Merion, a key long-term strategic partner of the USGA, has hosted 18 USGA championships – the most of any site – and is synonymous with legendary championship moments. Bob Jones won two of his five U.S. Amateur titles at Merion (1924, 1930), while Hall of Famers Ben Hogan (1950) and Lee Trevino (1971) are among the five U.S. Open champions to have hoisted a trophy there, joining Olin Dutra (1934), David Graham (1981) and Justin Rose (2013). In total, Merion has hosted six different USGA championships, including the U.S. Girls’ Junior, U.S. Women’s Amateur, Curtis Cup Match and Walker Cup Match.

Designed by Donald Ross in the 1920s, the East Course has been host to several major championships including the U.S. Open, the U.S. Amateur and the U.S. Senior Open.

Whistling Straits is owned and operated by Kohler Co. and is one of two golf facilities, along with Blackwolf Run – host of the 1998 and 2012 U.S. Women’s Opens – associated with the luxury public golf resort in Kohler. Sculpted along the shoreline of Lake Michigan north of Sheboygan County, the Whistling Straits courses are Pete and Alice Dye designs that pay homage to the experience of Irish links golf.

The Toledo facility opened in 1903 and Donald Ross was hired in 1916 to design an 18-hole layout of outstanding championship caliber. The course went through several modifications over its history, with the most recent being Andrew Green’s acclaimed efforts to restore the layout to its early 20th century feel. The par-71 course can play at more than 7,700 yards, with 90 bunkers and small, undulating bentgrass greens.

Atlanta Athletic Club will host its second U.S. Amateur Aug. 12-18, 2030, which will mark the 100th anniversary of Bob Jones’ completion of the “Grand Slam” (victories in the U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, British Open and British Amateur). Jones was a past president and an active member of Atlanta Athletic Club until his death in 1971.

Designed by Pete Dye and opened in 1983, The Honors Course sits at the foot of White Oak Mountain, near Chattanooga. The 2026 U.S. Women’s Amateur, which is scheduled for Aug. 3-9, and the 2031 U.S. Amateur, scheduled for Aug. 11-17, will be the seventh and eighth USGA championships conducted at The Honors Course. The club previously hosted the 1991 U.S. Amateur, won by Mitch Voges; the 1994 Curtis Cup Match, a biennial competition between the USA and Great Britain and Ireland that was halved, 9-9; the 2005 U.S. Mid-Amateur, won by Kevin Marsh; the 2011 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur, won by Terri Frohnmayer; and the 2016 U.S. Junior Amateur, won by Min Woo Lee, who recently claimed his maiden victory at the ISPS Handa Vic Open on the European Tour.

The resort, which now boasts of five 18-hole layouts, has previously hosted a Curtis Cup (2006), U.S. Mid-Amateur (2007), U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links (2011), U.S. Amateur Public Links (2011), U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball (2015), U.S. Amateur Four-Ball (2019), U.S. Amateur (2020) and U.S. Junior Amateur (2022). And more championships and competitions are in the resort's future, including the 2028 Walker Cup Match. The Bandon Dunes Course was designed by David McLay Kidd and opened in 1999.

The Robert Trent Jones Jr. design, which opened in 2007, traverses a rugged landscape along Puget Sound. The 250-acre course, built on the site of a former sand-and-gravel mining operation, is the centerpiece of a 930-acre park owned by Pierce County. The 2028 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball will be the 31st USGA championship held in the state of Washington. The Evergreen State most recently hosted the 2023 U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball at The Home Course in Dupont, which will also serve as the stroke play co-host during the Four-Ball in 2028 and will host the 2024 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur at Broadmoor Golf Club in Seattle later this summer. 

The Country Club has previously hosted 17 USGA championships, second-most among venues to Merion, with 18. When the U.S. Women’s Open comes to Brookline in 2045, it will mark the first time the women’s major championship will be held at The Country Club, which most recently hosted the U.S. Open in June of 2022. Matt Fitzpatrick claimed a one-stroke victory at the same course where he also triumphed in the U.S. Amateur nine years prior. The previous three  U.S. Opens conducted at the club – all of which were decided in 18-hole playoffs – were in 1913 (won by Francis Ouimet, the first amateur to win the U.S. Open), 1963 (won by Julius Boros) and 1988 (won by Curtis Strange). The 2038 U.S. Open will be conducted on the 125th anniversary of Ouimet's celebrated win.

Erin Hills joins a list of 13 other courses that have hosted or will host the U.S. Open, U.S. Women’s Open, U.S. Amateur and U.S. Women’s Amateur. The course played host to the first U.S. Open in the state of Wisconsin in 2017 when Brooks Koepka won the first of his two consecutive titles. Erin Hills also was the site of the 2011 U.S. Amateur, where Kelly Kraft defeated Patrick Cantlay, 2 up, in the 36-hole final.  "Erin Hills has proven itself as an exceptional venue for USGA championships, and we are thrilled to bring these five events to this iconic course,” said Mark Hill, managing director, Championships. “The natural beauty and challenging layout of Erin Hills make it the perfect stage for golfers to showcase their talent and determination." 

