Michael Hurdzan, Dana Fry, and Ron Whitten built Erin Hills on rolling glacial terrain northwest of Milwaukee, deliberately avoiding the word "links" even though the fescue fairways, five total trees, and total absence of water make it feel like one. They call it heathland—somewhere between parkland and links—and it plays exactly that wide-open and wind-exposed.
It opened in 2006 and hosted the U.S. Open just eleven years later in 2017, the first USGA men's championship ever awarded to an individually-owned course. Caddies are part of the experience by design, and on a windy day across Wisconsin farmland, you'll want one.
Erin Hills was built big—wide, wind-exposed, glacial ground—and it saves its scale for last. The par-5 18th is where Brooks Koepka closed out the 2017 U.S. Open at 16 under, a reachable finish that rewards nerve over a green cut into the hillside.
