Erin Hills
Overview
Why it matters
Erin Hills feels as if Wisconsin’s kettle moraine country had been waiting for golf to discover it. The property rolls in immense waves, with fescue, ridges, exposed bunkers, and wide corridors that let the wind become a design partner.
The walking-only rhythm gives the round a pilgrimage quality, especially when the light drops across the long grasses. It is grand without being ornamental, demanding without feeling cramped, and thoroughly modern in its embrace of scale. Erin Hills offers championship ambition with lodge-side ease.

Demanding in the wind but beautifully presented, with one of the better post-round lodge atmospheres in the Midwest.
