Explore this National Historic Landmark golf course and clubhouse that has hosted 21 national championships featuring eight U.S. Open Championships since its opening in 1903. (June 2016 will be a record ninth U.S. Open for Oakmont Country Club.) The Country Club is located at 1233 Hulton Road, Oakmont, PA, 15139.
A golf historian will lead participants through the handsomely preserved 112-year-old clubhouse to view a wealth of architectural features, historic photographs, memorabilia, early 1900s golf equipment, championship trophies, and the original men’s locker room.
Weather permitting, participants will also tour the legendary “inland links” golf course and see first-hand the extraordinary vistas, narrow fairways, iconic “church pews,” and some of the other 200-plus sculpted sand bunkers.
At the conclusion of the tour, participants may test their putting skills on one of the world-famous Oakmont putting surfaces and browse through the selection of apparel and equipment in the renowned Golf Shop.
