Marcus Hotels & Resorts is also offering a U.S. Open package at the InterContinental Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. Called “Fore! The Love of Golf,” the $1,109 package includes two tickets to the U.S. Open and access to the hospitality tent and its bar, overnight accommodations for two people at the hotel and transportation from the hotel to the golf tournament.

This will be the first time the U.S. Open has been played in Wisconsin. It is expected to have a major impact on the southeastern Wisconsin economy. Visit Milwaukee says the U.S. Open will have a $60 million economic impact on the metro Milwaukee area, and the United States Golf Association says the economic impact on the southeastern Wisconsin region will be $125 million.

Erin Hills is located in Washington County, about 35 miles northwest of downtown Milwaukee. As many as 35,000 people per day will visit the golf course during the U.S. Open, which will be held from June 15-18.
