Each individual ticket may be used for any one day of the championship (Monday through Sunday) and will include general admission to The Olympic Club’s Lake Course grounds, access to walk the historic course, and the ability to purchase on-site food and beverages. During Monday and Tuesday’s stroke-play rounds, a Gallery ticket will provide access to both courses on the property, including the Ocean Course, which will serve as the stroke-play companion course for the championship. 

All tickets include complimentary parking at San Francisco State University, located at 796 State Drive, San Francisco, CA 94132. Courtesy shuttles to and from The Olympic Club will be provided.

Future stars of the game shine on the U.S. Amateur stage, as a total of 19 champions have gone on to win major championships at the professional level including Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods and reigning U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau. The last time the U.S. Amateur was played in San Francisco was 2007, when Colt Knost outlasted Michael Thompson, 2 and 1, in a back-and-forth championship match to become only the second golfer in history to win both the U.S. Amateur Public Links and the U.S. Amateur in the same year, joining Ryan Moore in 2004.  

Last year at Hazeline National Golf Club outside of Minneapolis, Minn., Jose Luis Ballester, of Spain, a rising senior at Arizona State University, edged Floridian and University of Iowa rising sophomore Noah Kent, 2 up, in the 36-hole final. Ballester became the first Spaniard to hoist the Havemeyer Trophy, and joined countryman Jon Rahm, the 2021 U.S. Open winner, as a USGA champion.  

The 2025 U.S. Amateur will be the 91st USGA championship played in California and the 12th at The Olympic Club. The club has hosted five U.S. Opens, the latest in 2012 when Webb Simpson fended off Graeme McDowell and Michael Thompson by a shot. The Olympic Club has hosted three U.S. Amateurs, a U.S. Junior Amateur and the inaugural U.S. Amateur Four-Ball. The Bay Area club also hosted the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open, won by Yuka Saso in a thrilling playoff over Nasa Hataoka. The club will also host the 2028 PGA Championship, 2030 U.S. Women’s Amateur and the 2032 Ryder Cup.   

The starting field of 312 players for the U.S. Amateur will play 18 holes of stroke play on Aug. 11 and 12, with one round at the club’s Lake Course and one at the Ocean Course, after which the field will be cut to the low 64 scores. Six rounds of match play begin on Wednesday, Aug. 13, and the championship concludes with a 36-hole championship match on Sunday, Aug. 17. The winner and runner-up are exempt into the following year’s U.S. Open Championship at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y. The championship is open to amateur golfers with a Handicap Index® not exceeding 0.4. Entries are now open at champs.usga.org.
