No. 27
Erin Hills Golf Course
The most talked about course of 2006 is, like Chambers Bay, a wild Irish rover that unfolds over heaving farmland 35 miles northwest of Milwaukee.
Already named as the site of the 2011 U.S. Amateur, this Michael Hurdzan/Dana Fry/Ron Whitten design remains on the short list of possible U.S. Open venues.
Stretching 7,824 yards from the back, Erin Hills has all the length it will ever need, plus an endless variety of lies, stances and angles. Only the club's bratwurst reminds you that the Emerald Isle is still an ocean away.
