Orangeburg Country Club in Orangeburg, S.C. was designed by Ellis Maples and renovated in 2009 by Richard Mandell. The course has deep bunkers and lush fairways lined with tall pine trees while taking in scenic views of the Edisto River. Orangeburg Country Club offers a challenge to golfers of all skill sets. One of the keys to playing well this week is that teams will have to be precise off the tee and find fairways as some of the holes have narrow landing strips. 

 

The championship is conducted at 36 holes of four-ball stroke play.
