About
Oakland Hills Country Club
When the South Course
of Oakland Hills was formally opened on July 13, 1918,
it already enjoyed a certain degree of prestige. After
all, the course was designed by the foremost golf course
architect of his day - Donald Ross and the Club had
engaged, as its first professional - Walter Hagen who
had already won the United States Open.
Oakland Hills' South Course is now world-renowned and is
consistently picked among the top ten tests of golf in
the United States and, indeed, the world. Its reputation
is well earned.
No stranger to Major Championship golf, Oakland Hills as
already hosted 10 Major Championships.
Although many tournaments have been held throughout the
years at Oakland Hills, the one which gave the course
its greatest reputation as "The Monster" was the 1951
Open. Ben Hogan won with a total of 287 by shooting a
final round 67.
