The U.S. Open is played at iconic venues around the country, with 51 courses to date holding the distinction of being a U.S. Open site. Erin Hills became the sixth public access course to host the championship (joining Pebble Beach, Pinehurst, Bethpage, Torrey Pines and Chambers Bay). More than 200,000 fans attended for the week and more than 5,000 volunteers assisted with the championship. The economic impact of the championship to our community exceeded $120 million.
The U.S. Open is considered one of the preeminent worldwide golf events, delivering the most memorable moments in golf history. The 2017 U.S. Open Championship, held on the grand stage of Erin Hills, was its 117th playing. We were honored to welcome U.S. Open fans back to the Midwest, as Erin Hills made history.
