The Charleston Amateur Players Tour made its way to Savannah, GA this past weekend, taking on the scenic yet demanding layout at Crosswinds Golf Club.
Known for its open, parkland-style design, Crosswinds offers a rare blend of playability and challenge, welcoming golfers without the confinement of homes along the course. The par-72 course features a unique setup with five par 5s and five par 3s, creating a dynamic round that tests every aspect of a player’s game.
Undulating Tifeagle greens, rolling Bermuda fairways, and strategically placed bunkers are complemented by streams, ponds, and marshland that not only framed each hole beautifully, but demanded precision throughout the round.
The Charleston Amateur Players Tour travels the Lowcountry of South Carolina, along with portions of Georgia, offering golfers of all skill levels a chance to compete in one of five different divisions. The tour also has mid-am and senior net divisions each tournament, along with an optional cash skins game. Each tournament, division winners are awarded cash and VISA gift card prizes as the tour strives to create a world class golfing experience.
