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

Can't travel to Pennsylvania this summer? It's all good because you can still experience the thrill of playing in the U.S. Open from your own home.

With GSPro, E6 Connect, or TGC 2019 golf simulator software, you can virtually play the iconic Oakmont Country Club, host of the 125th U.S. Open Championship from June 12-15, 2025.

The U.S. Open has been putting golfers to the test for over a century, and Oakmont is one of its toughest proving grounds. Founded in 1903, this legendary course has hosted the championship a record 10 times, with 2025 adding to that legacy.

Even if you can't make it to gorgeous North Carolina, you don't have to miss out on the fun and frustrations that golfing a major championship course brings. 

HOW CAN I PLAY OAKMONT COUNTRY CLUB ON MY GOLF SIMULATOR?

Sure, most of us will never walk Oakmont’s brutal fairways in real life, but that’s where a golf simulator comes in handy. Here’s how to find it:

• GSPro: Head to the community course library, search for "Oakmont Country Club," and download it.
• E6 Connect: Oakmont is part of E6’s premium course lineup—if your subscription includes it, just select it from the course list.
• TGC 2019: Use the search function to find a user-created version of Oakmont. Since these are community-made, quality may vary! 

Speaking of course design, did you know Carl offers a virtual course design service?
