Melded into a river basin formed by the flows of glacial runoff, Blackwolf Run features two 18-hole championship courses which have hosted some of the world’s best players. A combination of the River and Meadow Valleys courses is used for the U.S. Women’s Open, which returns to the Wisconsin resort for the second time in July.

The 1998 U.S. Women’s Open, won by Korean Se Ri Pak in a 19-hole playoff over amateur Jenny Chuasiriporn, was the first USGA championship for the resort. Since then, Blackwolf Run has also been the host site for three Andersen Consulting World Championships (1995-97).

PAR AND YARDAGE: The Original Championship Course at Blackwolf Run will be set up at 6,814 yards and will play to a par of 36-36—72. (Note: Yardages subject to change) 

ARCHITECT: The 2012 Women’s Open will be conducted on the Original Championship Course at Blackwolf Run. The championship layout will incorporate holes 10-18 of the Meadow Valleys Course and holes 1-4 and 14-18 of the River Course, the same layout that was used at the 1998 Women’s Open. Both courses were designed by Pete Dye, with the original course opening in June 1988.

WHO CAN ENTER: The championship is open to any professional and any amateur golfer with a USGA Handicap Index® not exceeding 4.4.
