The Road to Erin Hills Starts Here
For 120 amateur and professional golfers from across the country, the road
to Erin Hills and the 117th United States Open will begin on Tuesday, May
16th. Wintonbury Hills Golf Course, the first Pete Dye course designed in
New England, will host the Local Qualifying Round. The course, which has
been consistently rated as one of the top municipal courses in the country,
will surely provide a stern test as more than 125 bunkers guard the small
and challenging green complexes. The last players from Connecticut to
successfully qualify for the U.S. Open were Brett Stegmaier and Cameron
Wilson, both of whom qualified for the 2014 U.S. Open at Pinehurst #2.
