Mike was kind enough to describe in some detail the geological formation and forest that is the far left back tee.  I hope he or someone else can repeat here for everyones benefit.  We played the intermediate right side tee which gave us an opportunity to use a wonderful turboe boost built into the right side of the fairway.  This left a 150 yd shot to an uphill green to a pin tucked behind and gaurded left by bunkers of odd shape by most standards.  I would also say this green was more predictable than most.  A beautiful straightforward hole of moderate difficulty.  Nice fit.

The championship tee on the third hole is an esker.

Eskers are sinuous ridges formed from drift deposited in tunnels running through a glacier.

"The area area is called kettle moraine and it was formed where two glacial lobes met. The complex collection of landforms and sediment got its name from its abundant round-bottomed depressions, which formed where blocks of ice were buried by outwash or other types of sediment. When the buried ice melted, the overlying sediment collapsed to form a pit resembling the widely used cast-iron kettles of the 1800's."

Wisconsin has an interesting geological history.

John I'm not sure what you mean by "predictable" in reference to the green.  That front left placement we saw was pretty scary from above the hole and to the right.  

A good par 4, marred by inexplicably long grass on the right side, exactly where you want to hit the tee shot to get some of that turbo boost.  The hole would be better if they set it up to tempt the golfer toward that bunker and reward him if clears it.  

Several holes at Erin Hills have long grass in odd places.

One of my favorites.  We played the 422 green tee into the wind. This is a view from lower and to the left of the green tees.  



The green and blue tees are between the two trees in the middle.  The 2nd green is in the opening to the right of the gravel path and the championship tees are to the right of the 2nd green cut into the hill along the tree line.  The championship tees at 500 yds plus provide a cape like concept to the drive over the long grass. The combination of slope and tiering makes this green challenging and fun to putt.

Clearly, the megalopolis of Chitwnilwaukee is better off, golf course wise, with EH within their drive time.

The only question I have is... Do some of the holes get lost in all that space?
