Cherry Hills to host the 123rd U.S. Amateur Championship

One of golf’s most prestigous events is headed back to Colorado.

On Aug. 14-20, Cherry Hills Country Club will host the 123rd U.S. Amateur Championships. This will be the third time Cherry Hills will have the tournament in the course’s 100-year history.

“Cherry Hills hosting the U.S. Amateur Championship for the third time brings great pride to the club and the community,” Cherry Hills president Kim Koehn said.

The starting field of 312 players for the U.S. Amateur will play 18 holes of stroke play Aug. 14-15, with one round at Cherry Hills and one at Colorado Golf Club, the stroke-play co-host for the championship, after which the field will be cut to the low 64 scores.

Six rounds of match play begin Aug. 16. The championship concludes with a 36-hole championship match Aug. 20.
