U.S. SENIOR OPEN

Go Back in Time at Newport Country Club

This year, the USGA returns to where it all began in 1895.

The 2024 U.S. Senior Open is being held at historic Newport (R.I.) Country Club, which was originally scheduled to host the 2020 U.S. Senior Open before COVID-19 canceled the championship. This will be the fifth USGA championship for the historic venue, which was the site of the inaugural U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur in 1895.

The schedule change resulted in a unique situation: having just played the 1,000th championship in its history at Pinehurst Resort & C.C. (Course No. 2) for the 2024 U.S. Open, the USGA now starts its next 1,000 championships when play begins on Thursday at Newport.

Take a trip back in time to the turn of the 20th century and view some rare photos from Newport Country Club, one of the USGA's five founding clubs.
