Wonderful bike shop with accommodating staff. They went above and beyond to deliver to our hotel outside of their normal delivery area. Bikes were great quality. We plan to return and will definitely book through Reedy Rides again.

Reviewed By SuzVuz - Vero Beach, United States

My husband & I were staying at the Hampton Inn Downtown Riverplace. Freehub bicycles is located right nearby. Loved the selection of bikes to rent. They asked us what type of biking we did & picked out the perfect cruisers for us to rent & adjusted the seat heights perfectly. The bikes were in excellent condition, the rates were reasonable & it’s located right on the bike trail. The path is relatively flat & very pleasant. We biked in both directions, up to Furman University which has pleasant grounds & to the zoo in the other direction. The path in the zoo direction branches off so keep track of where you are. We rented our bikes for half day & found it to be just right. Would highly recommend this bike shop.

GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail

Reviewed By erdocr2

Bike riding the swamp rabbit! Fun. We started in travelers rest (TR) and went down to downtown Greenville. Had lunch at Halls (recommend) and biked backed to TR. trail over all flat with slight grade up from greenville to TR. Rented bikes in TR. overall good day to get some exercise and enjoy lunch with friends. If I did it again I would go the opposite way. Greenville to TR, lunch then slight downslope all the way to Greenville! Recommend this nice trail!!

The Preserve at Verdae

Reviewed By tomy539 - Wausau, United States

Absolutely fabulous golf course. The course can be very difficult, but does offer multiple tee so players should select carefully. Having said that if you like a challenge and a well played out golf course with plenty of visually striking holes you need to play here. The course is basically built around a stream for most of the front nine. There are some tight spots, but till landing areas. The back nine is more rolling, with plenty of elevation changes. Friendly pro-shop staff and starter. Well worth the time and a few lost balls.

Haas Family Golf

Reviewed By Camino_Cap

Before 11 AM on weekdays, it’s “Happy Hour” and the lovely staff at Haas Family Golf will supply golf enthusiasts with their largest bucket - 136 balls - for $12. What a great deal! Facility was clean, the flags create bright and beautiful targets, and the tree-lined range is relaxing and lovely, especially on a crisp and pretty day like the one we were treated to. There are mats and also an area to hit off natural turf, as well as putting and chipping areas. Next time we are back in the area, we’ll be back again! Perfect practice facility.
