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.

This high-profile collegiate event brought the best men and women collegiate golfers to Congaree for a week of USA vs. International team match play.

The golf course at Congaree boasts 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. The focal point of consistently providing firm and fast conditions continues to drive Congaree's reputation into the elite category of reputable courses.
