NEWTON, MA — Two marquee United States Golf Association events are coming to the historic Brae Burn Country Club.
The USGA said on Wednesday that the West Newton golf course will host the 2024 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur Championship and the 2028 U.S. Women's Amateur Championship. The course, which hosted the 1919 U.S. Open, last hosted a major USGA event in 1997 when the U.S. Women’s Amateur was held there.
"We're thrilled to return to Brae Burn, a classic golf course, and to return to Boston, which has proven to be one of the finest sports cities in America," said Mark Hill, USGA senior managing director, Championships. "We know the membership at Brae Burn will provide an exemplary experience for our players as they compete for these two national championship titles."
