Atlanta Athletic Club will host the 130th U.S. Amateur Championship Aug. 12–18, 2030, bringing one of golf's most prestigious amateur tournaments back to Johns Creek for the second time in 16 years.

The dates appear on a long-range USGA schedule published by Golf News Net on Aug. 3. The club lists the championship as confirmed on its official history page, alongside a 2035 U.S. Women's Amateur already awarded to the same venue. The USGA first announced the hosting agreement in April 2022.

The event is four years out. But the timing aligns with Johns Creek's biggest development bet.

Medley's hotel will be open and waiting

Medley, the $560 million mixed-use development at Johns Creek Parkway and McGinnis Ferry Road, is on track for an Oct. 29 grand opening with more than 75% of retail space leased. At full buildout, the 43-acre project will deliver 164,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment space, 883 residences, 110,000 square feet of office space and a 150-key boutique hotel.

That hotel is the piece most directly relevant to a championship week. Toro Development Company announced in January that Mainsail Lodging & Development will build and operate The Hotel at Medley, with doors opening in 2028. Mark Toro, the company's chief vision officer, said in the January announcement that the property would serve business travelers, families celebrating special events and visitors drawn by Medley's mixed-use environment.

Medley's second phase, known as Encore, broke ground April 13 with Mayor John Bradberry and City Council members present. A 25,000-square-foot plaza programmed for up to 200 events per year is part of the full buildout.

AAC's championship history

It won't be AAC's first major stage. The club hosted the 2014 U.S. Amateur on its Highlands and Riverside courses, and its championship history stretches to the 1976 U.S. Open won by Jerry Pate. More recently, 156 golfers from over 30 states and nine countries competed at AAC during the 120th Southern Amateur Championship July 15–18, 2026.

The Riverside Course was redesigned by architect Tripp Davis in 2022.

What's still unknown

Georgia's golf industry generates $5.3 billion in annual economic impact, according to the Georgia State Golf Association, but no specific projection for the 2030 event in Johns Creek has been released. The Johns Creek Chamber of Commerce, which closed fiscal year 2025–2026 with 46.2% net membership growth and more than 364 member businesses, has not commented publicly on the championship's economic potential.

No local organizing committee or volunteer recruitment timeline has been announced. The USGA typically forms those structures 12 to 18 months before a championship, which would put initial planning around early 2029.
