Most-Used Golf Courses

Only two golf courses have been the site of the U.S. Women's Open more than twice:

• Pine Needles Lodge & Country Club in 1996, 2001, 2007, 2022
• Atlantic City Country Club in 1948, 1965, 1975

Pine Needles is the only four-time host site, and Atlantic City Country Club the only three-time site. That is set to change in coming years, though, as the USGA begins visiting certain courses more frequently. See Future U.S. Women's Open sites.
