Key takeaways

  • The USGA has 18 U.S. Women's Opens scheduled through 2048.
  • Six host clubs, including Los Angeles Country Club and Chicago Golf Club, will stage the championship for the first time.
  • Pebble Beach will host three times in that span: 2035, 2040 and 2048.
  • Oakmont and Oakland Hills will each host twice, in 2028/2038 and 2031/2042.
  • The 2032 U.S. Women's Open at Los Angeles Country Club will be the West Coast's next stop after 2026 at Riviera.

The USGA has locked in 18 U.S. Women's Opens beyond this year, with the schedule stretching to 2048 and several storied men's championship venues staging the women's major for the first time. A handful of open dates remain to be filled, and the USGA said it will announce those in due time.

Which courses will host the U.S. Women's Open next?

Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, opens the run in 2027. The Donald Ross design has already hosted the championship twice, won by Susie Berning in 1973 and Jane Geddes in 1986. Oakmont Country Club follows in 2028, the first of two visits for the Pennsylvania club, which previously crowned Patty Sheehan in 1992 and Paula Creamer in 2010.

Pinehurst Resort & Country Club gets a second consecutive-week U.S. Open double in 2029, echoing 2014, when Michelle Wie West won the women's title the week after the men's championship on the same North Carolina No. 2 course. Interlachen Country Club in Edina, Minnesota, hosts in 2030, exactly a century after Bobby Jones won the U.S. Open there on his way to the Grand Slam; Inbee Park won the lone previous U.S. Women's Open at Interlachen in 2008.

Which clubs are hosting for the first time?

Six venues on the list have never held a U.S. Women's Open. Oakland Hills Country Club in Michigan debuts in 2031 and returns in 2042; a win there will make it the fifth club to have hosted a U.S. Open, U.S. Women's Open, U.S. Amateur and U.S. Women's Amateur. Los Angeles Country Club, host of the 2023 U.S. Open, adds the women's championship in 2032. Chicago Golf Club, one of the USGA's five founding clubs, follows in 2033, and Merion Golf Club takes its first U.S. Women's Open in 2034 despite having hosted more USGA championships than any other course. Shinnecock Hills Golf Club and Oak Hill Country Club's East Course round out the first-timers, in 2036 and 2037.

Pebble Beach Golf Links, which hosted its first U.S. Women's Open in 2023, will stage the championship three more times: 2035, 2040 and 2048. Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania, winner sites for Yuka Saso in 2024 and In Gee Chun in 2015, returns in 2044.
