Oakland Hills Country Club (South)

Oakland Hills Country Club (South) is a fiercely private club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. It peaks in summer.

There's no walk-up access here; a member or reciprocal invitation is the only way in. Green fees aren't published — invite only. The property offers lodging close by, which shapes how we build the days around it.

Oakland Hills earned the nickname "The Monster" from Ben Hogan himself, and invite-only access keeps that reputation mostly theoretical for outside golfers. No. 34 on our list.

Summer is peak season in Michigan. Lodging sits nearby, timed around whenever access comes through.
