About Oakland Hills Country Club

Ross's original routing through rolling Michigan terrain created natural drama that Jones Sr. amplified with tougher bunkering and narrowed landing areas. The course rewards thoughtful strategy while punishing aggressive play, with green complexes that showcase Ross's understanding of approach shot psychology. Oakland Hills succeeds as both a strategic golf course and championship venue, maintaining Ross's architectural integrity while providing stern tests for the world's best players.
