The wait, which can start at 3 or 4 in the morning, is legendary, as are the stories about trying to crack through on the phone reservation system. And they're so worth it.
Most U.S. Open courses – the Black hosted the 2009 and 2002 U.S. Open - are not accessible for the public but this one is and for a more than reasonable price.
The par-4 15, par-4 16, par-3 17 and par-4 18 comprise one of the best finishing stretches you'll find anywhere. And the famous sign, located just behind the first tee, proclaiming the course's difficulty is still there. It's worth a snapshot, if nothing else.
