The United States Golf Association has revealed the venues for the U.S. Open Championships in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
They will be staged at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusets,
The Los Angeles Country Club and Pinehurst Resort & Country Club in
the Village of Pinehurst, respectively.
According to the President of the USGA Thomas J. O’Toole Jr. “We are thrilled to bring the 122nd U.S. Open Championship to such a
storied golf course and a great club, one of the five clubs that founded
the USGA in 1894,” said O’Toole. “Arguably the most significant event
in American golf happened there in 1913, when the young local amateur
Francis Ouimet defeated the top pros of the day, Harry Vardon and Ted
Ray, in the first U.S. Open played at The Country Club.
“We are elated to host our national championship at these three historic venues,” said Toole

The 2022 U.S. Open will be the 17th USGA championship hosted by The
Country Club, second-most among U.S. clubs to Merion, with 18. The three
previous U.S. Opens conducted at the club – all of which were decided
in 18-hole playoffs – were in 1913
The 2023 U.S. Open will be held June 15-18, and The Los Angeles Country
Club will become just the third U.S. Open venue in Southern California,
joining Riviera Country Club in nearby Pacific Palisades (1948) and
Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego (2008, 2021).
The 2024 U.S. Open, to be held June 13-16 on Pinehurst’s Course No. 2,
will mark the fourth U.S. Open and 11th USGA championship at the
historic venue. In addition to the unprecedented back-to-back U.S. Open
and U.S. Women’s Open in June 2014, won by Martin Kaymer and Michelle
Wie,
