The U.S. Senior Amateur golf tournament is coming to The Honors Course in 2021.
It will be the sixth USGA national event held at the Ooltewah course established in 1983, along with two NCAA Division I men's championships, but the first Senior Am. The USGA announced its selection Monday, along with Old Chatham Golf Club in Durham, N.C., for the 2019 tournament.
This year's national tournament for men ages 55 and older will be held at The Minikahda Club in Minneapolis, and the Eugene (Ore.) Country Club will be the 2018 host. The 2022 U.S. Senior Am will be at The Kittansett Club in Marion, Mass.
The one at the Honors is set for Aug. 28-Sept. 2, 2021. It was the site of the U.S. Junior Amateur last summer.
"We look forward to crowning the 65th and 67th U.S. Senior Amateur champions at Old Chatham and The Honors Course, clubs that have demonstrated deep commitments to amateur golf, and we are confident they will provide an excellence experience for all," USGA Championship Committee chairman Stuart Francis said in a release.
"The Honors Course is delighted to be selected to host the 2021 Senior Amateur Championship, as it will enable our club to continue to support our mission of honoring amateur golf," club chairman Joel Richardson said in the release. "We are particularly looking forward to hosting this demographic of players, many of whom have spent decades not only playing but giving back to the game."
