Greenville Welcomes a Culinary Delight at 3’s Golf and Grill
Greenville is buzzing with excitement thanks to the culinary talents of Chef Michael Toscano, who recently took over the kitchen at 3’s Golf and Grill. Located just off Villa Road, this casual spot is bringing a fresh twist to golf course dining, and locals could not be more thrilled!
A Unique Approach to Golf Course Dining
So what makes 3’s Golf and Grill different from your typical golf club restaurant? Well, let’s start with the menu! Toscano, who has made a name for himself with his various restaurants in Charleston, including Le Farfalle and Da Toscano Porchetta Shop, teamed up with Executive Chef Chris Wehking to create a menu that combines scratch-made cooking with vibrant international flavors.
Gone are the days of boring club sandwiches and bland burgers. Instead, you can delight your taste buds with scratch-made dishes like the house-made corned beef Reuben, featuring tangy pepper vinegar collards and hoop cheese on crispy Texas toast. For those craving wings, prepare to be amazed by Peruvian rotisserie-style wings. They’re marinated for a full 24 hours, then roasted, fried, and served with lush Aji Amarillo sauce—definitely not your average bar food!
A Casual Yet Inviting Atmosphere
As you step into 3’s Golf and Grill, you’ll immediately notice the inviting space with both indoor and outdoor seating options. Roll-up garage doors create an open-air vibe, while fire pits and Adirondack chairs offer a cozy spot to relax—whether you’re hitting the greens or simply enjoying a meal with friends.
Owner Davis Senza purchased the par-three golf course in 2020 and envisioned a welcoming place for everyone, regardless of their golf skills. Toscano echoed this sentiment, saying, “You don’t have to be a golfer to come eat.” This is a place where anyone can feel at home, soaking in the beautiful surroundings while enjoying delicious food.
Bringing the Best of the Culinary World to Greenville
Michael Toscano’s journey as a chef is quite fascinating. It all started when he worked as a cart cleaner at a golf club back in his hometown of Houston, Texas. His curiosity for the kitchen bloomed when he made friends with the club’s chef, leading him to discover his true passion for cooking.
Instead of accepting a college golf scholarship, Toscano opted for a culinary apprenticeship at Pinehurst Resort. That decision set him off on a remarkable journey through kitchens around the country, including working under renowned chefs like Thomas Keller and Mario Batali in New York City.
Exciting Future Plans
As Toscano settles into his new role at 3’s Golf and Grill, he’s also looking ahead. Plans include expanding to a second location in Charlotte next year, which aims to replicate the laid-back yet high-quality dining experience. The beverage list has seen an upgrade too, with a focus on local craft beers and a curated selection of bourbons and whiskeys.
With Toscano’s dedication to quality ingredients and passionate cooking, 3’s Golf and Grill is set to become a beloved dining destination in Greenville. Whether you’re a golf enthusiast or simply someone who enjoys good food and good company, this spot promises a delightful experience.
