2023 U.S. Open Qualifying Sites Announced

WINE VALLEY HEADLINES A FIRST-RATE SLATE OF U.S. OPEN LOCAL QUALIFYING SITES

The USGA announced the local qualifying and regional qualifying sites for the 123rd U.S. Open Championship, to be contested on Los Angeles (Calif.) Country Club’s North Course from June 15-18, 2023. It will be the first time the U.S. Open will be contested at LACC. According to the USGA, “local qualifying, conducted over 18 holes at 109 sites in 44 U.S. states and Canada, will take place between April 17-May 22. Those players who advance out of local qualifying will join a group of locally exempt players in final qualifying, which will be conducted over 36 holes. The final stage will be held in England (May 16), Japan (May 22) and Canada (June 5) as well as 10 U.S. sites, one on May 22 and nine on June 5.”

A number of final qualifying sites are familiar. Walton Heath has always been a stalwart site for UK qualifying and masterpiece of Golden Age architecture. Brookside in Ohio (a Ross restored by Brian Silva), Canoe Brook (by NYC-born and bred Stephen Kay), and Woodmont, Md., home of presidents are also long-time favorites, Woodmont for the 35th time in the last 37 years.

As for local sites, Secession, Paramount, and Rolling Green are the biggest names. Secession is vintage Pete Dye despite Bruce Devlin having his name on  it. Paramount is a wonderfully restored A.W. Tillinghast, ending on a an all-World par-3. And Rolling Green is one of Donald Ross’s Pennsylvania masterpieces.

Happily, a wide variety of public courses are on the list as well, led by the magnificent, wild Wine Valley in Walla Walla Washington. Rochester’s Greystone, a faux UK-links will provide drama with ginormous double greens and ubiquitous water hazards.
