How to Play the U.S Open on a Golf Simulator

Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, North Carolina, specifically Pinehurst No. 2, will play host to the 124th US Open Golf Tournament from June 13-16, 2024.

Pinehurst has 12 golf courses and is one of the most sought after golf destinations. However, a lot of us won't ever have the chance to play any of the courses there. But that doesn't mean we can't enjoy playing Pinehurst from the comfort of our own homes or local commercial golf simulator business.
