The upcoming US Women’s Open at the Lancaster Country Club provides an unprecedented opportunity for youth to watch the best players in a sport up close potentially for free, if they are accompanied by an adult who has a ticket or credential to the event or if they volunteer.
Juniors aged 17 and under can request a complimentary Gallery ticket for any day of the event at the Ticket Office with a ticketed or credentialed adult. Maximum of four (4) Junior tickets of any age per ticketed or credentialed adult. Junior tickets cannot be obtained in advance, but can be obtained at any ticket resolution area located at the main gates. Junior tickets will always be available.
Note: Junior tickets do not provide access into any premium spaces or hospitality areas as specific tickets are required for access into each of those venues. Discounted Junior premium tickets, if available, can be purchased for Junior access into premium spaces on site.
There are also volunteer opportunities for youth to assist during the event. One volunteer committee, the Standard Bearers, is designated for junior volunteers ages 15 – 21. Standard Bearers accompany players on the course, holding the scoring standards so spectators and players are updated on player progress at each hole. That committee utilizes a very limited number of volunteers.
