While I do enjoy watching the U.S. Open on the classic venues, I do wonder how long the USGA will continue to ignore the second most populous state. Although the weather may not be ideal in Texas in early June, the rain patterns are changing (we have been in a drought for the last several years).
Champions was the last all Bermuda grass golf course to host the Open in 1969. I am not sure if the USGA will ever go to an all Bermuda grass golf course again. However, the population of the U.S. is moving to the south and southwest so perhaps a future Open site is in the cards. If the U.S. Open is truly a national championship, then it should be played in all areas of the country regardless of grass types. Colorado, Arizona, the deep south and Florida should also be considered, and each of these regions contain venues that could be modified to provide plenty of challenge while addressing all of the logistical concerns as well.
