Congaree Golf Club

Congaree Golf Club plays a massive 7,850 yards from the championship tees at par 72 in Ridgeland, making it one of the longest courses in the United States. The course occupies a former rice plantation with wide, open corridors exposed to wind. The design draws from links and Sandbelt influences, with firm, fast-running turf and bold green contours that accept ground-game approaches. A full driving range and practice area serve the membership.

Elite pricing and private membership limit access. The club also has a philanthropic mission, providing junior golf programming for underserved youth in the Lowcountry. Ridgeland sits between Hilton Head and Beaufort, in rural Jasper County. At 7,850 yards, the course’s scale sets it apart from other layouts in South Carolina, and the open, wind-exposed design creates a playing experience unlike the tree-lined plantation courses more common in the state.
