Oakland Hills is often thought of as a tough major championship test, but playing Donald Ross’s masterpiece firsthand reveals a course that is far more dynamic than that.

The first thing that strikes you is the sheer expanse of the property and the incredible quality of the land. It features dramatic routing over massive, natural ridges with great undulations and elevation changes that influence how you play each hole.The greens are also fantastic—incredibly good qua...

The vistas and layout are wonderful. It's tough but provides run up areas and green openings that make is very playable. The best holes IMO include 2, 5, 8, 9, 11, 14, and 18. Driver is a key club here. You must hit it long and straight from the tips. I was surprised #16 which is somewhat of a signa...

After playing the South course just once I am hardly an expert on playing Oakland Hills.

I think it would take me a while to get the feel for the course, and the lines of play required.It is definitely a course that asks each of us different questions.Some of the slopes that affect you are relatively unseen from the prior shot.Multiple plays would definitely result in better scores and ...

I just loved the entire atmosphere when I played at Oakland Hills. The bunkering really caught my eye and one can easily see how this course is a true test for all skill levels. The conditioning, course layout and entire operation was as good as it gets. I was also very impressed with their caddie p...

I have not played it since the renovation but I can only imagine how much better this course is now. I cant wait to get back and play it again and this will test your entire game on each and every shot.

My return to “The Monster” for the annual Half Belt Invitational was a trip down memory lane to where my journey to see the greatest tracks around the world started 11 years ago.

The thing that stood out the most this time around was the massive scale of the place. Gil Hanse, the modern day "Open Doctor", had recently finished expertly executing his typical playbook of updating historical tournament tracks to better reflect the realities of the modern game. The most obvious ...

Firstly its very open, in fact from the 12th tee you can see nearly every hole, and visually as its so open there is not a lot of definition as there a very few trees, the condition of the course is one of the best ive played , with fairways with loads of run and immaculate walkways and greens, ther...

There is not a blade of grass out of place and the rolling hills throughout the property were very engaging. Gil Hanse did a phenomenal job restoring the course and look forward to watching The Monster host future US Opens.

In windless, sunny Detroit, we followed the steps of Player, Tiger Woods (he messed up on the water hole) and many other superstars on the hallowed turf.Our host was superb, his understandable passion for his club shone through and he and our two genial caddies helped Mrs W and me have two of the be...
