Golf in Erin

Erin is a town in Washington County, set in the Kettle Moraine country northwest of Milwaukee. The town is best known as the home of Erin Hills, the acclaimed links-style course that hosted the 2017 U.S. Open, set among the glacial hills, kettles, and kames that define this dramatic stretch of the moraine. The Holy Hill basilica crowns a nearby ridge, rising above the wooded terrain. Erin keeps a deeply rural character in country shaped entirely by the last glaciers, with the open, grass-covered hills lending it an almost treeless, links-like feel in places. Golfers know Erin above all for its championship course, but recreational and club layouts fill the surrounding county. With the Kettle Moraine forest nearby and the Milwaukee metro within reach, Erin offers a base for golf in one of the most celebrated golf landscapes in Wisconsin.
