Assistant Superintendent
Congaree is an 18-hole private golf club located in Ridgeland, South Carolina. Designed by world famous golf course architect, Tom Fazio, Congaree opened in 2018 and quickly garnered the reputation of being one of the Southeast’s best golf clubs. Currently ranked #42 in “America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses”, Golf Digest has also recognized Congaree as being the “Best new Course for 2018.”
Congaree’s track record of consistently providing elite playing conditions aided the PGA Tour’s decision to use Congaree as the site for two professional events during the pandemic.
The property has Champion Bermuda greens with TifGrand Bermuda tees, fairways, and surrounds that are framed by large expanses of sandy waste areas and wonderous live oak trees.
More than just world class conditions and a true test of golf, Congaree’s mission is as unique as the 2,200-acre property. Helping the local community in poverty-stricken areas, Congaree has partnered with programs that assist children and families in need. The golf course maintenance department executes Congaree’s mission by providing support to the local municipal Sargeant Jasper Golf Club. A two-week youth camp, hosted in June every year, is the culmination of the Congaree Global Golf Initiative. This beloved program fulfills the potential of disadvantaged high school students from around the globe, who have a passion for golf and good academic standing, by providing them with educational, vocational, and golf-instruction aid.
