Oakland Hills' narrative weaves a tale of evolution and restoration. Originally designed by Donald Ross in 1918, it underwent significant changes by Robert Trent Jones for the 1951 U.S. Open, garnering mixed reviews. In 2019, Gil Hanse led a restoration, reclaiming Ross's essence by expanding greens, removing trees, and relocating bunkers. While the tree count may have dwindled, boasting six US Opens and a Ryder Cup, the South course demands reverence and respect. On the South course, Hanse's restoration honored Ross's legacy, with challenging greens and strategic bunkering, offering a fair yet demanding test. The course's routing, a blend of difficulty and respite, promises an exhilarating golfing experience. Come enjoy a round at a course that many would consider a “beast” of a course, while enjoying a location that has been named the host of the 2034 and 2051 U.S. Open tournament.
