Martis Camp previously hosted the 2013 U.S. Junior Amateur, when Scottie Scheffler defeated Davis Riley for the title.
“The USGA is pleased to partner with Martis Camp Club in bringing the U.S. Senior Amateur for the first time to the Sierra Nevada, the Lake Tahoe region and the Truckee community,” said John Bodenhamer, USGA senior managing director, Championships. “The U.S. Senior Amateur title is highly sought after by the more than 2,500 who file entries and the 156 players who vie for the Frederick L. Dold Trophy each year. The competitors will relish the scenic and challenging environment.”
Martis Camp was designed by Tom Fazio and opened for play in June 2008. Set within the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Martis Valley, the course features mature pines, natural elevation changes and mountain views on the outward nine, with finishing holes framed by views of Mount Rose and the Carson and Sierra Nevada ranges.
