“We are very excited to bring the 59th U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur to The Lakewood Club,” said John Bodenhamer, USGA senior managing director, championships. “We are confident that its Dogwood Course will provide the ultimate test for competitors as well as a wonderful championship experience outside the ropes.”

The 2020 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur will be the third USGA championship hosted by The Lakewood Club, which is a member of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail.
