The Olympic Club to host 2021 U.S. Women's Open

The USGA announced Saturday that The Olympic Club in San Francisco will host the 2021 U.S. Women's Open.

The event, played June 3-6, will be held on the club's Lake Course, designed by then-course superintendent Sam Whiting and which opened in 1927.

The Olympic Club has hosted 11 USGA championships, most recently the inaugural men's U.S. Amateur Four-Ball in 2015. It has held five U.S. Opens in 1955, 1966, 1987, 1998 and 2012. It has also hosted three U.S. Amateurs and the U.S. Junior Amateur.

This U.S. Women's Open will mark the first time a USGA women's championship will be contested at the club.

The Olympic Club has 45 holes of golf, including the 18-hole, Tom Weiskopf-designed Ocean Course and the nine-hole Cliffs Course.
