About Erin Hills Golf Course Golf Course

Erin Hills is a singular golf course — a massive, public links-style layout set on 600 acres of rolling Wisconsin glacial terrain that has no real American analogue outside of Bandon Dunes. Opened in 2006 and designed by Mike Shurdut, Ron Whitten, and Dana Fry, the course was built from the ground up on a tract of land purchased specifically to create a course worthy of major championship golf. Wide fescue fairways, natural native rough corridors, and expansive greens give the course an almost Scottish quality, with wind across the exposed ridgelines capable of turning a routine approach into a survival exercise. Erin Hills hosted the 2017 US Open, becoming the first Wisconsin venue to host a major — and Brooks Koepka's dominant 16-under winning score challenged the conventional wisdom that links-style venues with soft conditions cannot be set up for US Open difficulty. The course is walkable, caddie-friendly, and operated as a public facility — a rarity for a venue that has hosted the US Open. The first tee offers one of the most arresting views in Midwestern golf: wide, rolling terrain with no artificial intrusions, just Wisconsin hills and sky.
