Olde Eight
Nearly a year after breaking ground, the Olde Eight golf course has officially opened. Developed by Greenwood Land Holdings, LLC and managed by Front Light Building Company Development, the project introduces a reimagined golf course.
“Seeing Olde Eight come to life is incredibly rewarding, especially as a golfer.” managing member of Greenwood Land Holdings Mitch Kovitz said. “This $400 million investment reflects our deep commitment to Greenwood County through creating jobs, driving tourism, and delivering a destination that blends world-class golf with an exceptional quality of life. I am truly excited to see this vision start coming to life.”
With this investment, more than 50 new team members have been hired at Olde Eight.
“No detail has been overlooked. From our golf course design and landscaping to the homes and amenities, Olde Eight represents our team’s dedication to excellence.” Front Light Building Company CEO Matt Green said. “This is more than a golf course—it’s an investment in Greenwood’s future. Olde Eight reflects the kind of growth and innovation that will continue to move this community forward.”
The Old Eight golf course features a newly redesigned 18-hole championship layout by golf course architect Drew Rogers, who led the complete transformation of the former Stoney Point course. Rogers preserved the original routing while redesigning each hole to deliver a modern, balanced experience suited for players of all skill levels.
Olde Eight’s golf amenities will include a 9-hole short course, putting course, and practice and instruction facility known as the “Repair Shop: that will serve as the home of a teaching academy led by director of instruction Shane LeBaron, a Callaway Golf master staff member.
“The Callaway instruction facility is a game-changer for our course,” LeBaron said. “It brings world-class golf education and technology to players of all levels, enhancing the overall experience and setting a new standard for instruction in the region. It’s not just about playing better, it’s about building a deeper connection to the game.”
Construction of the short course and additional practice facilities are scheduled to begin early 2026.
