COLLETON RIVER CLUB
Located along the Atlantic Ocean in Bluffton, S.C., the Colleton River Club hosted the 2015 United States Golf Association Junior Amateur Championship. Colleton River is a 1,500-acre, member-owned golf community that is surrounded on three sides by low-country.
The Dye Course has hosted prestigious events, including the 2015 U.S. Amateur, and continues to host the South Carolina Amateur and US Open qualifiers. The challenging, yet visually stunning terrain, also caught the attention of Academy award-winning director Robert Redford, who chose it as a filming location for "The Legend of Bagger Vance."
COLLETON RIVER COLLEGIATE HISTORY
The Spartans have captured a pair of Colleton River Collegiate titles, including in 2019 at 12-under-par 852 (282-281-289) – six shots ahead of Iowa State. Donnie Trosper won the individual crown at 10-under-par 206 (69-67-70) for his first career win as a Spartan. In 2017, the Spartans entered the final round two strokes back of the lead, but shot a 4-over-par 292 in the third round to win the tournament with a 20-over-par 884 (293-299-292) to win the tournament by three shots. The Spartans have finished in the top four of the tournament in seven of the last eight seasons.
Georgia Southern has won the team title the last two years. In 2024, the Eagles fired a 32-under par 832 to finish two strokes ahead of Chattanooga (30-under par 834). Rutgers placed third (23-under par 841), with Kansas State fourth (22-under par 842) and the Spartans were tied for fifth place with Minnesota.

LUBAHN'S THOUGHTS
"We get to play in a lot of special events each season but there's something special for us about our trips to South Carolina and the Colleton River Club. This is a gorgeous area and we're proud of the work that has gone into making the Colleton River Collegiate a great college golf tournament. We get some terrific teams that want to play here and the tournament chairman, Tom Eagan, and his staff are second-to-none. We're looking forward to a great weekend."
