  • Oakland Hills Country Club (South Course)

    Course Type: Private

    Design Role: Redesign 2004, 2006

    Co-Designer(s): Keith Evans, Bryce Swanson

    Client Course Description

    Founded in 1916, Oakland Hills Country Club has, and will continue to play a significant role in the history of golf in the United States. Walter Hagen, five time PGA Champion, was the club's first head professional. The South Course has played host to 16 Major Championships. Some of the greatest players ever to play the game including Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Ben Hogan have competed and won on the famed South Course, also known as "The Monster". The membership is proud of the heritage of their club and consider themselves stewards of a national golf treasure.

    Designer Notes

    In the case of this venerable 'monster', we brought my father's 1951 redesign into the 21st century, yet blended our changes into his style. We added 16 championship tees that made the course 350 yards longer, and relocated and added several fairway and greenside bunkers. We narrowed most of the fairways. This work was done in preparation for the 2004 Ryder Cup and the 2008 PGA Championship.
