Hutchinson’s Prairie Dunes lands a pair of prestigious US Senior Open golf tournaments
A pair of future United States Golf Association championships are headed to Hutchinson.
The USGA announced Tuesday morning that Prairie Dunes Country Club has been selected as the host site for the 2029 U.S. Senior Open and 2032 U.S. Senior Women’s Open.
Prairie Dunes is no stranger to hosting premier USGA events, as the Hutchinson course has hosted eight previous championships, the last coming in 2006 with the U.S. Senior Open.
Past events also include the 1964 and 1991 U.S. Women’s Amateurs, the 1986 Curtis Cup Match, the 1988 U.S. Mid-Amateur, the 1995 U.S. Senior Amateur and the 2014 NCAA Div. I Men’s Golf Championship. The club has also been the site of six Kansas State Amateurs and three Kansas State Women’s Amateurs.
The Wichita area also received another USGA championship bid earlier this summer, as Sand Creek Station will play host to the third U.S. Adaptive Open in Newton from July 8-10, 2024.
U.S. Senior Open events are open to professional or amateur golfers with a qualified handicap (3.4 for men, 7.4 for women) and who are at least 50 years old by the start of championship play.
