The 2024 Solheim Cup, a premier event in women’s golf, is scheduled to take place at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia.
This prestigious venue, located approximately 35 miles from Washington, D.C., is known for its beautiful setting on Lake Manassas and its challenging course design.
About Robert Trent Jones Golf Club
The Robert Trent Jones Golf Club is celebrated for its stunning landscape and demanding layout. The course, which opened in 1991, was designed by the legendary golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Sr.
It features wide fairways, strategically positioned bunkers, and undulating greens, offering an ideal test for the top female golfers who will compete in the Solheim Cup.
Notably, this will be the first time the Solheim Cup is held at this venue. However, the club has a rich history of hosting significant golf events, including the Presidents Cup, which was played here four times between 1994 and 2005.
The course’s scenic beauty, particularly the par-3 9th hole with its peninsula green and the par-3 11th hole over the lake, is expected to add excitement and drama to the competition​.
Schedule and Context for the 2024 Event
The 2024 Solheim Cup is scheduled from September 10-14, 2024. This timing aligns with the event’s new schedule, which has shifted to even-numbered years to alternate with the Ryder Cup.
This adjustment was made after the COVID-19 pandemic caused a reshuffling of major golf event schedules, allowing fans to enjoy these two prestigious team events in different years.
This upcoming Solheim Cup promises to be an unforgettable event, bringing together the best women golfers from the United States and Europe in a spectacular setting.
