The United States Golf Association (USGA) has named The Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs as host for the 2018 US Senior Open Championship.
Due to take place on June 28-July 1, 2018, it will be the eighth USGA championship held at The Broadmoor and the sixth on the resort’s East Course.
."The U.S. Senior Open is senior golf’s most coveted championship and we know the East Course will test the players thoroughly as they compete for the Francis D. Ouimet Memorial Trophy," said Diana Murphy, USGA vice president and Championship Committee chair.
The Donald Ross designed East Course ws established in 1918 and is located on the southern edge of the Rocky Mountains at more than 6,400 feet above sea level.
The Broadmoor also has two other courses, the West and the Mountain, and a 700-room resort with 18 restaurants.
"The Broadmoor is thrilled to have the opportunity to host its eighth USGA championship, the 2018 United States Senior Open," said Russ Miller, Broadmoor’s director of golf.
"Not only will it be a time to watch and enjoy the greatest senior golfers in the world, it is a tremendous accolade to the city of Colorado Springs and the state of Colorado to be chosen as its site. We are privileged to once again stage such a prestigious and highly recognizable worldwide golf championship."
The U.S. Senior Open Championship, which began in 1980, takes place next year at Scioto Country Club, in Columbus, Ohio and at Salem Country Club, Peabody, Massachusetts in 2017.
