Sergeant Jasper Golf Club
Acquired by Congaree Foundation in 2021, the historic Sergeant Jasper Golf Club quickly captured headlines across the sport and has drawn support from PGA TOUR stars who want to help #RechargeTheSarge.
Sergeant Jasper will support access to the game of golf by providing a new home to area high school teams and a quality public course for local golfers. In the past, the lack of available facilities has been a roadblock for area schools looking to establish their own golf programs. With access to the club provided to these teams at no cost, competitive high school golf can expand and flourish in the Lowcountry.
