Rich History of Inverness Club
This is not new territory for Inverness. The club has a rich history in hosting major championships, including four previous U.S. Opens back in 1920, 1931, 1957, and 1979. In more recent times, the club also held notable events like the 1986 and 1993 PGA Championships and the 2021 Solheim Cup. The venue underwent a significant restoration in 2017, returning to its original early 20th-century layout, offering a challenging par-71 course that stretches over 7,700 yards and features some serious bunkering with 90 bunkers and those tricky, undulating greens.
