USGA Qualifying Sites for the 124th U.S. Open

Tour Select Qualifying Sites for 124th U.S. Open

USGA Qualifying Sites for the 124th U.S. Open have been determined for the Championship to be contested from June 13-16.

Local qualifying, conducted over 18 holes at 109 sites in 44 U.S. states and Canada, will take place between April 22-May 20. Those players who advance out of local qualifying will join a group of locally exempt players in final qualifying, which will be conducted over 36 holes. This final stage will be held in England and Japan (May 20) and Canada (June 3) as well as 10 U.S. sites, one on May 20 and nine others on June 3.

Online player registration for the 2024 U.S. Open will begin on Wednesday, Feb. 21, at champs.usga.org and will continue through Wednesday, April 10.

“Allied Golf Associations in the United States and National Federations and Tours in Europe, Canada and Japan collaborate to provide an avenue to the U.S. Open through both qualifying stages where the world’s greatest players will compete for our national championship,” said USGA Chief Championships Officer John Bodenhamer. “Thousands of professional and amateur golfers with diverse backgrounds will have an opportunity to earn a place in this year’s championship at Pinehurst Resort and Country Club.”

Record Number of Entries

The USGA accepted a record 10,187 entries for the 2023 championship at The Los Angeles (Calif.) Country Club. The previous mark of 10,127 entries was established for the 2014 championship on Pinehurst Resort & Country Club’s Course No. 2.
Illini Country Club, in Springfield, Ill., will hold a U.S. Open qualifier for the 45th consecutive year in which qualifying has been conducted. Maketewah Country Club, in Cincinnati, Ohio, returns to the schedule after a one-year absence, its 46th time hosting since 1976. Riverton (Wyo.) Country Club and Ironwood Country Club, in Palm Desert, Calif., will host local qualifying for the 26th and 23rd year, respectively. Collindale Golf Course, in Fort Collins, Colo., has been a host site since 2003.
To be eligible, a player must have a Handicap Index® not exceeding 0.4, or be a professional. There are 14 local qualifying sites in California, the most of any state. Florida will host 13 local qualifiers.

The Courses

The U.S. Open final qualifying will take place at two courses in Dallas, Texas; Columbus, Ohio; and Summit, N.J. The Gold and Blue Courses at the Dallas Athletic Club will host the qualifier for the 11th time. Among three players from the Dallas qualifier who made the 36-hole cut at The Los Angeles Country Club in last year’s U.S. Open was Austin Eckroat, who tied for 10th. For the first time, Ohio State University Golf Club’s Scarlet Course and Kinsale Golf & Fitness Club in Columbus, Ohio, will be paired. Canoe Brook Country Club will host the final site for the 19th time since 1980, with its North and South Courses.

For the last 38 years, Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Md., has hosted final qualifying for the 36th time. Only the North Course has been used for the 10th consecutive time. Springfield Country Club in Ohio will host final qualifying for the 15th time. Lake Merced Golf Club in Daly City, Calif., will be a final qualifying venue for the 12th time overall and the first time since 2012.

After 1992, the U.S. Open final qualifying will return to The Golf Club of Georgia. The Bear’s Club in Jupiter, Fla., will host the final stage for the fourth time. Old Chatham Golf Club in Durham, N.C., and Pronghorn Resort’s Nicklaus Course in Bend, Ore., will each be sites for a second time.

Familiar Grounds

Walton Heath Golf Club, located in Surrey, England, has been a qualifying site for the U.S. Open since 2005. The Old and New Courses at Walton Heath will host a final qualifier for the 17th time. In Canada’s Ontario province, Cherry Hill Club and Lookout Point Country Club will combine as a qualifying site. Hino Golf Club’s King Course in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, is hosting the U.S. Open qualifying for the first time.

Only two players, Ken Venturi in 1964 and Orville Moody in 1969, have won the U.S. Open after qualifying through both local and final stages. Gene Littler (1961), Julius Boros (1963), Jerry Pate (1976), Steve Jones (1996), Michael Campbell (2005), and Lucas Glover (2009) won after advancing through final qualifying.

Many U.S. Open champions, including David Graham, Lou Graham, Hale Irwin, Tony Jacklin, Lee Janzen, Tom Kite, Johnny Miller, Corey Pavin, Curtis Strange, Lee Trevino, Gary Woodland, and Fuzzy Zoeller, have advanced to the championship through both local and final qualifying at some point in their careers. Lucas Glover, Michael Campbell, and Martin Kaymer won the U.S. Open after qualifying through both stages.

Pinehurst Resort & Country Club’s Course No. 2 hosted the U.S. Open in 1999 (won by Payne Stewart), 2005 (won by Michael Campbell), and 2014 (won by Martin Kaymer). Pinehurst will host the U.S. Open in 2029, 2035, 2041, and 2047 as an anchor site.
