Anderson Brothers Bank High School Invitational

Since its establishment in 1926, Darlington Country Club has set a standard of excellence. The fairways are bordered by tall, mature pine trees and beautiful Darlington Oaks, while the wide, winding "Black Creek" runs through the property, highlighting the picturesque scenery. The rolling undulations on the greens and the steep slopes around them create a unique challenge for each approach shot and reward the golfer with a creative short game. The greens' size and design vary to complement each hole's length and difficulty level.

The Traces Golf Club opened in 1991 as an 18-hole semi-private facility. In 1993, Traces opened a third nine due to golfer demand and the club's reputation for providing golfers with excellent playing conditions. Our tournament will use the 2 nine-hole courses, Meadows and Woodlands. The Meadows is a James Goodson design that offers a park land style course with some unique features and elevation changes. Famed course architect Ron Carl designed the Woodlands and is also a park land style nine. Woodlands is best known for its two challenging par fives. The Traces Golf Club is very supportive of junior golf and has hosted several South Carolina Junior Golf Association events. 

The tournament is grateful to have the opportunity to hold its event at these exceptional facilities, staffed by professionals who are enthusiastic about accommodating all participants. The atmosphere and professionalism of everyone involved in the tournament have been crucial in establishing it as one of the most popular high school tournaments in South Carolina.

The tournament was created as a 36-hole stroke-play competition for high school golf teams in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina. It has been held every spring since 2000 and has become a popular event, now open to both public and private school golf teams from all over South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia.

Thanks to ongoing promotion efforts, the tournament has gained more recognition and prestige over the years. In 2004, it was officially accepted into the South Carolina Junior Golf Association's tournament list for individual state rankings. In 2008, tournament officials expanded the field to include teams from neighboring states, increasing the competition's diversity and competitiveness.
