As the tension builds here at Oakmont Country Club for the thrilling final round of the 2025 U.S. Open, golf fans worldwide are on the edge of their seats, witnessing history unfold on one of the game’s most revered stages. But even as we celebrate this year’s champion, the USGA has already laid out an incredible roadmap for the future of America’s national championship.
The U.S. Open is renowned for testing the world’s best golfers on the most challenging and iconic courses. Looking ahead to the rest of this decade, we’re in for a treat, with a lineup that promises drama, tradition, and unforgettable moments. Let’s take a sneak peek at where the U.S. Open trophy will be contested over the next few years.
2026 U.S. Open: Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Southampton, N.Y.
Dates: June 18-21, 2026
The U.S. Open returns to the legendary Shinnecock Hills, a founding member of the USGA and one of the oldest links-style courses in the United States. Located on the eastern end of Long Island, Shinnecock is known for its windswept fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and incredibly undulating greens. It last hosted the Open in 2018, where Brooks Koepka successfully defended his title in a grueling test of golf. Expect a true links challenge where strategy and precision will be paramount.
2027 U.S. Open: Pebble Beach Golf Links, Pebble Beach, California
Dates: June 17-20, 2027
Is there a more picturesque setting in golf than Pebble Beach? This iconic California coastline will once again serve as the backdrop for the U.S. Open. Known for its stunning ocean views, demanding par-3s, and a finish that can make or break a championship dream, Pebble Beach always delivers unforgettable drama. Its beauty is matched only by its bite, making it a fitting stage for major championship golf. This will mark its seventh U.S. Open.
2028 U.S. Open: Winged Foot Golf Club (West Course), Mamaroneck, N.Y.
Dates: June 15-18, 2028
Prepare for a true brute of a golf course when the U.S. Open heads back to Winged Foot’s West Course. Revered for its punishing rough, challenging greens, and stern test of all-around golf, Winged Foot has a reputation for crowning deserving champions. Its most recent U.S. Open in 2020 saw Bryson DeChambeau conquer the course with a dominant performance. This is a venue where par is often considered a great score, and every shot demands respect.
2029 U.S. Open: Pinehurst Resort & C.C. (Course No. 2), Village of Pinehurst, N.C.
Dates: June 14-17, 2029
The U.S. Open will close out the decade at its first-ever anchor site: Pinehurst No. 2. Having just hosted the championship in 2024, the players will be familiar with its unique “turtleback” greens and naturalised sandy waste areas. Donald Ross’s masterpiece provides a strategic puzzle unlike any other, demanding creativity around the greens and precise ball-striking. Its natural charm and challenging design make it a fan favourite and a deserving recurring host.
