Epic stuff. A couple of holes were somewhat undistinguished, specifically 5 and 17, which keep me from giving the course a 6 ball rating, but this is a great layout that is enjoyable providing you play from the correct set of tees. May 23-July 12 $295. I have covered 30 US Opens and played all of the key courses that have served as host to the national championship of American golf. This is a very deep green, so pay attention to the pin location. The 18th is the mcgilla of mcgillas. Erin Hills is no cheap ticket to play -- greens fees are roughly $230 and that doesn't include the optional caddie. My recommendation, get off to a good start and play it as a 3 shotter. Credit the USGA in providing for a stage in which rewards were certainly doable -- just look at what Justin Thomas did in round three versus what he did in round four. This fee supports the additional amenities available exclusively to overnight guests: valet parking, luggage handling, overnight golf club storage, access to the Caddie Barn in the evening, and golf on the Kettle Loop. This isn’t a testament to my strength, but simply some light wisdom in choosing tees. Long before championship golf was played at Erin Hills, glaciers carved unique features into the landscape, turning Wisconsin’s Kettle Moraine into the diverse region it is today. Ownership went one step further -- closing off all play when the '16 season came to an end in October. The hole bends to the right with a huge mound of deep high fescue awaiting the errant shot to that side. Similarly, the emphasis on aerial attack occasionally results in repeated tactics; consider, for example, Nos. Here you face a daunting tee shot from a visual perspective. No, the fairways at Erin Hills “crest,” the type of stuff that big-boy surfers ride to glory. The 7th is a par 5 with over 20 bunkers sprinkled around. Thirty-seven bedrooms are available on property (including ten guest rooms above a very homely clubhouse) for visitors who wish to savour the full Wisconsin golf experience. There are 6 sets of tees, from a women's gold tee at 5082 yards to the back tees of 7800 yards. A good drive will create a conundrum, go for it or lay up? On the advice of the USGA, several changes, mainly on the front nine, have been made to the course since it opened, with a ridge cut down on the opening fairway, the green on the second hole increased in size and the tough par four 8th extended to nearly 500 yards from the tips. The 6th is a long par 3 with an elevated green. With three bunkers guarding the front, long is better. 2021 Rates. An alternative would be to manage the course better - grade the rough!! Golf carts and pull carts are not allowed at Erin Hills, and caddies are recommended. My advice is middle of the green.The back starts with a bang. I opted to lay up and thought I hit a good pitch but alas, I stayed in the middle of the green. Hurdzan and associates have provided areas to miss on nearly every hole (the exception is the course’s finest short hole, the pearl-necklaced No. Memorable holes include: #2, a spectacular short par four with fantastic options: attack off the tee to a blind fairway, or lay up short of the mound and leave a blind approach, #8, a very difficult long par four that plays over not one but two enormous valleys, #9, a testy short downhill par three, #12, a par four that threads the player between two large mounds We played this course as the first round on a trip to Wisconsin that included later stops at Lawsonia Links; I had expected Erin Hills to be the star of the trip and I’m glad we played it because it really is a great course, but for the money I’d play Lawsonia any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Erin Hills is another Wisconsin golf course that has embraced ragged edge bunkers.The first hole is a welcoming par 5. How big is your appetite? The playing surfaces for the '17 US Open were nothing short of stellar.Much of the flow of Erin Hills is in a east-west and west-east pattern. Sure enough, once the ball got to its apex it shot back onto the green and whizzed by the hole. 3 through 5, all Par 4s featuring similar centerline bunkers ahead of the green. Having a short par-4 in the mix was a real plus in so many ways. Strong -- and accurate players -- can reap the benefit of "speed slot" if the tee shot is shaped accordingly. Koepka showed plenty of courage in going deep with his approach to a pin tucked hard to the right side. Normally that would be a good thing.
Players need to shape shots accordingly and when done successfully can result in ample rewards.
If you are too far left, it will be a blind approach. If you thought the front center bunker on the 3rd looked angry and hungry check out the two on the 4th. The dogleg left is an outstanding golf hole.
The USGA provided different tee locations and while the hole was birdie-fest on Saturday's 3rd round when the wind was non-existent -- the same hole was utterly devilish on Sunday's final round with the wind howling and into the player's faces. The backside is tremendous. There are only four trees on the course. From the tips 663 yards. The green is chiseled into a ledge with an extreme dropoff to the right.
The green, sloping from the The finishing 663-yard 18th is straight for the first 400 yards followed by a dogleg to the left for the last 200 yards. Arguably the most scenic inland course in Scotland. Thus, the fairway bunkers on the right side, about 50 yards out, will keep the big hitters honest.
lowest winning score of 16 under par. Of course now they are adding a ton of bunkers and taking out some of the quirkiness (read blind shots) as they are apparently in line for an Open. If you have dreamed of relaxing in the warm, rustic ambience of an Irish country inn, you’ll experience that and more when you spend an evening with us at the Lodge.
