U.S. Open
U.S. Open takes place Jun 17 - 20, 2027 at Pebble Beach (practice rounds Jun 14 - 16) in Southampton, USA. The dress code is No spectator code - smart casual with proper layers. Coastal Monterey mornings are cold and grey even in June, so bring a windbreaker and a warm mid-layer you can strip off by afternoon. Typical cost ranges from 1400 to 6000 EUR per person.
The USGA's national championship, set up to be the hardest test in golf, where even par usually wins and the winner's score is often over par. The 2027 edition goes to Pebble Beach Golf Links on the Monterey Peninsula, moving on from Shinnecock Hills, and pairs brutal scoring with the most photographed clifftop finish in the sport. It remains a genuinely open championship: any professional or amateur with a handicap index of 0.4 or better can enter local qualifying.

How to attend
Tickets are released through usopen.com, usually via a registration or pre-sale window opening around a year ahead, with weekly and daily grounds options plus premium hospitality. Practice-round days are cheaper, less crowded and let you walk the full clifftop routing at your own pace. Golfers can also apply for local and final qualifying, which is the only major where an amateur can genuinely play their way in from a public course.
Insider tip
Pebble Beach's closing stretch runs along the cliff edge with public coastal access nearby, so the 2027 venue offers rare free vantage points - but arrive at dawn, because the shoreline path fills before the first groups reach the turn.
