This weekend marks the beginning of the 117^th US Open Championship, hosted this year at Erin Hills Golf Course in Erin, Wisconsin. This iconic golf championship, organized by the USGA, got its start in 1895 at the Newport Country Club in Newport, Rhode Island. And if there’s one thing that 117 years of competition in this championship has shown us, it’s that this is no ordinary tournament. The US Open puts golf masters to the test by upping the “anti” on difficulty, and putting a large emphasis on accurate driving ability.

To commemorate the US Open in our own fashion, we’ve put together some special deals and contests, including a weekend putting contest that tests your putting skills. When you come by the Oaks Course to play a round from June 15^th through June 18^th, try your luck in our 60-foot putt contest. The player who putts their ball closest to the hole during this weekend competition will receive a one month membership to the Oaks completely FREE! And it’s no coincidence that the US Open always falls during the weekend of Father’s Day. Treat Dad to a special golf outing on Sunday, June 18^th. And if he happens to be a putting master, he may win the 60-foot putt!

These aren’t the only great deals we’re rolling out this week. Did you know we’ve declared the rest of June at the Oaks Course to be Walking Month? This means that all walking rounds pay a special flat rate of $30, with UNLIMITED holes for the entire day! We also have our Players Assistants coming around to offer all players a cold bottled water and a refreshing ice towel to keep you cool in the hot, summer sun.

This weekend is a great excuse to get outside with Dad and enjoy the fresh air, and maybe a little exercise. Celebrate Dad and the historic and iconic US Open Championship with us, and take advantage of our special deals and contests. Call the Oaks Pro Shop to reserve your $30 walking round, or book a regular tee time with ease on our website!

Is it just us, or does it seem as if every day is designated as a different “National Day” or holiday? We took advantage of this trend, and decided to celebrate all month long with Pro Shop specials and features in our on-site Putter’s Restaurant. Join us during the month of June to receive discounts, special offers, or grab a drink and a meal before or after you play a round.

Starting with today, June 7^th, we welcome you to enjoy National Chocolate Ice Cream Day with an frosty chocolate treat at Putter’s. It’s the perfect way to stay cool on a warm, June afternoon! And tomorrow on the 8th, come back to Putter’s Restaurant and name your poison for National Name Your Poison Day. We’ll mix up your favorite cocktail with what we have available behind the bar.  June 9^th is Walking Day at the Oaks, so all walking rounds will receive a 50% discount that day! And what would National Iced Tea Day on June 10^th be without an ice cold, refreshing glass of Arnold Palmer iced tea & lemonade?

In celebration of National Children’s Day on Sunday, June 11^th, we would like to welcome all kids to play for FREE today with a paying adult! June 11^th is also National Corn on the Cob day, but we’re rolling this restaurant special into Monday the 12^th so you can enjoy a fresh ear of corn with your lunch or dinner meal. We’re also celebrating National Fudge Day three days early, and will be offering delectable fudge on June 13^th, because who needs a special day to have a sweet tooth? Then, keep your friends close, and your bourbon closer on June 14^th for National Bourbon Day. We’ll mix a Kentucky-inspired cocktail with varieties of bourbon that we will have at Putter’s Restaurant.

It’s probably no secret that the US Open for golf is coming up on June 15^th. For each day of the US Open, take part in our 60-foot putt contest, taking place from June 15^th- June 18^th. The lucky putter who gets closest to the hole over the weekend will receive one month of membership to the Oaks Course for FREE!

Did your mom ever tell you that you needed to eat your vegetables? Fill up on nutritious, fresh veggies on June 19^th for National Eat Your Vegetables Day. But if you enjoy ice cream more than veggies, plan to come by on Tuesday, June 20^th for National Ice Cream Soda Day. We’ll make you an ice cream soda that transports you back to the days of the old-timey drug stores and soda jerks.

Wednesday, June 21^st marks National Daylight Appreciation Day, and we’re commemorating by offering $5.00 off any replayed rounds that day! And did you know that June 22^nd is said to be National Stupid Guy Thing Day? The specials for this day are negotiable…. If we deem that you’ve done something stupid, then you will be rewarded nicely. But on Thursday, the 22^nd only!

It’s very important to keep hydrated on the golf course, especially during the hot summer months. Stay cool on National Hydration Day by stocking up on ice cold bottles of water, on June 23^rd. Saturday, the 24^th is National Pralines Day, and we’ll be featuring some menu items at Putter’s on this day that are so good, you may go nuts! And on June 25^th, we’re excited to be having our next Fish & Play event on the course, and featuring fresh catfish on National Catfish Day. Stop by for a yummy catfish meal at Putter’s and then reel in a big one during our event. June 26^th is deemed National Chocolate Pudding Day, so we’ll also be featuring this childhood favorite at the restaurant for golfers and visitors alike. And strut in style on June 27^th at the Oaks Course for National Sunglasses Day, by receiving 20% off any pair of sunglasses in our Pro Shop.

The last three days of specials are for our tech-savvy, social media followers who exercise their thumbs as well as they do their backswing!
