With its North course slated to host its first U.S. Open next year, Los Angeles Country Club on Oct. 19 learned that it will host another U.S. Open in 2039 and the U.S. Women’s Open in 2032. The announcement gives the USGA premier Open sites in northern and southern California, with Pebble Beach scheduled to host a U.S. Open or U.S. Women’s Open eight times through 2048. “We could not be more excited to bring our two biggest national championships to The Los Angeles Country Club and extend our relationship with the club that dates back more than 90 years,” says John Bodenhamer, USGA chief championships officer.
Los Angeles Country Club (LACC) is getting another U.S. Open before it even holds its first one, and the women will get their crack at the course on the edge of Beverly Hills, greenwichtime.com reported.
The club’s North course is hosting its first U.S. Open in June 2023. The USGA on Oct. 19 announced the U.S. Open will return in 2039 and the U.S. Women’s Open will take place at LACC in 2032, greenwichtime.com reported.
“We could not be more excited to bring our two biggest national championships to The Los Angeles Country Club and extend our relationship with the club that dates back more than 90 years,” said John Bodenhamer, USGA chief championships officer. “This is a tremendous sports town, an enthusiastic golf community and home to a great venue for championship golf.”

LACC will have two U.S. Opens and one U.S. Women’s Open through 2039, and Riviera Country Club is hosting the U.S. Women’s Open in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028.
LACC was designed by George C. Thomas and went through an extensive restoration by Gil Hanse in 2010, greenwichtime.com reported.
It has a long history with the USGA, just not an extensive one.
The North Course first hosted the U.S. Women’s Amateur in 1930 when Glenna Collett Vare won the fifth of her record six titles. It also hosted the U.S. Amateur in 1954, and most recently the Walker Cup in 2017.
