Door Closes On 2011 Golf Season

Erin Hills would like to begin by thanking everyone that made the 2011 golf season such a success here at Erin Hills. From all those volunteers, USGA, and WSGA staff members that made the U.S. Amateur greatly successful to every golfer that came out to enjoy the golf course, Erin Hills thanks you!

Although fall has set in and the warmth of summer has all but disintegrated, everyone here at Erin Hills is excited for the 2012 golf season. With a year under our belt with greatly increased lodging options, 2012 is sure to be another great year. The Cottages seemed to be a hit this year, and we're excited to fill them up for next year, and we are accepting reservations for the entire 2012 season already.

Thanks again to everyone that made 2011 such a great year for us, and we look forward to keeping up with you throughout the off season and seeing you again in the spring! Keep us up to date on Facebook here and Twitter here with your winter plans and vacations!
