Shinnecock Hills is the links-style course on Long Island, New York, that has hosted the U.S. Open four times, and will be the host course next year for a fifth time (and also a sixth time in 2026). Evidently, it’s the course that Erin Hills most favorably compares to, according to people who should know – like Wisconsin native Steve Stricker.
Of the first 116 U.S. Opens, 65 were held in the Great Lakes region – 18 in New York, 17 in Pennsylvania, 13 in Illinois, seven in Ohio, six in Michigan and four in Minnesota. This will be the first U.S. Open held in Wisconsin, a state that boasts of 700,000 golfers among its 5.7 million residents.
If you aren’t already familiar with this term, then get ready – you’ll likely hear it referenced multiple times this week. It’s the region in Wisconsin where Erin Hills is located.
There are 138 of them. Unlike bunkers at most courses, there are almost no flat bottoms. “Relative to most U.S. Opens,” said Davis, “these are really hazards.” TOUR pros who normally don’t mind finding bunkers if they miss a green will now have to suffer the consequences of a endless variety of uphill, downhill and sidehill lies.
There's lot of early consternation from players about the high fescue (check out Kevin Na's Twitter feed) but just a guess here -- driving accuracy may be the least important stat this week. Davis said the fairways are considerably wider than most U.S. Open courses, thus marginalizing that fescue rough.
Thanks to all those glacier collisions, the course has a lot of bumps and mounds – enough to make it tough to see the pin flag or the putting surface or landing area on a fairly significant amount of shots. In fact, Davis noted that 14 of the 18 holes have "some element of blindness ... it adds to the mystique of this golf course."
A few days ago, the USGA noted the official yardage for Erin Hills – 7,741 yards. That would make it the longest in the tournament’s 117 years – if it’s played at that length. Davis said last month the scorecard yardage would be 7,692, and the length will definitely vary each round depending on the setup.
England's Lee Westwood posted a humorous video of his caddie crawling through the rough before emerging with his ball - but several players have criticised the depth and thickness of the rough more vehemently.
US Opens have long been designed to be exacting tests by the USGA and this year's course is the longest in the championship's history at over 7,700 yards.
The Erin Hills Golf Course is a hybrid set on rolling hills with a flavour somewhere between links and farmland. There are no trees to separate holes in this very natural layout set on a rugged landscape, and the views throughout the entire course are breathtaking. The fairways and greens are firmly protected by fescue grasses and/or a series of bunkers. The greens are huge and highly undulating. When you are on some of elevated teeing grounds or greens, you can see 360-degree views of the surrounding course. Erin Hill is a large-scale, wild, and windswept course. Although the course appears quite orthodox, each hole is very long and quite challenging, and the course offers each player a stern test of golf. This course hosted the Nationwide Amateur Open in 2012, and was selected for the 2017 US Open.
Make no mistake, though, Erin Hills is golf on an epic scale, a big course in a vast landscape, where the overall length can vary from a modest 5,434 yards to a whopping 7,845 yards.
Erin Hills is another Wisconsin golf course that has embraced ragged edge bunkers. The first hole is a welcoming par 5. The hole tilts left and there are wetlands left, thus favor the right. This is one of the few holes were a running approach can be successful.
Erin Hills is the second public golf course in Wisconsin to host a major championship. The 2011 US Amateur was, for most people, the club's introduction on the world stage. The announcement of the 2017 US Open further cemented its place in American golf history.
In having been on-hand and covering the 117th US Open Championship at Erin Hills I had the opportunity to observe the play of the world's best golfers. I had previously played the course in late '15 when the PGA Championship was hosted nearby at Whistling Straits.
Erin Hills is the collaboration of Hurdzan, Fry and Whitten. Originally opened in 2006, significant changes occurred in 2009 to get the course Open ready. First impression is of vastness, it looks big and plays big. However, due to the topography and geology it tends to play hard and fast.
