Seriously, that is an awesome looking course. It looks to be rather hilly. Is that accurate?

Very nice course. Great link.

Not much water. I have played Whistling Straights (PGA Championship 2004) and Erin Hills is almost as nice (at 1/3 the price). They only moved dirt on a few holes and took the natural landscape and made the course. You may see a USGA Major there in the next 10-20 years. The tips play over 8000 and one green is 1800 square feet (2) and one is over 78 yards long. Very hilly. Lots of the area there was formed by glaciers and have caused the hills. There are numerous blind shots, but at times you can be playing and not see another person.

no 1800 square feet. The green is extremely tiny. The hole is short so they made the green extremely small.

ok...that was why I deleted. I read it at first as the green being 1800 sq ft and 78 yards long...but then realized you were referring to two different greens.


Whats the best course you ever played?

We are blessed with a ton of great courses within 1 hr from my home, but I would have to say the best course is The Straits course at Whistling Straits. It is about $350 plus tax and caddie gratuity. So at over $400 to play it is a once every 5 years type of course for me.

Yeah...a buddy of mine played in that PGA Championship there a few years ago (and played well if I remember). He raved about the course.

Seriously,for $400 don't you think some kind of great feeling physical contact needs to take place?

I don't think the split tees is a big deal at all, but it drives me crazy when you go to a course and don't know the greens have been punched til you get to the first green and it's chinese checkers with a sandbox chaser...pisses me off....
