Registration Process
Registration Window Registrations will be open from January 5, 2026 through
February 2, 2026. No priority will be given to the date you submit an entry. Receipt of an entry form will be confirmed via email. All invitees will receive an additional communication on January 27, 2026 as a reminder that the registration window will be closing soon.
Exemptions 8 Players will then be exempt into each division from the list of players who submitted an entry. Exemptions will be granted based upon previous scores, participation, and national record.
Lottery System Should more than 96 entries be received, a random computer generated lottery will be conducted to determine the field. The number of places allotted to each division will be proportionate to the total number of entries received. The lottery, if necessary, will occur on February 2, 2026. Players not cleared into the field will be placed on an alternates list, the order of which will also be determined by computer. Back to Table of Contents
Registration Process Cont.
The lottery will only occur when the total number of entrants exceeds 96. Any invitee wishing to register after the field and waitlist has been established may do so until the entry deadline. They will be placed at the end of the waitlist in chronological order of entry receipt date.
Entry Fee After the field has been established, an email confirmation will be sent notifying all those that have submitted an entry of their current status. Those cleared into the field will then have 21 days to submit the entry via VENMO (preferable) or by check. (Venmo and check mailing instructions will be provided in the confirmation email). The cut-off date to post the entry fee is February 24th. Failure to do so will results in that spot going to the next player on the alternates list.

Riverton Pointe Club
After a one year hiatus, we will be returning to Riverton Pointe this year. With large, subtle greens and fairways lined with tall sea pines and splashes of colorful wildflowers, the course is designed to harmonize perfectly with the lush Lowcountry landscape.

Berkeley Hall Club Berkeley Hall’s golf courses are routed with a focus on balance, variety, and flow. The two courses, The North and The South, both provide dramatic perspectives. Significant elevation changes and dramatic water features, along with strategic bunkering, will present worthy challenges. The determination of which of the two courses we will be playing will be made by April 15th. For more information on Berkeley Hall Club, click here.

Old Tabby Links Designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay in 1992 and dramatically renovated by Arnold Palmer Design Company in 2012, the Old Tabby Links provides players at all skill levels with an enjoyable test. Currently rated # 44 on the Golfweek list of Best Residential Courses and #134 Best Modern Course, it is a perfect complement to the "nature preserve" setting of Spring Island. It is truly a memorable "walk in the park". With the front nine winding through a majestic live oak forest and a back nine playing in the more links-like setting of old cotton and hunting fields, Old Tabby links is really two courses in one. The course crescendos throughout the back nine reaching a dramatic conclusion on holes 17 and 18. For more information on Old Tabby Links, click here.

Tournament Charities While the Lowcountry Senior Invitational is neither a “for profit” enterprise nor a “charity event,” each year we hope to have a little left over after we pay the expenses of operating the event. Excess monies will be donated in the name of the “Lowcountry Senior Invitational” to the following Charities:
The Congaree Foundation
Folds of Honor Foundation
The last few years we have been able to donate roughly $3,000 each year.
