History
Erin Hills Golf Course, designed by Michael Hurdzan, Dana Fry, and Ron Whitten and opened in 2006 in rural Waukesha County, Wisconsin, is the most significant public-access course built in America in the 21st century. Set on 650 acres of glacially-sculpted Wisconsin farmland, the course features dramatic elevation changes of over 200 feet, fescue rough, and a sweeping routing of grandeur recalling Scottish and Irish links. It hosted the 2017 U.S. Open — the first in Wisconsin — where Brooks Koepka won with a record-tying score of -16. The course is open to public play, making it among the most accessible top-100 venues.
