Stunning future sites of the Walker Cup beginning in 2028

The Walker Cup has made a habit of being played in some pretty incredible places, and while the stunning views of the Lahinch Golf Club this year may appear difficult to top, take a mind-blowing peek at where the tournament will travel through 2052.

The United States and Great Britain and Ireland compete in match play every two years and the two sides alternate hosting the Walker Cup. The golf courses are chosen by the USGA and The R&A and nine future sites through 2052 are already locked in for the international amateur competition.

Here are the future sites that are locked in for the Walker Cup after this year at Lahinch:

2028: Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, Bandon, Oregon

While Bandon Dunes has held other USGA events over the years, including the 2025 U.S. Women’s Amateur, 2028 will be the first time the stunning Pacific coast course hosts the Walker Cup. The resort features seven links-style golf courses, designed to make this Oregon treasure feel like Scotland.

2030: Prince’s Golf Club, Kent, England

Prince’s Golf Club is another first-time venue for the Walker Cup, but the links course famously hosted the 1932 Open Championship and most recently, the 2023 Women’s Amateur Championship. The club has undergone significant renovations since 2017 to upgrade the clubhouse, as well as the course. Prince’s sits along Sandwich Bay in the southeast of England and has views of Royal St George’s Golf Club across the water.

2032: Oakmont Country Club, Oakmont, Pennsylvania

Oakmont Country Club is no stranger to hosting world-class competition. The U.S. Open Championship has been played at Oakmont a record ten times, the most of any site, however this is the first time the Walker Cup will compete here. The club in western, Pennsylvania, is steeped in history and continues to be known for its difficult and unforgiving nature, as well as its brutal bunkers.

2036: Chicago Golf Club, Wheaton, Illinois

Chicago Golf Club was founded in 1892 and is one of the founding members of the USGA. The prestigious club hosted the 1928 and 2005 Walker Cups, as well as three U.S. Open Championships. The links-style course, situated in the midwestern part of the United States just outside of Chicago, is charactered by its pristine greens and punishing bunkers, modeled after the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland.

2040: National Golf Links of America, Southampton, New York

The Southampton course, just 2 1/2 hours from New York City, hosted the first Walker Cup in 1922 and again in 2013. The links-style course is widely considered one of the best in the United States and sits on the Peconic Bay, adjacent to Shinnecock Hills. National Golf Links of America is famous for its design, as many of the holes are inspired by those found at St. Andrews, Royal St. George and other historic courses across the pond.

2044: Pine Valley Golf Club, Pine Hill, New Jersey

The Walker Cup was previously played at Pine Valley Golf Club in 1936 and 1985. The club, located in the Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey, has been regularly voted one of the top-ranked courses in the world. The storied and secluded golf oasis features 18 distinct holes that blend into the natural landscape. Pine Valley is known for being one of the most challenging courses for even the world’s top players.

2048: Cypress Point Club, Pebble Beach, California

Cypress Point Club in Pebble Beach, California will host the Walker Cup for a third time in 2048. The course is set along the rugged coastline of the Monterey Peninsula and features three holes on the back nine with the Pacific Ocean serving as a water hazard. The iconic par 3-16th hole has been referred to as of the greatest holes in America, and requires a tee shot over the crashing waves.

2052: Seminole Golf Club, Juno Beach, Florida

The Donald Ross-designed club opened in 1929 along the scenic Atlantic Ocean in southern Florida and previously hosted the Walker Cup in 2021. Seminole Golf Club’s greens are known to be one of the most challenging aspects of the wickedly windswept course.
