It has 3 nine hole courses and a nine hole, par 3 short course among the hills and valleys of Butler County.

Real Pit Barbecue is located just off of I65 at the northern most Greenville exit and is not impressive when you drive up. It is a small space with just enough room for the couple that owns it to move around each other. The taste of their barbecue, camp stew, and other choices have people from all over the area standing in line. There are many from out of town that will stop when passing through Greenville. Tastes just like an old fashioned 4th of July family gathering.

Greenville is a great small town that is full of Southern charm and interesting people. It maintains the small town atmosphere while being just minutes from Montgomery, the state's capitol. The downtown area is making a comeback with such attractions as a new art gallery and a bakery that has goodies that would appeal to anyone's sweet tooth. Camberian Ridge is a 36 hole championship golf course that is part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail and attracts golfers from across the country and internationally. Connie and I have lived in Greenville since the early 1980's and have found it to be an ideal place to raise a family and to make friends that last a lifetime.
