York Club Welcomes Back USGA for Two Prestigious Championships
Donald Ross design to host 2029 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur and 2035 U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball
Seoul, Korea - The Country Club of York in Pennsylvania will add to its storied history when it stages the 2029 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur and 2035 U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Championships.
Mark Hill, the USGA’s managing director of championships, said the association was “excited to return” to the venue, praising the Commonwealth’s rich tradition of hosting national events.
Founded in 1899 and redesigned by Donald Ross in 1927, the York layout has undergone a decade of careful restoration under architect Andrew H. Green, including bunker work and short-game additions that honour Ross’s original vision. “We are very proud to once again partner with the USGA,” said Stephen Wilson, vice president of the club’s Board of Governors. “Our membership looks forward to welcoming the world’s best amateurs to our Golden Age gem.”
The club’s first USGA event was the 1999 U.S. Junior Amateur, when Hunter Mahan defeated Camilo Villegas 4 and 2 in a final that drew a record 4,508 entries. York has since hosted numerous Pennsylvania state championships and served as a U.S. Open qualifying site for the past nine years.
Pennsylvania leads all states with 95 USGA championships, and the forthcoming events will continue that proud record. The U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur will mark the fourth edition held in the state, while the 2035 Four-Ball will be the first of its kind in Pennsylvania—extending the USGA’s deep-rooted connection with one of American golf’s most historic regions.
