Cougar Classic
Women’s Golf Set to Defend Cougar Classic Title
9/6/2026 | Women's Golf
OXFORD, Miss. – Oxford, Miss. – The nationally ranked Ole Miss women's golf team is set to travel to the Cougar Classic at Yeamans Hall Club in Charleston, South Carolina, on Sept. 7-8.
Entering her 12th season at the helm, head coach Kory Henkes leads the Rebels back to the Charleston after Ole Miss captured last season's Cougar Classic title. Kajsalotta Svarvar finished second in the event last year.
BEHIND THE ARCHITECTURE
Seth Raynor designed the course at Yeamans Hall Club in South Carolina in 1925. It has been called "a time capsule in Charleston" in appreciation of it embodying all that is good in traditional golf course design.
Yeamans Hall enjoys just about the firmest playing conditions of any course on the eastern seaboard of the United States and it is blessed with wide, tree-lined fairways and greens which are a trademark of their designer – all except two are receptive to the running approach shot.

Dates: Monday, September 7 - Tuesday, September 8
Location: Yeamans Hall Club – Charleston, South Carolina
Course Information: Par 71 - 6269 yards.
