Please check the enclosed pairing sheet for your starting time on Monday, May 16th. All play will begin from the 1st tee. Remember that local qualifying is 18 holes, that you must walk in all phases of the Open and that you are responsible for providing your own caddie/cart driver. Caddies will NOT be available at Rolling Hills CC. Players must walk but you may carry your own bag during the qualifying round. Caddies will be allowed to rent a cart for the qualifying round at this site. However, caddies may have to share carts during the qualifying round.

The USGA prohibits the use of cellular phones during qualifying and championship rounds. Also, the USGA does not allow spectator carts during qualifying rounds or the championship proper.

  • Spike Policy

Traditional metal spikes are not allowed at Rolling Hills Country Club. The penalty for non-compliance is disqualification.

  • Practice Round

You are entitled to one complimentary practice round on Sunday, May 15th anytime after 12:00 p.m. If you should need to make other arrangements, please contact the Rolling Hills CC Golf Shop. You may call the Rolling Hills golf shop to schedule a practice round anytime.

There is a mandatory $20 cart/range fee for the practice round. Make sure to identify yourself as an U.S. Women’s Open qualifying participant. It would be helpful if you make your own game before calling.

Rolling Hills Country Club accepts cash, MasterCard or Visa only.

The cart fee for a caddie/cart driver on the qualifying date will be $20 inclusive of the range fee. For all other players not needing a cart for their caddie/cart driver on the qualifying date, there will be a $6 range fee.

Make sure to check-in with the golf shop when you arrive and pay your appropriate fees.

Players may walk during the practice round but must still pay the mandatory $20 cart/range fee.

Play the Blue tee markers (approximately 6300 yards) during your practice round.

Any player who is discovered taking more than 40 seconds to play a stroke is subject to a warning for slow play and will be advised of the fact. The player will be notified that exceeding 40 seconds on one more occasion will result in a penalty of one stroke. A third violation will result in a two-stroke penalty, followed by disqualification.
