Erin Hills joins a list of 13 other courses that have hosted or will host the U.S. Open, U.S. Women’s Open, U.S. Amateur and U.S. Women’s Amateur. The course played host to the first U.S. Open in the state of Wisconsin in 2017 when Brooks Koepka won the first of his two consecutive titles. Erin Hills also was the site of the 2011 U.S. Amateur, where Kelly Kraft defeated Patrick Cantlay, 2 up, in the 36-hole final.
“We’re excited to continue our partnership with the USGA by hosting these five championships,” said Andy Ziegler, owner of Erin Hills. “We strongly believe in supporting and celebrating amateur golf, and these championships do exactly that.”
Next May’s U.S. Women’s Open will be the fifth USGA championship conducted at Erin Hills. The venue was the site of the 2008 U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links, when Tiffany Joh won the second of her two titles with a 2-and-1 victory over Jennifer Song. In September 2022, Matthew McClean won an all-Irish final when he edged out Hugh Foley to win the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship.
Located 35 miles northwest of Milwaukee in the Kettle Moraine region, Erin Hills was designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan, Dana Fry and Ron Whitten. The public facility opened for play in 2006.
There have been 17 USGA championships contested in Wisconsin through the 2024 season. This will be the first time either of the USGA’s Four-Ball Championships, which debuted in 2015, will be held in Wisconsin. It also marks the first time the U.S. Women’s Amateur will be held in the Badger State.
