The information below applies to all ticketed USGA Championships unless otherwise stated.

If you observe the following guidelines, your experience at all U.S. Open Championships will be a more enjoyable one:

Please stay behind gallery ropes and always follow directions of championship marshals.
Only cross fairways at designated crosswalk areas.
Be considerate of others and kneel or sit if you are in the front row of the gallery.
Stay quiet and stand still when players are about to hit or when instructed by marshals.
All mobile device volume controls must be set to silent or vibrate at all times.
To always ensure your safety, walk carefully and never run.
The U.S. Open Championship involves substantial walking on grass hills, dirt paths and other uneven surfaces. Please wear appropriate footwear such as sneakers or golf shoes.
Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
To provide protection from the sun, remember to wear sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. Please note that sunscreen in bottles and tubes 3.4 ounces or less are permitted.

In the event you witness suspicious and/or unruly behavior, please notify U.S. Open Security at (631) 353-7162.
