A golf course in Newton won a bid to host a prestigious United States Golf Association event next summer.

Sand Creek Station will be the host site for the U.S. Adaptive Open Championship from July 8-10, 2024. The 54-hole, stroke-play tournament will be the third iteration of the championship event when it comes to Kansas and feature the world’s best golfers with disabilities.

“I can’t think of another championship that means more to me than the Adaptive Open,” said Chris Tuohey, who oversees operations at Sand Creek Station, in a statement. “This is the opportunity of a lifetime for Sand Creek Station and our community. We look forward to welcoming the world’s best adaptive players with open arms.”

It will be the second USGA championship hosted at Sand Creek Station and the 23rd contested in Kansas. The Newton public course, which opened in 2006, previously hosted the 2014 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship.

“We are so pleased to welcome the USGA back to Newton and Sand Creek Station for the Adaptive Open Championship,” Newton mayor Leroy Koehn said in a statement. “It’s an honor to host a championship of this magnitude with such remarkable athletes.

“This will be a tremendous event for our community and our team looks forward to welcoming them and watching them take on our course.”
