The Course – Edisto Island Plantation Course (Par 71, 5980 yards): With moss‑draped live oaks framing fairways that weave past shimmering salt‑marsh inlets, white egrets lifting off as you step onto the tee, and a gentle Atlantic breeze, The Plantation Course at Edisto is one of the Lowcountry's most scenic layouts. Designer Tom Jackson carved 18 holes through native oaks and palmettos, with tidal ponds and golden Spartina grasses throughout the landscape.  The Edisto Island Invitational layout will play to 5,980 yards and par‑71 with water coming into play on 14 holes. Small, undulating Tif‑Eagle greens reward creativity, while generous landing areas keep the fun factor high for every handicap.
 
The Coach: Now in his 35th year as head coach of the CU women and first as Director of Golf, John Crooks has been named league coach of the year 23 times in his tenure.  His teams have combined to earn 37 NCAA post-season trips, including 16 straight appearances for the men or women.  His teams have won 162 tournaments and with 100 career tournament titles, Crooks trails only Dan Brooks of Duke (143) on the all-time coaching victories list among Division I women's coaches.  He has guided his teams to 27 league titles, including 19 on the women's side and eight in men's competition (from 1990-2025).
 
The Lineup:
 
Senior Isabella Hahne (Kungsbacka, Sweden) has produced seven top-10 finishes in 34 career outings with 25 par, or better, rounds.  Hahne finished T10 (73-70—143) at the season-opening Tiger Classic before posting a T21 effort (70-71-76—217) at the Golfweek Fall Challenge.

Sophomore Fanni Gronlund (Kirkkonummi, Finland) opened the season with a T12 showing (71-73—144) at the Tiger Classic and has finished among the top 30 individuals in three of her four outings.  She leads the team with a 72.8 stroke average and has played par, or better, golf six times through 11 rounds.  She was named the 2025 CAA Rookie of the Year and WGCA All-America Scholar.  Over the summer, she won the Finnish U-21 stroke play national championship.  She has played par, or better, golf 12 times in her career, including a collegiate low 2-under 69 at the 2024 Golfweek Fall Challenge, a mark she matched at the 2025 Mercedes Benz Intercollegiate.
 
Red-shirt senior Taylah Ellems (Canberra, Australia) opened the season with her best collegiate finish (T6) at the Tiger Classic, where she matched her collegiate low in the second round (72-69—141).  She has compiled a 73.9 stroke average in the 2025-26 season with three rounds of par, or better, golf.  A member of the 2023 Big South all-freshman team, Ellems owns a 77.1 career stroke average over 20 events.
 
Junior Jade Potter (Edinburgh, Scotland) finished T35 at the Golfweek Fall Challenge (75-74-70—219), where she shot a collegiate low, 1-under 70 in the final round.  She owns a 75.7 scoring average through four events.  Potter shot back-to-back 73s at the 2025 CAA Championship after entering the lineup for the second round.  She earned her best collegiate finish (T22) last spring at the City of Oaks Collegiate.
 
Red-shirt senior Izabella Grimbrandt (Stockholm, Sweden) will complete in her fourth event of the fall season at Edisto Island.  She carries a 77.4 scoring average into the tournament and has twice posted a season-low 73.  A two-time WGCA All-America Scholar, she has competed in 25 events while compiling a 76.1 scoring average during her Campbell career.  
 
Freshman Linn Svedlund (Uppsala, Sweden) will compete as an individual at Edisto.  In her collegiate debut at the Tiger Classic, Svedlund finished T42 (83-72—155) and was 3-under over her last 23 holes.  She has posted a 76.8 scoring average over eight rounds and turned in a collegiate-low, even-par 71 in her last outing at the Mercedes Benz Intercollegiate.  Svedlund compiled one victory and nine top 10 finishes in 14 World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) events.
