Greer's New Home Court Has a Full 2027 Calendar Before Its Doors Open

Who is the Prisma Health Performance Center being built for? The building on South Highway 14 gives two answers. City membership rates are already posted, with a lower price for Greer residents. In its October update, the City of Greer also said the 2027 tournament calendar already had events booked in every month from February through December.

The building is meant to do both jobs, and the city has said so from the start. To use it well when it opens, it helps to know how the two jobs fit together.

For Decades, Greer Had One Gym

The ForGreer project page puts it plainly. The city has historically owned one gym for indoor recreation, at Victor Park, and families have packed into it for indoor sports for decades. The city says that aging building can no longer meet the needs of a growing population, so it sold the Victor Park property and bought land for a larger facility.

The growth is real. In October, the city said Greer's population estimates now top 50,000 residents.

Here is what replaces that one gym, per the city's construction updates and the facility's website:

• Nine basketball courts. Eight are in the large gym, and they convert into 16 volleyball courts. The ninth is a hardwood court in the championship arena.
• Pickleball. The facility's About page lists 27 pickleball courts and 18 volleyball courts in total.
• Fitness and movement. An indoor walking track, a fitness center, a mat room, and multi-sport simulators.
• Gathering space. The CBL Community Hall, plus a café.

It's a court-and-fitness building, and there's no pool among its amenities.

The Second Job Was in the Plan From the Start

Greer planned a second purpose for the building alongside replacing Victor Park. The city expects the new building to attract regional and national events that bring tourism dollars into Greer's economy. The bookings have arrived ahead of the building. When the facility's website launched in late September, the City of Greer's October 2 update pointed readers to it:

"You can even check out the tournament calendar for 2027, which already has events booked in every month from February to December."

A building with nine basketball courts can host a full tournament and still serve the public, and the membership terms show how the city plans to share it. Membership covers the fitness center, the indoor walking track, and the courts, with court availability "subject to facility schedule." Open play for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball is included, and the hours run on a posted open-play calendar. In practice, the walking track and fitness center are a member's everyday use. Court time will depend on the open-play calendar and whatever events are booked that week.

The City of Greer's October 23 update made the same point from the operator's side: the event calendar "is already filling up."

What a Resident Membership Costs

Rates are posted on the Memberships & Programs page, and the city prices its own residents below everyone else.

The resident discount is $60 a year for an individual and $100 a year for a family on the annual plan. The page notes that "City of Greer Resident" is a selectable status on the sign-up form, separate from non-resident. A Greer mailing address can cover homes outside city limits, so it's worth confirming which side of that line your household is on before choosing a tier.

Every membership tier also gets 10 percent off simulator rentals. Memberships aren't on sale yet. The site invites people to join a Founding Member list to lock in their rate and get notified when memberships go live. Non-members can buy a day pass at the front desk.

The Programs Victor Park Couldn't Hold

Once the building opens, the city's own programs get the extra court space. In its October 2 update, the city said its Parks, Recreation & Tourism department will revive the boys basketball program and start Greer's first girls basketball leagues, with 8U, 10U, and 12U teams. The city's October 23 construction update gave the reason directly. The number of courts lets the city offer programs that "simply weren't possible" with one small gym.

Prisma Health's August announcement lists more: youth and adult leagues, senior fitness activities, summer camps, and community events. Prisma Health will also run its orthopedic and rehabilitation services in the building.

The rental side covers smaller occasions too, according to the facility's rentals page and FAQ:

1. CBL Community Hall. It has integrated audio and video and access to a catering kitchen, and it splits into Hall A and Hall B. The FAQ lists the event hall at 5,200 square feet.
2. Birthday parties. Three hours of private access, one sports court, and a party room.
3. Simulators. Golf, plus baseball, football, basketball, soccer, hockey, and lacrosse.
4. Large events. The FAQ lists 90,000 square feet of open event space for trade shows, corporate events, and community gatherings.

Booking requests go through a contact form on the site.

What's Happening on S. Highway 14 This Month

The facility's address is 1529 S. SC-14. By October 2, the building was "in the dry," meaning the exterior shell was finished and the structure fully enclosed.

Late October brought trucks of hardwood. The city explained that the wood sits inside the building for a couple of weeks so it can adjust to the temperature and moisture and won't shrink or expand after installation. Contractors expected floor installation to start by the middle of November, so the courts should be going down around now.

The City of Greer's Greerview for the week of November 2 covered the outside work. Crews were building the plaza walls and stairs to the main entrance, pouring sidewalks for the outdoor walking path, and laying sod.

That path is the piece most likely to matter on an ordinary weekday. The paved route will run from the S. Highway 14 entrance, around the building, along the wetlands on the 26-acre property, and down to the S. Buncombe Road entrance. It will be about a mile long. The covered plaza at the main entrance is meant as a gathering spot for groups arriving for events and activities.

The city says construction is on track for a grand opening in early 2027, and the ForGreer timeline lists expected completion in the first quarter of 2027. The first tournaments on the calendar fall in February.

How the City Paid for It

The money shows why the building carries both jobs. In December 2025, city council approved a guaranteed maximum price of $69,334,076 for construction. Under that agreement, Harper General Contractors absorbs costs above the cap and shares any unused funds with the city. Installment-purchase revenue bonds issued in 2025 raised $52 million, and $42 million of that went to the sports center's remaining balance.

Prisma Health's naming rights add $3 million over ten years. That covers about 4 percent of the construction price.

The center is one of four ForGreer projects. The first, Greer's $16 million Public Safety Training Center on Hood Road, opened on September 29, 2026, for police, fire, and EMS training. The other two are a new fire station for the northern part of the city and a second downtown parking garage on Depot Street, which the city says will serve visitors to Greer Station.

When our team helps a family compare Greer addresses, a building like this changes the conversation. A household with a 10U player, a pickleball habit, or a parent who wants an indoor track for winter walks will want to know where it sits and whether they qualify for resident rates.
