About the course

Oakmont Country Club is a private club established in 1903 by Henry Fownes in the East Hills suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Regarded as the "oldest top-ranked golf course in the United States," it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987. The course is famously bisected by the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which separates seven of its holes from the main layout. It boasts an unparalleled championship pedigree as a ten-time host of the U.S. Open, more than any other venue.

Championships hosted: U.S. Open (10 times)

Went to Oakmont for day 1 of the 3 practice rounds for the US Open and what a beautiful course!!!!!! Pristine conditions and that rough was something else. I would love to get the chance to play there but walking and watching will do for now.

What a weekend for the U.S. Open. It was a bit raining outside, but it did not matter. Seeing these players struggle made me realize I’m not alone. The volunteers were top-notch A+ five star.

Such a wonderful experience. The members should be very proud of the prestige this place brings to the game of golf.
