Sunriver Resort selected to host four USGA Championships

SUNRIVER, Oregon - Last week the USGA announced that Sunriver Resort, in Central Oregon will serve as the host site for four USGA championships, beginning with the 2027 and 2028 U.S. Adaptive Opens. The 2031 U.S. Mid-Amateur and 2036 U.S. Junior Amateur will also be conducted at the central Oregon facility.

“We are excited to return to Sunriver Resort and announce the next chapter for the U.S. Adaptive Open,” said Mark Hill, USGA managing director, Championships. “As we head into the 4th iteration this summer, we’re excited to build on the legacy this event has developed in just three years. We’re also very grateful to Sunriver for hosting the U.S. Mid-Amateur and U.S. Junior Amateur and know the players in each of the championships will thoroughly enjoy the golf courses and hospitality.”

The 2027 U.S. Adaptive Open at Sunriver will be the third USGA championship conducted at the property. The resort previously hosted the 2002 U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links, won by Annie Thurman, and the 2007 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur, won by Anna Shultz.

"We're thrilled to have the USGA return to Sunriver Resort for multiple championships over the next 11 years," said Josh Willis, VP of Operations at Sunriver Resort. "Set in a world-class setting, both the Meadows and Crosswater courses offer thrilling and challenging play that will make for dynamic championships. We look forward to welcoming these top competitors to our courses and resort."

Regarded as a top scenic golf destination in America, Sunriver Resort features four golf courses – Meadows, Crosswater, Woodlands and Caldera Links. The Adaptive Open will be played on the Meadows Course, designed by John Fought, while the U.S. Junior Amateur and U.S. Mid-Amateur will be conducted on the Crosswater Course, with Meadows serving as the stroke play co-host. Crosswater was designed by Bob Cupp and is also recognized as an Audubon International Certified Cooperative Sanctuary.

Sunriver Resort has hosted a variety of elite competitions, including the 2005 NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championship and the 2006 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship. The 63-hole facility also served as the site of the Oregon Open from 1982-1999 and hosted the AJGA Rolex Tournament of Champions in 2004, 2011 and 2015. From 2007-10, Sunriver served as the host of what was then the JELD WEN Tradition Champions Tour event, where Fred Funk won twice, both in 2008 and 2010.

The Oregon resort has also featured several PGA of America member championships, including the 50th PGA Professional Championship in 2017. In 2024, the resort hosted the Senior PGA Professional Championship along with the men’s PGA Cup against The PGA of Great Britain & Ireland and women’s PGA Cup against The PGA of Australia, Canada, Great Britain & Ireland and South Africa.
