Daniel Island Club
Daniel Island Club is a 36 hole facility, but the tournament will take place on the Ralston Creek Course designed by Rees Jones. The par 72 course stretches to 7,446 yards from the championship tees and is a true Lowcountry gem. The course is set amongst a natural saltwater marsh and opened for play in 2006. Jones stated that the Ralston Creek Course, "… has all the elements of a stern test of golf, including strategically placed, sculpted fairway bunkers, diversely contoured greens, greenside bunkers placed to protect the championship pin positions, and enough length for the long hitters." The course's hardest hole is the par-5 3rd hole which stretches to 618 yards from the tips and whose green is protected by a large lake on the left.
Format and Schedule
The Daniel Island Intercollegiate is a two-day tournament with 36 holes played on the first day and 18 holes played on the second day. Play begins on Halloween, Sunday (October 31) with 36 holes on deck for the Panthers.
Last Time Out
High Point finished in 12th place at the 2021 Wolfpack Intercollegiate. HPU's top finisher was Christian Castillo, who finished in a tie for 25th place. Castillo shot a collegiate career-low round of 67 (-5) in the first round of the tournament.
Strong Field
The Daniel Island Intercollegiate features the strongest field that High Point has competed in this year as it features three teams currently ranked in the NCAA Men's top-60 golf rankings. Those opponents include #20 Virginia, #48 Florida State, and #57 South Carolina.
