Player Information

Orangeburg Qualifying Site Moved to Wyboo Golf Club in Manning, SC

Due to recently announced course renovations at the Country Club of Orangeburg, the CGA has moved the Carolinas Amateur Championship Sectional Qualifier to Wyboo Golf Club in Manning, SC on June 23. The CGA apologizes for the site change but it was necessary as the Country Club of Orangeburg will have nine holes closed beginning the week of June 15. The CGA tried to find an available golf course as near as possible to Orangeburg. Wyboo Golf Club is about 45 miles from Orangeburg and located 9 miles off I-95 exit 119. Players have until Monday, June 8 to change qualifying sites. Please note that Cherokee National in Gaffney, SC is the only qualifying site with open spots. Tanglewood Park and Governors Club are both full with alternates. The CGA thanks Wyboo Golf Club for their generosity.
