How do I get to the 2028 U.S. Open?

The 2028 U.S. Open will be held at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York. Located approximately 30 miles north of New York City in Westchester County, planning your travel in advance is crucial, as the region can experience significant traffic, especially during major events.

1. By Air:

  • Nearby Major Airports:
    • John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens, NY.
    • Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in Newark, NJ.
    • LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in Queens, NY. These three major airports serve numerous domestic and international destinations. Travel time from these airports to Mamaroneck can vary significantly depending on traffic (typically 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, or more during peak times).
  • Closer Regional Airport:
    • Westchester County Airport (HPN): Located only about 12 miles from Winged Foot Golf Club in White Plains, NY, HPN offers domestic flights to major hubs such as Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Orlando, Palm Beach, Tampa, and Washington amongst other destinations. This is often the most convenient airport for access to Westchester County.

2. By Car & Parking:

  • Driving Directions: Use GPS with the correct address for Winged Foot Golf Club.
    • From New Jersey (via I-95): Take I-95 North (New England Thruway) to Exit 18A – Fenimore Road. Turn left under the bridge, go approximately 1 mile on Fenimore Road, and the Winged Foot entrance will be on your right.
    • From New York City (via Hutchinson River Parkway, North): Take the Hutchinson River Parkway North to Exit 22 (Mamaroneck Road). Make a left turn and go approximately 1 1/2 miles; the Club entrance will be on your right.
    • From Connecticut (via I-95): Take I-95 South to Exit 18A – Mamaroneck. Make a right turn onto Mamaroneck Avenue, then make a right turn onto Hoyt Avenue (right before the railroad overpass). At the end of Hoyt, make a right onto Fenimore Road, and the Winged Foot entrance will be approximately 3/4 mile on your right.
    • From Connecticut (via Merritt Parkway): Take the Merritt Parkway to Hutchinson River Parkway South to Exit 22 (Mamaroneck Road). Make a left turn and go approximately 1 1/2 miles down the road; the Club is on the right side.
    • From Westchester Airport (HPN): Take I-684 South/New York City to Hutchinson River Parkway South to Exit 22 (Mamaroneck Road). Make a left turn and go approximately 1 1/2 miles down the road; the Club is on the right side.
  • Event Parking: For major events like the U.S. Open, it’s highly unlikely that general public parking will be available directly at Winged Foot Golf Club. The USGA typically organizes official off-site parking lots with complimentary shuttle services to the course. These shuttles are often the most efficient way to access the event.
    • Recommendation: Always check the official U.S. Open website closer to the event date for specific parking locations, shuttle schedules, and any necessary parking pass purchase information. Pre-booking any required parking passes is usually essential.

3. Rideshare & Taxis:

  • Services like Uber and Lyft operate throughout Westchester County and the broader New York metropolitan area. However, during a major event, surge pricing can be significant, and designated pick-up/drop-off zones might be located a distance from the main entrance to manage traffic. Taxis are also available from airports and local towns.

4. By Public Transportation (Metro-North Railroad):

  • The Metro-North Railroad provides train service from Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan to stations in Westchester County.
  • Nearest Station: The Mamaroneck station on the New Haven Line is the closest Metro-North stop to Winged Foot Golf Club. From there, you would need to arrange for local transportation (taxi, rideshare, or event shuttles if provided by the USGA).
  • Travel Time: Train travel from Grand Central to Mamaroneck can take approximately 35-45 minutes.

Important Planning Notes:

  • Traffic: Expect significant traffic congestion on roads in and around Westchester County, particularly on weekends and around major events. Plan for extra travel time.
  • Book Early: Accommodation and transportation in the New York metropolitan area can be in high demand and expensive, especially during peak season and major events. Book flights, rental cars, and any other transport well in advance.
  • USGA Event Shuttles: Pay close attention to announcements from the USGA regarding official event shuttles from various points (e.g., Metro-North stations, official parking lots, key towns). These are often the most convenient way to get directly to the course on event days.

How do I get tickets to the 2028 U.S. Open?

Securing tickets for the U.S. Open, especially for an iconic venue like Winged Foot, requires planning well in advance due to high demand. The United States Golf Association (USGA) is the official host and primary source for tickets.

1. Official Ticketing Channels:

  • The Official U.S. Open Website: All legitimate tickets for the U.S. Open are sold directly through the official U.S. Open website or the USGA’s official ticketing partner, USGA Experiences. Always purchase directly from these official channels to ensure authenticity and avoid fraudulent tickets or inflated prices.
  • USGA Experiences: This is the USGA’s premium experience provider, offering various ticket packages that may include event access, exclusive hospitality venues, all-inclusive food & beverage, and other amenities. You can often sign up for a waitlist for future U.S. Opens through their site.

2. When Do Tickets Go On Sale?

  • The USGA typically releases U.S. Open tickets through a multi-phase process, often starting with a random drawing (lottery) for the general public, sometimes more than a year in advance of the championship.
  • Key Sale Periods:
    • Early Access/Waitlist: Many fans sign up for USGA newsletters or waitlists through the official U.S. Open and USGA Experiences websites to receive notifications about ticket releases.
    • Random Drawing/Lottery: This is often the first opportunity for the general public to secure tickets for championship days. Participants are selected randomly to purchase a limited number of tickets.
    • General Public Sale: Remaining tickets, if any, may become available for general purchase after the lottery. Hospitality packages often have a separate, earlier sales cycle.
  • Recommendation: As the 2028 U.S. Open is still some time away, your best first step is to visit the official U.S. Open website and sign up for their email list and consider joining the waitlist on USGA Experiences to be notified immediately when 2028 specific ticket information is released.

3. Types of Tickets:

  • Gallery Tickets: These are the most common tickets, providing grounds access to the course, allowing you to walk the fairways and watch play from public viewing areas and grandstands. They are available as single-day or weekly passes (Monday-Sunday).
  • Practice Round Tickets (Monday-Wednesday): These are generally less expensive and offer a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing fans to follow players during their practice rounds.
  • Hospitality Packages: For an elevated experience, premium hospitality packages (e.g., Trophy Club, 1895 Club, Champions Pavilion) offer access to climate-controlled venues with upgraded food and beverage options, live TV coverage, and exclusive amenities. These are significantly more expensive and often sell out quickly.
  • Junior & Military Policies: The USGA typically offers special ticket policies for juniors (often complimentary for younger children with a ticketed adult) and discounted options for active and retired military members. Check the official FAQ pages closer to the event for specific details.

4. Key Purchasing Tips:

  • Pricing: Ticket prices vary widely based on the day (practice vs. championship rounds), ticket type (gallery vs. hospitality), and demand. Expect prices for championship rounds to be several hundred dollars per day, with hospitality packages significantly higher.
  • Buy Early: Demand is extremely high for U.S. Open tickets. Purchasing as soon as they become available through official channels is critical.
  • Use Official Channels ONLY: To avoid scams, always buy tickets directly from the official U.S. Open website or USGA’s authorized partners. Be wary of unofficial secondary market sites as authenticity cannot be guaranteed. The USGA may operate its own official resale marketplace closer to the event.
  • Mobile Ticketing: Like many major events, the U.S. Open primarily uses mobile-only ticketing. You will likely need to download the official USGA mobile app to access and manage your tickets closer to the event date.
