Lancaster Welcomes Back the 2024 U.S. Women's Open

The 2024 U.S. Women's Open is poised to make a grand return to the Lancaster Country Club, a venue steeped in history and known for its challenging layout. This prestigious tournament, scheduled for May 28 to June 2, will draw the world’s best female golfers to Lancaster, marking the second time this esteemed course hosts the event. The first occasion, in 2015, was widely celebrated for its exciting competition and impeccable course conditions, leaving fans and players alike with memorable experiences. With some availability remaining during tournament week, The Lancaster B&B is happy to welcome golf fans to our city and treat them to warm Pennsylvania Dutch hospitality.

Lancaster Country Club, founded in 1900, boasts a storied history and a course designed by the renowned William Flynn. Known for its rolling terrain, strategic bunkering, and undulating greens, the course offers a formidable test of golf that demands precision and strategy. The par-70 layout stretches nearly 6,900 yards, requiring a blend of length and finesse. Players must navigate tree-lined fairways and the Conestoga River, which meanders through several holes, adding both beauty and challenge.

The return of the U.S. Women's Open to Lancaster Country Club for its 79th annual tournament underscores the course's reputation within the golfing community. The 2015 contest, won by In Gee Chun of the Republic of Korea with a record-tying score of 272, showcased the course’s ability to host a world-class championship. Over 135,000 spectators lined the course during the tournament week to set a new U.S. Women's Open attendance record. Chun's performance, combined with the enthusiastic local support, elevated the event’s stature, making it a fitting choice for another edition of the Open.

Along with hosting the U.S. Women's Open in 2015, the course was a local qualifying site for the 2008 U.S. Women's Open. It also hosted the 2002 and 2007 Pennsylvania Opens and several state amateur championships.

The 2024 U.S. Women's Open promises to be an exciting event, not only for the competitors but also for the fans. Lancaster’s vibrant community, known for its rich cultural heritage and welcoming atmosphere, is expected to turn out in large numbers to support the tournament as spectators and volunteers. The region’s passion for golf, coupled with the historical significance of Lancaster Country Club, creates a unique backdrop for this prestigious event.

Tickets for the U.S. Women's range from $25 for a daily gallery ticket to $2,000 for a full week of prestigious Penn Club access. Organizers have been diligently preparing the course to ensure it meets the exacting standards of the USGA. This involves meticulous maintenance and enhancements to ensure the fairways, greens, and overall infrastructure are in pristine condition. Such efforts reflect the club's commitment to delivering an exceptional championship experience.

As the 2024 U.S. Women's Open quickly approaches, anticipation is building for what promises to be a thrilling competition. Fans can look forward to seeing top-tier golfers like Nelly Korda, Jin Young Ko and Brooke Henderson showcase their skills on one of the finest courses in the country. The return to Lancaster Country Club not only celebrates the game's heritage but also highlights the enduring appeal and challenge of this iconic venue. The 2024 edition is set to be a landmark event in women's golf, honoring tradition while creating new history.
