The United States Golf Association (USGA) will hold the 2027 U.S. Girls’ Junior, 2033 U.S. Senior Amateur and 2039 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championships at Canterbury Golf Club.

These will be the sixth, seventh and eighth USGA championships held at Canterbury Golf Club, which last hosted the 1996 U.S. Senior Open, captured by Dave Stockton, who held off a hard-charging Hale Irwin to win by two strokes. The club also hosted the 1979 U.S. Amateur (won by Mark O’Meara), the 1964 U.S. Amateur (won by William Campbell), the 1946 U.S. Open (won by Lloyd Mangrum) and the 1940 U.S. Open (won by Lawson Little).

Canterbury Golf Club also hosted the 1973 PGA Championship (won by Jack Nicklaus), four Senior Tournament Players Championships (1983-1986) and, most recently, the 2009 Senior PGA Championship (won by Michael Allen).

“Canterbury Golf Club is proud to continue its tradition of hosting national championships,” said Tim Cercelle, club president. “As we reengage our relationship with the USGA, it’s an honor to showcase our golf course to the world and play host to these prestigious championships that truly embody the spirit of the amateur game and support the next generation of golfers.”
