The dates of the championship are September 9–14, 2023. The championship is open to amateur golfers age 25 and older with a handicap index not exceeding 3.4. The U.S. Mid-Amateur was first played in 1981 and features 36 holes of stroke play before the field of 264 is cut to the low 64 scorers for match play.
Fenway Golf Club was originally known as Fenimore Country Club and Devereux Emmet designed the first 18-hole layout. The course was replaced by Tillinghast in 1924 and the club reorganized under its current name 12 years later.
“The USGA is pleased to work in a collaborative effort with both Sleepy Hollow Country Club and Fenway Golf Club in bringing the U.S. Mid-Amateur for the first time to the Hudson Valley and Westchester County,” said John Bodenhamer, USGA senior managing director for championships. “The competitors will undoubtedly enjoy two historic and challenging courses.”
The 2023 U.S. Mid-Amateur will be the 75th USGA championship played in New York. The Empire State previously hosted the U.S. Mid-Amateur in 2010 at Atlantic Golf Club in Bridgehampton. The 2020 U.S. Open will be hosted by Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck in June.
