Where is the U.S. Open in 2026? Location, distance, course details for Shinnecock Hills

J.J. Spaun put on a show at Oakmont in 2025, stunningly winning the U.S. Open with the help of a 64-foot putt. Will another unlikely player rise to the top this year?

All eyes are on Scottie Scheffler's pursuit of the career grand slam, which would coincide with his 30th birthday on Sunday, but only one golfer in the U.S. Open's 156-player field will be able to walk away a champion.

U.S. Open courses tend to be some of the most challenging players will face all year, and that should certainly be the case again in 2026.

Here's a look at the course every U.S. Open participant will be taking on this weekend.
