Week of June 17, 2025
Location: MiGolf Dartington
To celebrate the 2025 US Open at Oakmont Country Club, we brought āThe Beastā to Devon. For one full week (June 9ā15), players at MiGolf Dartington took part in a virtual Nearest to the Pin Challenge on three iconic Oakmont holes ā with prizes, rivalries, and bragging rights up for grabs.
Whether you were chasing glory or just trying to beat your mates, the buzz across the bays all week long was electric.

ā³ Step Into Oakmont: Three Holes, One Challenge
Powered by our TruGolf Apogee simulators, players could log in and attempt one (or all!) of the following Nearest to the Pin challenges from the real 2025 US Open venue:
š¦ Easy ā 13th Hole (140 yards)
š§ Medium ā 6th Hole (150 yards)
š“ Hard ā 8th Hole (289 yards)
With each challenge, players had 3 shots and 3 shots only to get closest to the pin. No mulligans. No gimmicks. Just pure ball-striking against one of the worldās most fearsome courses.
š Our Champions: 2025 MiGolf US Open Winners

š Honourable Mention
Special shoutout to Big Nicho 95, who also hit 36 feet on a second try at the 13th Hole ā but as heād already bagged his prize, the win is passed on to the next closest challenger. Respect!
