Anderson Brothers Bank High School Invitational

 

Now in its 28th year, the Anderson Brothers Bank High School Invitational attracts the best high school golfers to South Carolina’s Pee Dee region every spring.

Anderson Brothers Bank established the High School Invitational in 2000 to give young golfers across the Pee Dee region a championship-caliber event of their own. Four years later, in 2004, the tournament earned an official spot on the South Carolina Junior Golf Association's tournament schedule, a mark of its growing reputation. By 2008, the field had outgrown state lines, welcoming teams from North Carolina and Georgia alongside South Carolina's best programs. Today, it's regarded as one of the most popular high school golf tournaments in the state, drawing individual competitors and full school squads for two days of 36-hole stroke-play competition.

The Invitational is a 36-hole stroke-play championship played over two rounds. In 2026, round one was hosted at Darlington Country Club, a course dating back to 1926 and known for its pines, oaks, and Black Creek, which runs through it. Round two moved to Florence’s Traces Golf Club, which opened in 1991, using its Meadows and Woodlands nines.
