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."

LUBAHN'S THOUGHTS
"Every year we get the chance to come to South Carolina and the Colleton River Club is special for us. This tournament, thanks for the hard work of the club and tournament chairman, Tom Eagan, has become one that teams put on their calendar. This is a gorgeous area and a great place to play the game. We're very fortunate to work with great people who have helped to make the Colleton River Collegiate one of the best in the country."
