Charlotte CC to host two future USGA Championships
The USGA chose Charlotte (N.C.) Country Club as the host site for the 2028 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship and 2033 U.S. Senior Open Championship.
“The USGA is excited to return to Charlotte Country Club and is pleased to continue a vibrant relationship that dates to the early 1970s,” said Mark Hill, USGA managing director, Championships. “The club, with its comprehensive facilities, has been committed to hosting championships on a national, regional and local level. We know that the course will challenge the world’s best professional and amateur players.”
Designed by World Golf Hall of Famer Donald Ross, Charlotte CC opened its first nine holes in 1910, with the second nine completed five years later. The club was first known as The Mecklenburg Club. Ron Pritchard oversaw updates to the course in 2007, while Andrew Green will lead a complete restoration of the course and practice facility over the next two years. The project will restore and retain the original Ross character and features while replacing aging infrastructure.
“We are honored to host these prestigious championships in partnership with the USGA,” said Priscilla Eich, general manager/COO of Charlotte CC. “Our long-standing commitment to supporting amateur golf reflects our passion for the sport and the incredible community it fosters. We cherish our relationship with the USGA and look forward to creating unforgettable championship moments.”
Charlotte Country Club has a storied amateur championship history, having also hosted 22 Carolinas Golf Association championships, including nine Carolinas Amateurs and four Carolinas Women’s Amateurs. The 2024 Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Golf Championship, two Southern Amateurs and six Charlotte City Amateurs also have been contested at the club.
Through the 2024 season, 38 USGA championships were played in the state of North Carolina, including one U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur (2013) and one U.S. Senior Open (1994).
