The USGA recently announced that Monterey Peninsula Country Club, in Pebble Beach, has been selected as the host site of the 2025 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship. Scheduled for Oct. 4-9, the 38th U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur will be played on the club’s Dunes Course. It will be the fifth USGA championship held at the club and the first since 1976.
“We are thrilled to announce our return to Monterey Peninsula Country Club for the U.S. Women’s Mid-Am,” said Tracy Parsons, championship director. “Players will enjoy the challenging layout and stellar views as they compete for a coveted USGA title and a place in the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open Championship.”
Located in the heart of the Monterey Peninsula, one of the country's most iconic and scenic golf destinations, Monterey Peninsula Country Club was founded in 1925 and encompasses more than 400 acres of the Del Monte Forest, coastal dunes and seaside landscape along 17 Mile Drive. Seth Raynor designed the Dunes Course, which opened for play in 1926, and was renovated by Rees Jones in 1998 and redesigned by Tom Fazio in 2016. The club’s second course, the Shore Course, was designed by Bob E. Baldock and Jack Neville in 1961 and reconstructed by Mike Strantz in 2004.
All four of the previous USGA championships at Monterey Peninsula Country Club were contested on the Dunes Course. The 1952 U.S. Girls’ Junior was won by future four-time U.S. Women’s Open champion and World Golf Hall of Famer Mickey Wright. It was followed by the 1958 U.S. Senior Amateur, won by Thomas Robbins. In the following 20 years, MPCC held two U.S. Senior Women’s Amateurs, in 1968 and 1976, won by Carolyn Cudone and Cecile Maclaurin, respectively. For Cudone, it was the first of five consecutive titles.
