When arriving on property at Erin Hills you are greeted by valet parking, where they tag all your bags, ask if you need anything, go park your car so you can tour the clubhouse. Perfect start to the trip.
Next you walk to the outdoor patio and get the panoramic view of the championship golf course. I mean, once I saw this I was READY to get on the course!
We stayed on property, near the first tee. Beautiful room with a beautiful setting. ERIN HILLS HAS A 64,000 PUTTING GREEN FOR NIGHTTIME FUN! This experience was unreal. The biggest green I’ve seen!
Finally we were able to get on the course, but not to golf but to start filming a documentary! Seeing the course through the lens of a drone is incredible. Breathtaking. To see how beautiful this property truly is from a BIRDS EYE view was beautiful.

Wisconsin has some of the best golf in the country
That entire area has some incredible golf.
Just watched the NLU club championship that was there and every hole looked absolutely amazing! Just the wind would eat me alive though….
I’m a local and although I haven’t golfed Erin yet, I can’t wait to take my daughter to the US Women’s Open next year. Beautiful country, and a lot of great golf in the area.
Kohler, Crystal Downs, and about 10 country clubs in Chicago (with their history) would like a word.
It’s great. Have you gone up to Sentryworld?
Born and raised in Utah a flat horizon with nothing beyond it is unsettling to me.
Sand Valley is the Midwest spot for me. 4 great courses (and plans to build more) and everyone was very accommodating and friendly. Half priced second round is helpful in managing costs if you’re willing to play 36 in a day.
Having done the stay and play at both Koehler and Erin Hills, I preferred EH. Group did a stay and play deal and stayed on property. Going out in the evening and playing the “kettle loop”- 5 of front 9 from alternate tee boxes, was a highlight.
Kohler was cool, but the property we stayed at was a drive from any of the courses. Golf was great, but if the accommodations were the same, I’d redo the EH trip.
