Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club has been selected as a local qualifying site for the 124th US Open.
Orchid will host the qualifier on Monday 13 May on its newly renovated Arnold Palmer Championship Golf Course.
Those who advance from a local qualifier will go onto US Open final qualifying sites scheduled for 20 May and 3 June.
Rob Tench, Orchid Island GM said:
“We are thrilled to host the US Open hopefuls on our Palmer course. We are confident the players will find the course to be challenging yet fair. The course not only has ideal conditions, but it is also a tranquil and beautiful setting.”
Orchid Island underwent the largest renovation since the course was constructed in 1990.
The renovation was undertaken by Brandon Johnson, Golf Course architect for the Arnold Palmer Design Company and encompassed all the greens and tees, bunkers, the short game area, and the driving range.
As a Certified Audubon Sanctuary by Audubon International with an ocean to river habitat, Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club is committed to preserving the rich wildlife found in Vero Beach.
Golfers delight in the colorful and unique birds often found in and around Orchid Island.
