Plan Your Golf Week Around the US Women's Open

It's a great week for golf on Long Island. Tickets for the 68th U.S. Women’s Open Championship at Sebonack Golf Club on June 24–30 are still available. You can get them online at www.2013uswomensopen.com.

Ticket options range in price from $20 to $200. All tickets include free parking and free shuttle transportation to and from the admission gate. Daily grounds tickets are also available for practice and championship rounds. Championship-round tickets are $40 per day (Thursday–Sunday) and practice-round tickets cost $20 per day (Monday–Wednesday).

Priced at $100, the 4-Pack includes four good-any-one-day grounds tickets. This is the most flexible option, allowing for tickets to be divided up throughout the week or all used on the same day.

Nicklaus Pavilion tickets provide access to the championship grounds and to an air-conditioned tented facility between the first and second fairways with upscale food and beverages available for purchase. The pavilion is named for Jack Nicklaus, 18-time major champion and co-designer, along with Tom Doak, of Sebonack Golf Club. Daily tickets to the Nicklaus Pavilion are available for $65, while a Nicklaus Pavilion package, which includes seven individual daily tickets (Monday–Sunday), is priced at $200.

Also available is the Weekly Ticket Package, which includes one ticket for each day of the championship (Monday–Sunday) at $125, with access to the grounds and grandstands.

Practice rounds will be held Monday, June 24, through Wednesday, June 26. Tee times will begin at approximately 6:45 a.m. and play will continue through the early evening, with admission gates opening at 6:30 a.m.

First- and second-round play will begin at 6:45 a.m. on Thursday, June 27, and Friday, June 28, with the gates opening at 6:30 a.m. Third- and fourth-round play will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday, June 29, and Sunday, June 30, with the admissions gates opening at 7 a.m. Play will continue until approximately 6 p.m., followed immediately by the trophy presentation on the 18th green.

Throughout championship week, youths 17 and under will receive free admission when accompanied by a ticketed adult. Youngsters will also receive front-row seating in all on-course grandstands.

There will be two special junior clinics during championship week. On Tuesday, June 25, a clinic hosted by 2010 U.S. Women’s Open champion Paula Creamer and Today show host Matt Lauer will be held at 2 p.m. on the Sebonack Golf Club practice range. Creamer and Lauer will discuss their backgrounds and love for the game of golf, followed by a display of trick shots and challenges.

On Wednesday, June 26, the Dennis Walters Golf Show will take place at 3 p.m., also on the Sebonack driving range. Paralyzed from the waist down, Dennis Walters dazzles with an array of trick shots while sitting in his wheelchair. His dog, Bucky, also plays a prominent role in the show, as he barks out the correct answers to Dennis’s golf trivia questions. Admission to both clinics is free to all ticket holders.
