Item Description

Don’t miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy a round of golf at one of the top clubs in the world, Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa.!

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 combined USGA and PGA championships than any other course in the U.S., including nine United States Opens, five U.S. Amateurs, three PGA Championships, and two U.S. Women's Opens.

Oakmont remains perhaps the most difficult course in North America, with 175 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.

This package includes one round of golf for two players, including caddie fees and lunch at storied Oakmont Country Club, located at 1233 Hulton Road, Oakmont, PA, 15139.
