The U.S. Amateur Golf Championship will take place from August 12 to August 18 at Hazeltine National Golf Club and Chaska Town Course in Chaska, Minn. 

The two courses will each provide a unique and different challenge, with Hazeltine playing 7,500 yards and a par 72 and Chaska Town Course playing to 6,804 yards and a par 70. Hazeltine was opened in 1962, while Chaska is fairly new, opening in 1997.

Last year, Nick Dunlap made an impressive run to the U.S. Amateur final, taking down Neal Shipley in the final and seven months later, winning the American Express on the PGA Tour and turning pro.

2023 championship

Nick Dunlap, of Huntsville, Ala., and a sophomore at the University of Alabama, defeated Pennsylvanian Neal Shipley, 4 and 3, in the 36-hole final at Cherry Hills Country Club in suburban Denver. Dunlap joined Tiger Woods as the only players in USGA history to have won a U.S. Junior Amateur and U.S. Amateur. Dunlap won his U.S. Junior Amateur title in 2021.

“Well, I think it’s only a third of what Tiger’s actually done. But just to be in the same conversation as Tiger is a dream come true and something that I’ve worked my entire life for. It’s the hours and hours that nobody sees to try to get to this point and even have a chance to win this trophy. It’s unbelievable; can’t put it into words.” Dunlap told the USGA after his win.
