US Open Golf Venues

US Open VenuesFor four days a year the US Open combines the world’s best golfers with some of finest golf courses around the USA, allowing golf fans from all corners of the States to catch a glimpse of their golfing heroes.

Since it was first played at the Newport Country Club (Rhode Island) back in 1895, the US Open has covered hundreds of thousands of miles.. In addition to this, millions of spectators have lined the fairways to witness a competition that has played host to some of the most memorable moments in US Open History.

Each venue poses different challenges to the US Open players, many of whom consider the Open as the toughest of all four majors. Each major has a set of characteristics that differentiates it from the others and the US Open is no different with the array of long holds, large areas of open rough and hilly greens. Such features place the emphasis on a players ability to drive long distances down narrow the fairways, whilst being able to putt accurately on challenging greens.
