Oak Hill Country Club to Host 2037 U.S. Women’s Open

The United States Golf Association has announced that Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York, will host the 92nd U.S. Women’s Open in 2037, the first women’s major championship golf to take place at the club which has previously hosted seven men’s professional major championships.

Founded in 1901, Oak Hill has previously hosted three U.S. Opens, as well as three additional USGA championships and the 1995 Ryder Cup. The club will welcome the 2027 U.S. Amateur Championship, marking its third time as host of the country’s oldest amateur competition.

“Major championship golf is in the DNA of Oak Hill and we are thrilled to bring the U.S. Women’s Open to the club for the first time,” said John Bodenhamer, USGA chief championships officer. “Oak Hill has long been a proven stage for some of golf’s biggest moments and we are proud to add the U.S. Women’s Open to its storied history. We are certain the local community and fans across the world will embrace the worthy test it will provide for the game’s best players.”

The 2037 U.S. Women’s Open will be the seventh held in the state of New York. The Empire State will also host the 2036 U.S. Women’s Open as part of a back-to-back with the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. The last U.S. Women’s Open in New York was held in 2013 at Sebonak Golf Club in Southampton.

“Hosting the U.S. Women’s Open for the first time is a proud and historic moment for Oak Hill,” said Ron Billitier, president of Oak Hill. “Major championships are part of our pedigree, and we cannot wait to welcome the world’s best to compete at our club. For more than 75 years, golfers from around the globe have been tested by the challenge of Oak Hill, and we look forward to sharing that experience once again with both players and fans.”

Oak Hill has been associated with some of the greatest champions in U.S. Open history. With his victory in 1989, Curtis Strange became the first player to win back-to-back U.S. Opens since Ben Hogan (1950–1951). Cary Middlecoff won his second U.S. Open in 1956 and Lee Trevino captured the first of his two U.S. Open victories in 1968. Miller Barber won the second of his record three U.S. Senior Open titles in 1984.
