Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club has been selected by the USGA as host of the 2022 U.S. Women’s Open Championship.
The event will be held June 2-5, 2022.
This will be the seventh USGA championship and a record fourth Women’s Open contested at Pine Needles, which played host to Women’s Open Championships in 1996, 2001 and 2007.
Pine Needles will also host the second Senior Women’s Open in 2019.
“To host the most prestigious event in women’s golf for the fourth time speaks to our longstanding relationship with the USGA, and we’re honored they accepted our invitation to host the Women’s Open in 2022,” said Kelly Miller, president and CEO of Pine Needles. “The Donald-Ross designed course has already crowned three memorable Women’s Open champions, and we’re confident it will again be a welcoming yet challenging host for the world’s best players at this national championship. I can only imagine how happy Mrs. Bell would have been to host another Women’s Open.”
