Oakland Hills Country Club North Course
Bloomfield Hills, MI • Private
Overview
Overshadowed by the South course, which has hosted over a dozen major championships, the Donald Ross designed North course shares many features with The Monster, albeit more subtle. The greens have plenty of movement and are often guarded by deep bunkers, as they are on the South. The back nine has a nice variety of holes, including the reachable par-5 12th with a green surrounded by a railroad tie-lined water hazard, the drivable par-4 15th, and the long par-4 17th, with a dramatically tumbling fairway. The course was used alongside the South during stroke play at the 2016 U.S. Amateur.

“Oakland Hills is a historic American place of golf. All parts are outstanding and with a trip to the South Course, in addition to the North, make for a 5 star destination."

“The ambiance here is hard to beat. The clubhouse is amazing. The South course is better and holds more of the tradition, but the North stands its ground and is very very comparable. I urge you to play this course. Definitely deserves mention for being potentially in the top 10 in Michigan!"
