Oakland Hills Country Club is one
of the world's mainline golf courses.
Since its very beginnings in the early
1920s, Oakland Hills has made its
mark in the annals of golf history.
It was remodeled by Robert Trent Jones,
1950, 1972, 1984. It was at the 1951
US Open that it received its nickname,
"The Monster." Only two
players that year had rounds under
par. Ben Hogan's 287 total won the
Open and caused him to exclaim his
joy at having "brought this course,
this monster, to its knees."
