The Foothills Club 
Foothills started approximately 22 years ago as a gathering of friends at house parties in Georgia. The premise of good friends having fun together in a no pressure situation was key. As a result the parties grew and a more accommodating place needed to be found.
The party was moved to a motel in Spartanburg, South Carolina, as local Georgia laws were too strict. A no drugs policy was adopted for obvious reasons, and no nudity in the ballroom policy was put in to effect to make newer couples to the lifestyle a lot more comfortable. As it turns out it also follows South Carolina Law perfectly.
The Motel was reluctant at first but warmed up to the group immediately. As a result they had to come up with a name, and because of the ballroom was named the Palmetto Room the Palmetto Society was born. After several ownership changes, and a few name changes at the motel it was determined that a change in venue was required.
It was at this point the name Palmetto Socials was adopted with a move to a motel in Greenville, South Carolina. The parties grew, however, with the failing health of the original owner, some of the luster seemed to leave, and a small core of older generation members were left to support the club.
After his eventual death, his wife and daughter continued to run the club. By then the club seemed to be settled into that core group of older couples. Soon after, the daughter was left to run things, and she decided to fold the club. At this time, three individuals got together and decided to take over the club and Foothills was born.
After an initial period of learning, it was apparent that committee could not run the club and the present owner stepped up and took charge. Soon the club started to boom again. The club has since kept Foothills in the name, and is still referred to as Foothills. The club stayed in Greenville, South Carolina until 2004, when the deterioration of the motel necessitated a move.
As luck would have it the motel where the club initially started was available. The first party was held in the main building using three small ballrooms, including the Palmetto Room. As anyone at that party could tell you we needed more room. So it was decided to use the extremely large ballroom across the parking lot. All of a sudden the motel was sold, and things were looking up.
A week before the annual pool party it was found out that another motel had to be found as the remodeling process was not going smooth, and only a handful of rooms would be available. In less than a week a new motel was located just up the road. It was a slightly confusing time, but the club was intact.
Since then the club has had its ups and downs, but continues to grow. Taking into account the wishes of it’s members, and the ability to bring it to fruition has kept The Foothills Club a friendly no pressure place to meet new couples and have fun with people who become longtime friends. So come visit with us and enjoy the Foothills experience as we continue to grow and have fun.
August, 2008, The Foothills Club wrote the final chapter of its book with its host hotel as we turned the lights out one last time. September 2008, the club moved its monthly events to a larger and more luxurious hotel just minutes away. We look forward to writing many exciting chapters in our new book! Come be a part of history in the making!
November 2008. Due to issues with the new location's management, the club moved back to its location prior to August.  Under new management, the hotel has and will continue to undergo many exciting changes in 2009.  We anticipate things being very different throughout our future and we hope you will help us make history!
September 2009. The passing of Dexter caught us all by surprise, but his wish was for the club to continue on. The September party went on as usual in celebration of his life.
New Year's Eve 2009. A long term contract was signed with a 3-star hotel for 2010, offering our members the same hotel rate currently being paid for a huge improvement in amenities. Still in the Spartanburg area, the club continues to grow with many new couples visiting each and every month. The Foothills Club continues to be A Lifestyle Tradition.
