Oakmont Country Club

Oakmont Country Club is a fiercely private club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. It is best from spring through fall.

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.

Oakmont is invite-only and famously unforgiving — the kind of course golfers talk about attempting more than actually attempting. That combination puts it at No. 10.

Spring through fall is the playing window. Access here is rare enough that we build the trip's timing entirely around when the invitation lands.
