The 2006 US Open golf championship was held at Winged Foot Golf Club West Course in Mamaroneck, New York. This was the fifth US Open golf tournament to have been played at Winged Foot Golf Club. In 1974 the US Open was played here and was known as “The Massacre at Winged Foot” in reference to Hale Irwin's surprising win with a score of seven over par.

Winged Foot Golf Club also held the US Open in 1929 and 1959, as well as in 1984. It was then 12 years until the venue hosted the US Open again - in 2006. The 2006 US Open was the 106th US Open, and was played from June 15 to June 18, 2006.
