The Trescott Championship, named after the former long time SCGA Secretary George C. Trescott, is a unique Club Championship where three amateur members from a club combine their aggregate score from each hole to compete for the Trescott Cup.

During the course of play, a Pro-Am is also conducted with the three amateurs and their Club Professional using the best two gross balls per hole.

The 2019 Trescott Championship was conducted on the par 72 ~ 6,724 yard Holly Tree Country Club. The Championship began with 19 teams consisting of a Club Professional and three amateurs.  The combined scores of the three amateurs are used to determine the team score for the Trescott Championship while the two best balls of the four players are used to determine the Pro-Am score.  The Trescott Championship is one of 21 Major Championships conducted by the South Carolina Golf Association and is in its 36th year of existence.
