The Architecture of Shinnecock Hills

Site of the 2026 U.S. Open

When William Flynn redesigned Shinnecock Hills in 1931, he created arguably the greatest championship golf course in America. His sublimely varied routing combined with ever-present wind and outstanding land allowed Flynn to create a punishing golf course, one where sound second shots and restraint are rewarded.

A special thanks to Wayne Morrison and Bill Coore.
