At the U.S. Bank Championship, you can see pro golfers up close and personal. On Saturday, take in a rare acoustic set from Kurt Neumann and Sam Llanas of the BoDeans during The Evening Round. There will also be wine and beer tasting, cheese sampling, spa services and a raffle of art created on-site the day of the event. It all starts once tournament play concludes. And it’s all at one of the most scenic courses in Wisconsin – Brown Deer Park Golf Course.
Here’s a preview of the players and course as well as things you’ll want to know before you go.
Things to know

Postponement of Play/Rain Delays
It is the PGA TOUR's intent to alert spectators to dangerous weather. When inclement weather is detected within a potentially dangerous range, warnings will be broadcast on all the electronic leader boards that are located on the golf course. The intent behind these warnings is to notify spectators before play is suspended so time is given for spectators to move to a sheltered area.
Suspension of play occurs with two prolonged blasts of an air horn. All attendees should take cover immediately. Resumption of play occurs with two short blasts of an air horn, repeated once.
Cameras and Photography
The PGA TOUR sets policies regarding the use of cameras at its tournaments. Please note that cameras will be permitted only during practice and Pro-Am rounds Monday-Wednesday. Cameras will not be permitted on the grounds during the Tournament Rounds, Thursday through Sunday. You may want to inform your guests of this policy in order to avoid any embarrassment.
Autograph Policy
To provide the PGA TOUR professionals with an environment free of interruptions, autographs are not allowed during tournament play. After the conclusion of play, golfers may sign autographs at their option. Please respect the players’ on-course concentration and do not ask them for autographs during their round.
