May 2020 Photos of the Month
In May, Golf Advisor received over 18,000 course reviews from our community. That's the second highest monthly total since we launched in 2014! It's clear that there is a pent up demand and energy surrounding the game of golf as shelter-in-place orders are lifted and more and more golf courses resume operations across the U.S. and around the world.
In Wisconsin, Erin Hills reopened for play on May 18th and this past weekend hosted a small group of Midwest Local Golf Advisors who drove in from nearby states. They took on a nice breeze to do battle with the 2017 U.S. Open host. Their reviews and images from the day are already trickling in.
Until next time @ErinHillsGolf. Big thank you to @GolfAdvisor and @BrandonTucker for a great experience. Glad to get a second shot at it on a beautiful day. Improved by 8 strokes overnight. Only need to improve by 20 more strokes to take on the record set by @JustinThomas34. pic.twitter.com/GSI9XalSCa
