Pinehurst No. 2. It will be one of five U.S. Open Championships in the area by 2047, including another back-to-back Men’s and Women’s U.S. Open at No. 2 in 2029. The USGA also staged the inaugural U.S. Adaptive Open in July on Pinehurst No. 6; the event will return next year, as well. All of which is part of the USGA’s historic move to establish its second home in Pinehurst. In an effort to expand its impact in golf and extend its mission to champion and advance the game, the USGA is in the midst of constructing “Golf House Pinehurst,” a six-acre campus that will be completed by the end of 2023. It will include a new equipment-testing facility, innovation hub, museum and visitor center, and offices housing 50 full-time USGA staff members. The USGA Experience will present an immersive viewofgolfandtheUSGA’sworktounify,showcase, govern and advance the game.

The USGA Golf Museum Special Exhibitions will uncover the organization’s deep collection of golf artifacts – the most comprehensive collection in the world.
