9,000 sq. ft.. Most residences enjoy serene views of gently rolling hills, lush greenspace full of mature trees and creatively landscaped yards.
