Oakland Hills Country Club, Championship golf course in Bloomfield Township, US.
Oakland Hills Country Club is a golf course in Bloomfield Township, Michigan that includes two full courses. The South Course winds across rolling terrain with trees lining each fairway and narrow greens that demand precise approach shots.
Two Ford Motor Company executives founded the club in 1916 to create a retreat outside Detroit. The South Course underwent a major redesign in 1950 that turned it into one of the most demanding tournament layouts in the United States.
The name comes from the rolling terrain that surrounds the property, which turns golden in autumn during tournament weeks. Members maintain a quiet tradition where athletic skill and social gathering go hand in hand.
The facility requires proper attire without denim or T-shirts on the course. Tee times are available through the administration, with early morning and late afternoon rounds often quieter.
The course carries a nickname coined by a player after a particularly difficult tournament in 1951. The bunkers were positioned to force even experienced golfers into unusual shot angles.
