Baltimore Country Club (East Course)
Lutherville, Md. August 29-September 3, 2026
The club's championship history dates to the 1899 U.S. Open won by Scottish professional Willie Smith. The total purse that week was $750. The USGA returned in 1932 for the U.S. Amateur, where Canadian C. Ross Somerville prevailed over Johnny Goodman, who would win the U.S. Open the next year. The 1965 Walker Cup Match saw the USA tie Great Britain and Ireland, 11-11, but retain the Cup. Then in 1988, Liselotte Neumann became the first Swede to capture a USGA title with her victory in the U.S. Women's Open. The club was founded in 1898 at its Roland Park location. After the successful U.S. Open, the club purchased property north of the city, in Lutherville. The East Course at Five Farms was designed by legendary architect A.W. Tillinghast. In 2015, Keith Foster did an extensive renovation of the venue, restoring the course to Tillinghast's original layout.
