It’s euphoric

For the 21st time, your favorite restaurants and local venues will host lunches, dinners, hands-on classrooms, and large festival-style events for euphoria — taking over Greenville Thursday, Sept. 17-Sunday, Sept. 20.
I’ve lost count of the euphoria events I’ve attended, so consider me a local expert to help you decide where to go.

Sports
⛳ Kawonu’s up to par
The first grass was laid the day I visited. | Photo by GVLtoday
As all eyes turn to Augusta National for Masters Week, I turned my focus to Kawonu Golf Club, Greenville County’s first invitation-only, private golf club in about 30 years. The ~294 acre property near Simpsonville is bordered by the Reedy River, Highway 418, and Fork Shoals Road and promises to be one of our region’s most exclusive new destinations for golfers when it opens in 2027.
It’s designed by Andrew Green, one of the most sought-after golf course architects in the world. The golf-only club will blend championship-caliber play as it honors the land’s history and Cherokee roots.
I also saw where the footprint of the clubhouse has been dug — with the dirt utilized in other areas of the course’s construction. There will also be on-site cottages and a Golf House offering state-of-the-art indoor practice and teaching facilities.
