    It's an exact replica of a Classic Old course. I find it fantastic and very hard. Play it more and learn the breaks and tricks to getting around the course.

    Olympic, Merion, Oakmont, and Bethpage are US Open venues.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Open_(golf)

    The U.S. Open is staged at a variety of courses, set up in such a way that scoring is very difficult with a premium placed on accurate driving. U.S. Open play is characterized by tight scoring at or around par by the leaders, with the winner usually emerging at around even par. A U.S. Open course is seldom beaten severely, and there have been many over-par wins (in part because par is usually set at 70, except for the very longest courses). Normally, an Open course is quite long and will have a high cut of primary rough (termed "Open rough" by the American press and fans), undulating greens (such as at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2005, which was described by Johnny Miller of NBC as "like trying to hit a ball on top of a VW Beetle"), and pinched fairways (especially on what are expected to be less difficult holes).

    If you can't run with the big dogs.........
