"The U.S. Open is scheduled out through 2026, so a return visit to Erin Hills won't happen for at least 10 years.

But there's no way the United States Golf Association isn't coming back.

Not after a week in which players universally praised Erin Hills as a championship venue, the course was in immaculate condition, the spectator experience was exceptional and the whole thing worked well from an operations standpoint.

When I reached USGA Executive Director Mike Davis by phone Monday, he summed up the week in one word: "Superb.""

It sure sounds like the people that matter (players/USGA officials) had a positive impression. Maybe disgruntled fans don't count for that much?

That's par for the course

Or media that want to get their hot take in.

Brings up the question. Which is the best golf course you've ever played at?

Probably Arcadia Bluffs or Harborside for me, which I know aren't exactly top of the line courses but nice nonetheless.

Except there's disgruntled fans either way.

USGA is taking the lead in marketing golf, Erin Hills is far more marketable than a stuffy tree-lined CC.

Have some patience, FFS.

Come on now, debating things like that can be a hazard. We shouldn't let something like this drive a wedge between us.

There is no fair way to discuss this.  To not do so leads to a bunker mentality.

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

I think we could drive the debate forward, but first I need a slice of pizza.

I haven't read much of this thread, but heard on the local Minneapolis radio that there was a serious tick problem at this course.  Caddy's and players were apparently pulling 5-10 ticks off themselves after each round.  Part of that is somewhat usual for the midwest in June, but that seems excessive. 

For those of you that walked the course for the event, did you experience the same issue?

I had heard that the tick "season" is worse than usual, but I didn't have any on me when I got back from my Saturday there.

Have you played Bethpage Black?  Not saying it as difficult as some of the others you have played, but dang, that course equalized me.  Mrs. Reinko is from Bethpage so I have waited in line early mornings as a single and get my ash kicked every time.

Great course. Probably the most fun I've ever had during a round. We played there a few weeks before it hosted the Barclays a few years back.

I'm not a good golfer (typically play bogey golf in the ugliest way imaginable). Started par-par-birdie-par on Bethpage Black.

I don't talk about the final 14 holes.

Not surprised. This has been a historically bad tick year. Another reason to stay out of the fescue!

I as well looked up-and-down myself and couldn't find any.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
