Oakmont Country Club

The course has always been ranked as one of the five best by Golf Digest 100 Greatest Golf Courses in America. In 2007 Oakmont was placed in 5th by the magazine.

It is one of only a few courses ranked every year in the top ten of the publication's history.

The top 50 toughest courses ranks Oakmont also at #5, while GolfLink.com ranks it at #3 overall.

It is widely considered to have the world's fastest and smoothest greens, with more tilt than most any other course in the world.

For the 2007 U.S. Open, the USGA has instructed Oakmont to roll the greens at a speed of 13–13.5 ft on the stimpmeter, slower than its usual 15. Most American golf courses have speeds in the range of 7–12 ft.
