HISTORY:

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 U.S., including eight United States Opens, five U.S. Amateurs, three PGA Championships, and two U.S. Women’s Open.

Oakmont remains perhaps the most difficult course in North America, with 210 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 U.S. Open. Golf Digest ranks Oakmont #5 in its most recent version of America’s Top 100 courses.

H.C. Fownes Written HistoryHenry C. Fownes, who designed Oakmont as his only venture in golf course architecture, founded the club in 1903. The course has been consistently rated among the top ten courses in America and maintains a turn-of-the-century charm with all of today's contemporary amenities. Major championship have played an important role in the tradition-rich history of Oakmont Country Club, including:

* Five U.S. Amateur Championship (1919, 1925, 1938, 1969 and 2003)

* Three PGA Championships (1922, 1951 and 1978)
* Eight U.S. Opens (1927, 1935, 1953, 1962, 1973, 1983,1994 and 2007)

* Two U.S. Women's Open (1992 & 2010)
