Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee took to Twitter to offer his insight into Erin Hills, host of the 117th U.S. Open. Here is his hole-by-hole analysis:
#1 608 yds/plays north to south,so the prevailing wind will encourage a draw.A rare opening par 5 curves around wetland,level lies unlikely. pic.twitter.com/gNSR79C5cH brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017
#2 358 yds has the smallest green on the course at 4,000 ft. The 2nd risk reward hole in a row. Similar in the abstract to #3 at Augusta. pic.twitter.com/TmgFye7E4Z brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017

#4 439 yds/ straight hole w/2 ragged edge bunkers running 2 front middle of a false front,shallow green.Will punish a mishit:misjudged shot. pic.twitter.com/MLx6WANdjt brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017
#5 505 yds/subtle architecture element of an extended approach over the left greenside bnkr makes more reasonable a long shot to a left pin pic.twitter.com/yooJzIVX0B— brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 9, 2017
#6 237 yds prevailing wind helps/ the deepest green on the course (47yds) /false front gives a foreshortened sense and intimidating look. pic.twitter.com/sBMseJj5Wu brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017
#7 607 yds plays into the wind/ 22 bunkers wait to catch a poor or misjudged shot.Much to consider here,angles off tee,bnkrs 2 challenge etc pic.twitter.com/KvKRs2KEzr brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017

#10 504 yds/ the enormous sweep of this hole gives one a sense of the inspiration for this course/rolling hollows&humps rise to the green. pic.twitter.com/NPaPZsOKx8 brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017
#11 403 yds but can play 460 /bit of a breather hole that will provide birdie opportunities.The approach must carry 2 bunkers,elevated green pic.twitter.com/mc9e8IKgOZ brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017
#12 464yds originally planned as the 1st hole,designers thought it might prove to be best 1st hole in major championship golf.Will be a star pic.twitter.com/pSPg2viYhh brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017

#14 613 yds elevated tee, double dogleg par 5, risk/reward. The 2nd must carry a field of fescue to 2tierd green with a majestic false front pic.twitter.com/cCpyrz5Agc brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017
#15 370 yds likely to play at some point as a drivable par 4/ att.drawn to the many bunkers that run 2 elevated green requiring much thought pic.twitter.com/0iAluBVo2P brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) June 8, 2017
