Oakmont Country Club course breakdown
Now that we know the layout of the golf course, what else makes Oakmont Country Club a challenge?
The totality of Oakmont is difficult, making it likely the most difficult championship course in America.
The greens are incredibly fast, close to 15 on the Stimpmeter, while the fairways play smaller than their size because they are firm and run close to a 9 on the Stimpmeter.
The rough is gnarly and thick, and it's really difficult to advance the ball out of it with more than a wedge.
Good luck!
