U.S. Open Returns to Toledo’s Inverness Club in 2045

TOLEDO, Ohio – The U.S. Open Championship will return to Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, in 2045, marking a significant win for the city and its storied golf course. The announcement, made on Saturday, February 28, 2026, was hailed by Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz as one of the biggest achievements for the city in recent years.

A Historic Venue

Inverness Club, established in 1903, has a rich history of hosting major golf championships. It has previously hosted the U.S. Open in 1920, 1931, 1957, and 1979. The club has hosted two PGA Championships (1986, 1993), the U.S. Amateur (1973), two U.S. Senior Opens (2003, 2011), the U.S. Junior Amateur (2019), the Solheim Cup (2021), and two NCAA Men’s Championships (1944, 2009) [Inverness Club Championship History]. The course was designed by Donald Ross and currently plays at 7,730 yards with a par of 71 [Inverness Club Wikipedia].

Economic Impact and City Pride

Mayor Kapszukiewicz emphasized the substantial economic benefits the U.S. Open will bring to the Toledo region. He also highlighted the significance of the USGA’s decision as a validation of Toledo’s growth and dynamism. “For years the perception has been that while Inverness is a course more than worthy of hosting a U.S. Open, the Toledo market wasn’t strong or dynamic enough to earn the honor,” Kapszukiewicz stated. “Today’s announcement dispels that myth once and for all.”

A Championship Legacy

David Briggs of The Blade described the news as “the greatest sporting prize in the city’s history,” underscoring the prestige associated with hosting a U.S. Open. Inverness Club is unique in having hosted the U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, U.S. Senior Open, and U.S. Junior Amateur [Inverness Club Wikipedia].

Future Championships

Inverness Club is also slated to host the 2027 U.S. Women’s Open and the 2029 U.S. Amateur [Inverness Club Wikipedia], further solidifying its position as a premier golf destination.
