The Pynes Putting Course is open to Museum visitors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, from early Spring to late Fall, weather permitting. Please check with the USGA Museum for the most current status on operations of the Putting Course. Replica antique putters and balls are provided, although visitors have the option of purchasing one of these replica antique clubs for their own collection.

The Pynes Putting Course is named for Percy and Evelyn Pyne, who once resided on the property that is now Golf House, and have been long-time supporters of the USGA and its staff since the USGA relocated to New Jersey in 1972.
