Wine Valley to host Men’s Master-40

If there’s anything smoother than the red wine produced from the vineyards of Walla Walla, Wash., it might be the fairways of that town’s renowned golf course, which has long been a host of championship-grade play.

Wine Valley Golf Club, that very place, is set to host the Pacific Northwest Men’s Master-40 Amateur, to be held Aug. 3-7, 2026.

Opened in 2009 and designed by Northwest architect Dan Hixson, the long, treeless course sits some seven miles west of town, among the rolling waves of pure Eastern Washington prairie. 

Built on land that once was wheat and alfalfa fields, Wine Valley is one of the state’s most expansive courses. From its longest tees, the course measures a little more than 7,600 yards. 

The scheduling of the PNGA Men’s Master-40 continues what has been a full-throttle period for Wine Valley. Last year, the club hosted its second PNGA Women’s Amateur, as well as a U.S. Open Final Qualifier. It has been the site of the PNGA Men’s Amateur three times, the Washington Men’s Amateur twice, and the Northwest Open Invitational a total of 12 times, among an assortment of other events, for which it has always been well-equipped.
