I agree with UCCF. The Olympic Club will not come up no matter how many variations of the venue that I try. Please check to see if there is an error in how the game was created, please. Thanks!

Edit on my last repsonse: I was just able to enter the olympic club. The glitch must be fixed UCCF.

Shouldn't just "Olympic" be able to work? And also maybe just "Chicago" for the Chicago Golf Club. I got them both, but it took me by surprise when just the main words weren't enough.

chicago golf club is literally 2 minutes from my house, very old and historic place.

oops - guess my comment above was ambiguous, as there are lots of #4s (as in 4 times played). obviously, I meant the #1 guessed answer, which is guessed more than twice as often as the #2 guessed answer.

@sdgbib21 No Hazeltine has only hosted the US Open twice(70&91)possibly you're confused as it had 2002 pga championship and hosts this years pga as well

@sdgbib21 - You are probably confused by the fact that the 1916 Open was held at Minikahda Club which was redeveloped into Hazeltine in 1962.

The Hazeltine wikipedia page has 3 listed, including 1916. But that's incorrect because the course opened in the early 60s. If you go to the US Open page, it says the 1916 tournament was held at The Minikahda Club near Minneapolis.

I agree with those who say the first word should be accepted for Olympic and Chicago. I always hear it as just Olympic just like I hear Winged foot and Oakmont. Nobody refers to it as Winged Foot golf club. Why do we need to put Olympic Club? I can understand needing Shinnecock Hills, even though I forgot that it was the full name.

Chicago was the first 18-hole course in the US.

It definitely should accept Olympic. I can see how it would not accept Chicago, even though I would let it. But, come on. Everybody knows it as Olympic.

I love this quiz but the inconsistency in how to put in course names as some accept just the name and others you had to add the country club or golf club. These courses are storied and should all be accepted by first name basis.

It accepted oakmont, but not congressional or chicago? Consistency needs to be a part of this quiz.
