A private second-floor space accessible via two unmarked doors off Washington St. in the heart of downtown Greenville, SC - What began as a cornerstone of the city’s architectural heritage is being meticulously transformed into a contemporary refuge.
The concept was inspired by the historic gentlemen's and explorers' clubs of London — rooms of leather, mahogany, and unhurried service, where a sporting life found a home in the city. The Upland Club carries that tradition to the American South, with a modern sensibility and a welcome for the whole family.
"The transformation of the space mirrors the transformation the club enables for its member and their properties."
Through the True Clays simulator facility and a structured program of professional shooting instruction, members can sharpen the technical precision that distinguishes a capable shot from a truly accomplished one. The Club curates opportunities for international driven hunts, saltwater expeditions, and fly fishing pursuits — building the skills, connections, and confidence to pursue the sporting life at its highest expression, anywhere in the world.
The Upland Club is, at its heart, a family institution. Purpose-built programming for spouses and children ensures that every member of the household can find their footing in the sporting tradition — from introductory shooting clinics and youth field days to social events designed with families in mind. The Club is a place where the next generation is welcomed, mentored, and inspired to carry the legacy forward.
The Upland Club offers members access to expert-led habitat development programming — connecting them with land management specialists, wildlife biologists, and conservation professionals who can elevate a private hunting estate into a self-sustaining, productive ground for generations to come. Whether you are managing timber, establishing food plots, or curating native game populations, the Club serves as a resource and a community for the serious steward of the land.
A curated progression of experiences — from foundational skills to the full expression of the sporting life.

Mastery
The Sporting Life
In the spirit of a London gentleman's club, the Upland Club provides access to top newspapers and periodicals from around the globe, as well as a collection of books on sporting-related topics and featuring authors like Ernest Hemingway.
In recognition of our sporting focus, the Upland Club library also offers fly-tying kits for members to enjoy. Settle into a leather chair with the morning papers, or take a seat at the bar to tie a fly while you sip a cocktail from your bespoke menu.
Member Bottle Storage
Members keep a personal cabinet behind the bar, stocked with the bottles they prefer. Your selection is always on hand and poured exactly as you like it.
Bespoke Bar Menu
Your cabinet is more than storage. Members build a personal cocktail menu around the bottles they keep — your own drinks, made to your own specifications.
Curated Dining
Order from top downtown restaurants, and the Club's staff will manage the rest — collecting each dish and replating on the Upland Club's English china. Beyond the everyday, members gather for wild game dinners and tasting evening.
Fine Firearms Services
Membership includes space in the Upland Club's secure gun room. Drop off gun cleaning and FFL services also available.

Every surface is a dialogue between Heritage and Modernism. Rich mahogany paneling meets the warmth of saddle leather.
Mahogany & Saddle
The Signature Aesthetic
We reject the high-gloss tech aesthetic. Here, we embrace negative space and intentional asymmetry, creating a private club atmosphere that feels established yet entirely current.
