Deep Dive: Oakmont

Today we’re diving deep into this year’s U.S. Open venue, Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. First, Garrett Morrison speaks with David Moore, Curator of Collections at Oakmont, about the early history of the club. Then Garrett sits down with Fried Egg Golf staff writer Joseph LaMagna to dig into the details of Oakmont’s architecture. They talk about the course’s topography, routing, underlying design philosophy, greens, hazards, aesthetics, and more. They also touch on the club’s controversial tree-removal program, Gil Hanse’s recent renovation work, and the kind of test that the course will administer to the pros. Garrett and Joseph wrap up by discussing a few specific holes to watch at the U.S. Open.
