2025 Plantation Course at Edisto Tournament Results

With cold temperatures and winter weather expected in the Lowcountry this week, the Charleston Amateur Players Tour took advantage of the final few days of warm weather, hosting its tournament at the Plantation Course at Edisto on Sunday.  

The golfers enjoyed the beautiful layout of the Plantation Course on scenic Edisto Island. The sole golf course on the island enjoys an interesting history dating back to its origin in 1973. Originally known as ‘Oristo’ and later as ‘The Edisto Beach Golf Club’, the course takes pride in its new name, ‘The Plantation Course at Edisto’. 

The Charleston Amateur Players Tour travels the Lowcountry of South Carolina offering golfers of all skill levels a chance to compete in one of ten different divisions. The tour is designed, “by the players, for the players” and lives up to its motto with each tournament.  

On Sunday, golfers competed for nearly $3,000 in cash and VISA gift card prizes as the tour also hosts an optional skins game at each tournament.
