Erin Hills Golf Course

Golf Digest Top 100 Public·#10

A glacially sculpted masterpiece where majors come to play—dramatic terrain, firm fairways, and uncompromising championship character.

About the Course

Erin Hills is an American original routed over 652 acres of Wisconsin's legendary Kettle Moraine terrain. The course emerges naturally from glacially-carved landscape, featuring dramatic elevation changes, firm fescue fairways, and greens perched in ways that demand precision and strategy. Designed by the masterful trio of Michael Hurdzan, Dana Fry, and Ron Whitten, this relatively young course (opened 2006) has already hosted the 2017 U.S. Open and 2025 U.S. Women's Open, cementing its reputation as a championship test that rewards shot-making and course management. The experience feels distinctly Irish in character, set remote from civilization in the middle of rural Wisconsin—a rare, intimate setting where golf is truly the only distraction. Whether walking firm fairways under big Wisconsin skies, working with a caddie from the course's 150-strong roster, or enjoying the unique illuminated Drumlin putting course, Erin Hills delivers the complete championship golf experience without pretense. Groups consistently report that the walking-only format, seasoned caddies, and unforgiving design create unforgettable bonding moments and lasting memories.
