The USGA is returning to Fox Chapel Golf Club for another national championship.
The Seth Raynor-designed club will host the 2024 U.S. Senior Women’s Open, the golf governing body announced Monday.
Fox Chapel will welcome 120 of the world’s top 50-and-older women Aug. 1-4, 2024.
Two other sites, San Diego Country Club (Calif.) and Tacoma Country & Golf Club (Wash.) also will host Senior Opens: San Diego in 2025, Tacoma in 2027.
Triple the fun!

Fox Chapel also hosted the 1965 U.S. Senior Amateur, the 1985 U.S. Women’s Amateur, and the 2002 Curtis Cup Match.
Raynor based his setup on landscapes in Scotland and Europe before Brian Silva renovated the layout in 2001.
Fazio Design rebooted some original greens and added bunkers as part of an extensive renovation project in 2019-20.
“We plan to welcome this talented group of golfers with a best-in-class experience,” said James “Lock” Walrath, president of the board of directors at Fox Chapel. “Our staff, membership and community look forward to working with the USGA to put together a truly memorable week for all in attendance.”
The U.S. Senior Women’s Open is open to professionals and amateurs with a handicap index of 7.4 or better, who have reached their 50th birthday by the first day of the Open.
Qualifying sites and exemptions will be announced later.
The 72-hole Open has a 36-hole cut to the top 50 players and ties.
