Oakmont Country Club
Add A Review
Few venues in the world of golf have the championship tradition of Oakmont. Introduced in 1903 by designer Henry Fownes, Oakmont Country Club has hosted more major Championships than any other course in the US, including seven United States Opens, five US Amateurs, three PGA Championships, and one US Women’s Open.
Oakmont remains perhaps the most difficult course in North America, with 180 deep bunkers (personified by the Church Pews), hard and slick greens that slope away from the player, and tight fairways requiring the utmost precision. Oakmont was the site of “the greatest round of the 20th century”: Johnny Miller’s final round 63 at the 1973 US Open. Golf Digest ranks Oakmont #5 in its most recent version of America’s Top 100 courses.
