Frequently Asked Questions

The U.S. Open construction process is organized by the USGA and typically takes three months to complete. Infrastructure will begin being delivered in late February with the construction of temporary U.S. Open facilities immediately following. Construction and support personnel will increase in the weeks leading up to the championship as more contracted vendors and suppliers arrive on-site to focus on their respective operations. Subject to weather, some days may require shorter or longer hours based on the work that needs to be accomplished according to construction timelines.

The USGA is working with various Town of Southampton and Suffolk County departments, among other respective jurisdiction agencies, to ensure all operational facets are up to prevailing codes and regulations and appropriate permits are secured.

As construction and vendor activity begins increasing in mid-March, it is anticipated there will be added daytime noise around the championship site. In the weeks leading up to the championship, the construction hours of operation will steadily increase.

• March 7:00am-5:00pm
• April 7:00am-6:30pm
• May 7:00am-7:00pm
• June 1-12 6:00am-9:00pm (for final preparations)

During the week of the U.S. Open (June 15-21), the USGA, Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, its suppliers, public safety, and law enforcement partners will conduct a coordinated and thorough U.S. Open overnight servicing and restocking program that will take place between the hours of 9:00pm and 5:00am. Recognizing deliveries will not be able to take place during the daytime hours of play, servicing, and restocking will be completed overnight to ensure the integrity of the championship grounds and security perimeter. More information on the potential for impact on neighbors will be communicated in the spring of 2026.
