Erin, Wisconsin
Tickets for the 2017 U.S. Open Championship at Erin Hills in Erin, Wis., are now available for purchase. The 117th U.S. Open Championship, scheduled for June 15-18, will be the first in Wisconsin and the first in the Midwest since 2003 at Olympia Fields (Ill.) Country Club. It will also be the sixth publicly accessible course to host the championship.
"Bringing the U.S. Open Championship to Wisconsin gives us another opportunity to inspire new audiences to love the game," said Mike Davis, executive director/CEO of the USGA. "There is a wonderful feel to Erin Hills, both completely connected to its natural environment and challenging, with architectural nuances that entice players to be creative and competitive."
An array of daily and multi-day package ticket options for the 117th U.S. Open, with prices starting at $50 for daily gallery tickets and $100 for package options.
Next year's championship promises to generate strong interest within an area known for exceptional golf and an energetic fan base, and purchasing tickets early is highly suggested.
Tickets orders will only be accepted on USGA websites at usopen.com or www.usga.org/tickets. Questions can be directed to ticketquestions@usga.org or by calling 1-800-698-0661.

Erin, Wisconsin
Shaped by glaciers thousands of years ago, Erin Hills is looking forward to hosting the U.S. Open in 2017, the first time our national championship will be contested in Wisconsin.
The minimalist, championship course is one of just six public-access courses to host the U.S. Open. In addition to its 18 holes, there is a variety of overnight lodging (ranging from single rooms to four bedroom/four bathroom cottages).
Now taking tee times and lodging reservations for the 2016 and 2017 seasons, Erin Hills, in an unprecedented move, will not open for public play in 2017 until after the U.S. Open in June. Therefore, 2016 is the last opportunity to play before the game's best tackle the course.

Grand Geneva Resort & Spa
Golf is good. Make it Grand at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa in Lake Geneva. A popular destination for golfers all over the Midwest, this luxury resort features two stellar courses, each one distinct in its design and offering a unique challenge.
The Brute is a stunning American classic - part beauty, part beast, and a true test of championship golf. One of the longest and most challenging courses in the Midwest, The Brute's bold design entices experienced pros and casual golfers alike.
Meanwhile, The Highlands harkens to the hills of Northern Scotland with its picturesque landscape and links-style layout. The course was originally designed by Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus, and transformed in 1996 by Bob Cupp.
Both courses offer an opportunity to win $10,000 in the Grand Geneva Hole-in-One Challenge. It's just $5 to enter at check-in, and if you sink an ace on select holes, you'll be leaving the green with a cool 10 grand. Learn more at GrandGenevaGolf.com.
