Public Course

We are honored that you have elected to make a tee time to play at Erin Hills.

On October 1, 2008, we initiated an enhancement program that affected fourteen of the holes. Our purpose was to improve some of the fairways, greens, tees and bunkers for the upcoming 2011 U.S. Amateur. The improvements make Erin Hills a better golf course. Unfortunately, we experienced a wet spring, in addition to adding more features to the course than originally planned. Our progress was delayed.

The fairways, tees and greens are very playable. In fact, the greens are rolling true at 11-11.5. The biggest problem that we have had is…"no rain" that affects the unirrigated areas.

Following is a list of some of the inconveniences you might experience:
- The fine fescue outside the ropes has just recently germinated due to the lack of rain.
- The sides of some of the new bunkers are in various stages of growing in.
- Some of the re-sodded fairways have not fully taken hold.
- Outside non-irrigated areas of some fairways are brown due to the lack of rain early in the year.

It is important that you have a memorable experience…while at the same time, we are doing our best to making you aware of the course conditions at the end of the enhancement process and during this exceptionally dry season.

WELCOME

After acquiring the property in 1999, and caring for the land until construction began on September 15, 2004...we now begin the third chapter in our book on Erin Hills…opening the course to share with you.

Erin Hills is just golf.  There are…no houses, tennis courts, swimming pools, spas or weddings.  Our opening will be…just golf…tee it up and enjoy the experience.  There will be no bands, ceremonies or ribbon cuttings.

Our goal at Erin Hills is to create a most unique golfing experience for you, which will hopefully be reflective of the Irish and Scottish links style golf courses.  Erin Hills is a championship, tournament golf course for amateurs and professionals…statewide and national.

Erin Hills hosted the United States Golf Association’s Women’s Amateur Public Links Tournament in 2008, the first golf course to receive an official USGA tournament before opening day.  We are appreciative and honored.

Hurdzan, Fry and Whitten, the architects, found the best nineteen holes and linked them together…creating Erin Hills.   Now, we want to share this unique piece of land with you.

Erin Hills is highlighted by natural terrain, undulated fairways, glacial dunes and a variety of greens…and…”oh, the wind”.  Some oaks, maples, tamaraks and hickorys accent the terrain without inhibiting play or obstructing the all encompassing vistas.  The star of Erin Hills is the contours and the grasses which create a most links style experience.

Does Erin Hills have water?  Each and every hole is encircled, lined or surrounded by a…”Sea of Fescue”.  If you visit and play Erin Hills, you may become familiar with the “Sea of Fescue”…the ever blowing natural grasses lining each hole.  The fescue is an integral part of the golfing experience...and the challenge.

These grasses are “environmentally protected”.  The entire staff will respectfully request that you please support us by entering the “Sea of Fescue” anywhere on the course.

Although Erin Hills is a daily fee golf course, we want you, our golfing guests…to be members for the day.  We want you to enjoy the course and the surrounding environment.  Take in the golf, the natural terrain, the sweeping vistas and the activity areas around the clubhouse including the two 1880’s outings and activities barns.

Erin Hills is not for everyone.  As a daily member, we will ask you to share in the responsibility for making Erin Hills something unique for the golfing world.  If you are looking for a pristine, manicured golf course…a carpeted modern clubhouse…house lined fairways…then Erin Hills is simply not for you.  Erin Hills is a natural, challenging, rough and rugged link-style golfing experience.

We share with you a WARNING…and ask you to proceed with caution…Erin Hills is a most challenging golf course…extremely challenging. The key to enjoying Erin Hills is to…”Play the Proper Tees”.

Please accept the responsibility of:

• Do not enter in the “Sea of Fescue”.
• Wearing proper golf attire (no jeans, tennis shoes, etc.)
• Silence all cell phones.
• Adhere to proper golf etiquette and the rules of golf.
• Always…”play the proper tees”…suited to your game.

  Your interest, patience, support and understanding is appreciated.

Thank you.
