One trip to Edisto Island was not enough for the Charleston Amateur Players Tour, as it returned to the Plantation Course at Edisto this past weekend after making an earlier stop at the island layout in January. The second visit proved just as popular, drawing a strong field of golfers to one of the Lowcountry’s most scenic courses.
Golfers were treated to a memorable experience at the Plantation Course at Edisto, a scenic and challenging layout located on beautiful Edisto Island along South Carolina’s coast. Surrounded by the island’s natural beauty, the course offers players a unique blend of Lowcountry landscapes, towering oaks and coastal marsh views.
The Plantation Course also carries a rich history. Established in 1973, it has been a fixture on Edisto Island for more than five decades. Originally known as “Oristo,” the course later operated as the Edisto Beach Golf Club before adopting its current name, the Plantation Course at Edisto. Today, as the island’s only golf course, it continues to provide golfers with a distinctive playing experience while honoring the traditions and heritage that have made it a longtime destination for visitors and residents alike.
The Charleston Amateur Players Tour provides golfers across South Carolina’s Lowcountry with opportunities to compete against players of similar ability levels through five different divisions. Built around the philosophy of being “by the players, for the players,” the tour focuses on creating a competitive and enjoyable experience for amateur golfers. At each event, participants have the chance to win cash and VISA gift card prizes, while an optional cash skins game adds another layer of excitement to tournament play.
