Not sure what qualifies as "Upstate SC", but the only SC course I have played with a caddy program is The Ocean Course.

Ocean Course would be in the Low Country.  Upstate SC would be western to NW side of SC.
I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

Average temperatures in the summer are in the mid to high 80's with humidity to match.  My guess is most people prefer to take a cart and a cold beverage in that climate.

South Carolina just isn't, generally speaking, the sort of place where caddies are a "thing".

The closest geographically to the area being asked about is Sage Valley down in Edgefield County, not too far from Aiken and Augusta. Go about an hour or two north of there and you enter the Upstate. And it's a bit more Upstate-like than the coastal areas, culturally.

But almost any course in South Carolina with a caddie program is going to be either a resort or a "second club" type of place which caters to a national membership. Local clubs haven't generally had caddies around here since probably the 60's.

Parker:

Wade Hampton is just over the statelines of GA and SC in Cashiers, NC. They have a limited caddie program and a fairly short season.

I know you're not asking about the rest of SC but Secession has no carts and all caddies.  May River has caddies as does Chechessee. I don't know about Yeamans but I have to believe they do.  Cassique and the River Club also have caddies.

No caddies at Yeamans.

Are caddies available at Palmetto if you book them in advance?

I can only speak for Greenville CC, Thornblade, and The Cliffs (the most likely candidates that could be considered in the upstate) but none that i know of anywhere nearby either.

I can not think of any.
Charlotte CC, Sage Valley and Wade Hampton are the only examples nearby.