Designed by Donald Ross and opened for play in 1916, historic Scioto Country Club has undergone some renovations over the past 100-plus years, namely by Jack Nicklaus and Michael Hurdzan in 2008, and by Andrew Green in 2021. Nicklaus grew up at Scioto Country and under the tutelage of head pro Jack Grout, became one of the greatest champion in the game's history, winning eight USGA titles, including four U.S. Opens. He finished his career with 18 major titles. Scioto was the site of the 1986 U.S. Senior Open won by Dale Douglass and 30 years later Gene Sauers prevailed. In 1926, the legendary Bob Jones won the U.S. Open at Scioto. Future U.S. Senior Open champion Bruce Fleisher also won the 1968 U.S. Amateur at Scioto when the championship was contested over 72 holes of stroke play. 

Pinehurst Resort & Country Club is set to add another illustrious chapter to its championship history by hosting its fourth U.S. Open and 11th USGA championship. Founded by Boston soda fountain magnate James Walker Tufts in 1895, Pinehurst quickly evolved into one of the premier resort destinations in the country. Legendary architect Donald Ross created Course No. 2 in 1907 and constantly tinkered with the design until his death in 1948. The USGA began its long association with the resort in 1962 with the U.S. Amateur, and 37 years later a memorable U.S. Open was contested, with Payne Stewart holing an 18-foot par putt on the 72nd hole to edge Phil Mickelson by a stroke. In 2014, Pinehurst and the USGA made more history by staging the U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Open in consecutive weeks on Course No. 2. It also was announced that Pinehurst will be an "anchor" host site for four additional U.S. Opens through the year 2047. Besides the 2024 championship, the resort will host in 2029, 2035, 2041 and 2047.

The resort, which now boasts of five 18-hole layouts, has previously hosted a Curtis Cup (2006), U.S. Mid-Amateur (2007), U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links (2011), U.S. Amateur Public Links (2011), U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball (2015), U.S. Amateur Four-Ball (2019), U.S. Amateur (2020) and U.S. Junior Amateur (2022). And more championships and competitions are in the resort's future, including the 2028 Walker Cup Match. The Bandon Dunes Course was designed by David McLay Kidd and opened in 1999.

The A.W. Tillinghast design, which uses holes from the East, Center and West nines, will host its third U.S. Amateur in 2042. Jerry Pate captured the 1974 championship at Ridgewood, two years before winning the U.S. Open. In 2022, Texan Sam Bennett hoisted the Havemeyer Trophy. Lee Trevino won the 1990 U.S. Senior Open, J. Clark Espie captured the 1957 U.S. Senior Amateur and Eun Jeong Seong started her remarkable 2016 USGA season by winning the U.S. Girls' Junior at Ridgewood. She would win the U.S. Women's Amateur a couple of weeks later at Rolling Green outside of Philadelphia. Since 2000, a renovation led by Gil Hanse has restored Ridgewood to its Tillinghast roots. Ridgewood also was the site of the 1935 Ryder Cup Matches as well as several PGA Tour events.

Historic Oakland Hills Country Club will play host to its seventh U.S. Open in 2034, and its first since Steve Jones edged Davis Love III and Tom Lehman by one stroke after getting into the field via final qualifying. Prior to the 1951 U.S. Open on the famed South Course, noted architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. did an extensive renovation of the original Donald Ross gem, lengthening and toughening the layout that it received its "Monster" moniker from 1951 champion Ben Hogan. After Hogan recorded the third of his four victories with a 7-over total of 287, the Texan said afterward, "I'm glad I brought this course -- this monster -- to its knees." Ten years later, Gene Littler's 1-over 281 was good enough to earn him a U.S. Open victory, and in 1985, Andy North collected the second of his two U.S. Open titles here. Three PGA Championships and a Ryder Cup, won by Europe, have also been contested at Oakland Hills.

In 2032, Saucon Valley Country Club (Old Course) will become the first site to host four U.S. Senior Opens. Founded in 1920 by executives of Bethlehem Steel, Saucon Valley features three championship-level courses with the Old Course being the crown jewel. Designed by Herbert Strong, the Old Course was renovated and restored by the father-son duo of William and David Gordon, who also designed the adjacent Grace Course. Larry Laoretti captured the first U.S. Senior Open at Saucon Valley in 1992, with Hale Irwin capturing the title eight years later. Padraig Harrington claimed the most recent U.S. Senior Open in 2022, holding off Steve Stricker by one stroke. In addition to the 2032 event, the U.S. Senior Open will return to Saucon Valley in 2042. The 2038 U.S. Women's Amateur and 2051 U.S. Amateur also will be contested here.
