Golf and gatherings–it’s what’s in your Greerview this week.

The City of Greer is investing in outdoor recreation and exploration.  For National Trails Day, we want to highlight two projects that are currently in the planning stages: The South Tyger River Greenway and the Wards Creek Trail. These trails are part of a long-range vision and will open up access to parks, schools, neighborhoods, and downtown Greer. The South Tyger River Greenway will be an ADA-accessible trail eventually connecting Country Club Park, Greer Golf, and Greer High School. The Wards Creek Trail will weave neighborhoods into the heart of downtown with a multi-use path and green spaces.

Greer is all about golf this weekend with the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by TD SYNNEX and the opening of a new downtown business. Trade Street Social officially opens to the public today at 4pm. You can pop in to eat or have a drink, but you can also practice your swing on one of the high-tech golf simulators in a casual, air-conditioned space. Trade Street Social has an online booking system. You can reserve a simulator for up to six people for one to two hours. You have to be 18 or older to make a reservation, and if children are included in the group, an adult over 21 has to be with them while they’re using the simulator. The cost includes clubs designed for men, women, righties, and lefties.

The City of Greer is shooting for a mid-summer opening for the new basketball courts at Stevens field, but there’s still more work to do.   The court surface is in, the goals are going up, and final striping is underway. When the project is finished, the courts at Stevens Field will bring opportunities for free play, community events, games, and even skateboarding classes.   We’ll keep you posted on the progress!

Greer’s Moonlight Movies series returns tonight with Tangled on a brand-new LED screen. This means brighter visuals and an earlier start time.   The movie starts at 7 p.m., but before the show, your family can enjoy free crafts, face painting, and a visit from Rapunzel herself.   Stop by the Parks, Recreation & Tourism tent before 6:45 to enter the raffle and learn more about upcoming events.   Moana 2 hits the Moonlight Movies screen next on June 19.

Make sure to stop by the Discover Greer tent on your way into the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by TD SYNNEX this week. Tournament play tees off tomorrow at the Thornblade Club. The City of Greer's tourism team will be just past the tournament entrance with some fan-friendly swag and info about the city’s 18-hole public golf course, Greer Golf. Visit DiscoverGreer.com for more you can explore.

Greer rolled out the welcome mat for BMW Charity Pro-Am week with a downtown celebration. ParTee on Trade filled the streets with live music, local eats, and plenty of free family fun. From Hot as a Pepper’s high-energy set to a car show full of head-turning rides, a kids’ zone, and dozens of local vendors, it was the perfect way to kick off tournament week. Follow BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by TD SYNNEX for all the events leading up to Thursday's tournament play.
