2) Existing PGA Tour venues should not be selected as US Open venues and certainly not in the Rota (throwing grenade into the center of the room). Yes, the San Diego area has become the hub of the golf equipment industry, however, Torrey is SOOOO overdone and no reason to have as an Open site, esp. on a repeat basis.
How cool would a Myopia US Open be?

The lack of infrastructure might make that a bit short-sighted.

Maybe through the lens of conventional thinking, but you’re a glasses half full kind of guy. No matter how you look at it and wherever it’s contested, a US Open should be pun-ishing.....
Would like to see Oakland Hills again, but I grew up in the area. I think if the membership pushed through the renovation they've been toying with they would pique the USGA's interest.Having caddied in the 1985 U.S. Open at OHCC, it will be 30 yrs. come 2026 since the last time the Open was last held there. Prior to that the club hosted an Open on average every 15 yrs. I don't know what the course and or membership did to fall out of favor with the USGA, but for a prestigious and historic club nicknamed "The Monster" by Ben Hogan, I find its absence from the U.S. Open course rota an abomination. Granted, the club has hosted two U.S. Amateurs since the 1996 U.S. Open, but that's chump change in my mind. I'd be curious to know if there is something more going on that I am not privy to that would explain the club and courses disappearance from major championship golf, as I don't believe the PGA Championship has plans of coming back to OHCC anytime soon as well.

It seems as though the US Open is loathe to return to venues similar to OHCC, not just OHCC itself. By that I mean large, venerable cool season grassed parkland privates in major metropolitan areas. There have been very few Medinahs, Baltusrols, etc. in the past couple decades. The only one coming up in the future in that category would be Brookline in 2022 and Winged Foot coming up as well. But Winged Foot is really a "best of breed" parkland layout.I don't think the issue is so much the USGA being loathe to return to parkland privates as it is golden era courses in general - many of which are either judged as being too short by today's standards and or do not have the open spaces required for the customary VIP & merchandise tents, grandstands, concession kiosks, porta-johns, parking, etc. It's for this reason your seeing a lot of newer courses, i.e. Erin Hills, Chambers Bay, Whistling Straits, etc. hosting majors, as they have the length, layout and open spaces to hold today's festival-like events. Though Shinnecock Hills falls into the golden era course category, you may not see another U.S. Open held there after 2026, as I talked to a friend who knows a member there that told them that because the course is short by today's standards the club was given an edict by the USGA to make the rough ridiculously long and decrease the width of the fairways more so than past Opens held there so that they pros don't chop it up. As such, this member said he and others are not looking forward to playing the course the closer they get to the Open, as the conditions are going to be brutal for most of them. If this is what golden era courses are going to have to deal with in order to even be considered to host a U.S. Open or PGA Championship, is it even worth the inconvenience to the membership at these privates? I don't know.
If one cares about a course from an architectural PoV rather than an historical venue for majors, its much better to hope the course doesn't host a major.+1

Mike,
Shinnecock, recently completed a fairway width restoration, dating from lost fairway width over the years in general, and concluding with the 2004 US Open.
The newer fairway widths for the US Open will not be nearly as narrow as previous widths(definitely not narrower than previous Opens), just significantly narrowerer than the recent widening of the last few years.
Why they needed to regrass the roughs with fescue(and then replace it later) rather than simply allowing the fairways to grow to rough escapes me, but much of the USGA logic escapes me.
The members there moan every time there is an Open, saying never again, and then a few years go by, and voila-another Open magically appears.
Evidently money and ego trump inconvenience.
It will be interesting to see if Chicago gets another Open (or PGA) in the near future. It's assured that it will be over a 25 year drought for the open, and almost a 20 year drought for a major at this point. There are really only three sites that could possibly host (Olympia Fields, Medinah and Butler) and one would require a drastic change in membership.I am biased, but I would like to see my hometown get another major. Not just one, but at least 1 per every 5 years (US OPEN or PGA).
I know there are concerns in this thread the last Open at Olympia Fields was boring, but I'm not sure that's anything more than code for Tiger and Phil played poorly and Furyk ran away with it, in the same way the last Pinehurst Open was somewhat boring while still being a great golf course.
Exactly why I believe the Masters has surpassed the US Open in prestige. Erin Hills. Torrey Pines, Chambers Bay just don't make it. The first requirement is a stately clubhouse and these are lacking :)
