Erin Hills

Set across glacial landforms, this U.S. Open site is highly memorable. Highlights include the tiny 2nd green that gives that short two-shotter its bite, and the long but slender hit-it-or-else green at the par-3 9th — miss left or right and a game of Ping-Pong can break out across the narrow putting surface. The second nine has exquisite undulations, including on the tumbling 12th fairway, which captures Erin Hills’ magic. At the 2017 U.S. Open here, Brooks Koepka’s superior ball-striking (he finished 1st in GIR, T4 for fairways hit and 7th in driving distance) proved to be a roadmap for success.
