Colorado Golf Club, in Parker, Colo., has been selected by the USGA as the stroke-play co-host course for the 123rd U.S. Amateur Championship. Cherry Hills Country Club, in Cherry Hills Village, Colo., will host both stroke play and match play when the championship is played Aug. 14-20, 2023.

Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, Colorado Golf Club opened for play in 2007. The 1,700-acre property was once an Arabian horse ranch and features views of Colorado’s Front Range, dominated by Pikes Peak, Mount Evans and Longs Peak. The course plays through open meadows, foothills of ponderosa pine, natural gullies and streams.

The 123rd U.S. Amateur will be the USGA’s second visit to the property, as Colorado Golf Club previously hosted the 2019 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship. Lukas Michel of Australia became the first international player to claim the U.S. Mid-Amateur title, in its 39th edition.

“Colorado Golf Club is a strategic and demanding championship venue, and we could not be more proud to showcase it during stroke play for the 2023 U.S. Amateur Championship,” said Matt Kellogg, the club’s president. “With its unrivaled history, the U.S. Amateur is a pinnacle moment for many, and we’re excited to have the world’s best amateurs tee it up at our venue.”

Located 30 miles southeast of Denver, Colorado Golf Club also hosted the 2010 Senior PGA Championship, won by Tom Lehman in a playoff over Fred Couples and David Frost. In addition, the 2013 Solheim Cup was conducted at the club, when Europe defeated the USA, 18-10, for its first win on American soil since the event was established in 1990.

Cherry Hills Country Club will be hosting its third U.S. Amateur and 10th USGA championship. Steven Fox made an 18-foot birdie putt on the 37th hole to defeat Michael Weaver and cap a memorable 2012 U.S. Amateur final match. Phil Mickelson, then a 20-year-old Arizona State University student, captured the 1990 U.S. Amateur there. Designed by William Flynn, Cherry Hills has hosted three U.S. Opens. In 1960, Arnold Palmer produced one of the most indelible performances in Open history, erasing a seven-stroke deficit with a final-round 65, while two-time champions Ralph Guldahl (1938) and Andy North (1978) also won there.

The U.S. Amateur starting field of 312 players will play 18 holes of stroke play on Aug. 14 and 15, one round on each of the two courses, after which the field will be cut to the low 64 scores. Six rounds of match play begin on Aug. 16 and the championship concludes with a 36-hole championship match on Aug. 21. The winner and runner-up are exempt into the following year’s U.S. Open Championship.

The 2022 U.S. Amateur will be contested at Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, N.J., from Aug. 15-21. Nearby Arcola Country Club will serve as the stroke-play co-host course.
