Oakland Hills to host two U.S. Opens after clubhouse fire
As soon as the clubhouse is rebuilt, Oakland Hills Nation Membership will get to host a pair of U.S. Opens.
The USGA introduced on Tuesday that Oakland Hills will host the U.S. Open in 2034 and 2051, together with six different USGA championships. The announcement comes simply weeks after the historic clubhouse on the Michigan course was destroyed in a devastating hearth.
The course will even host the U.S. Ladies’s Open in 2031 and 2042.
Oakland Hills is among the most historic programs within the nation. It’s hosted six U.S. Opens, most not too long ago in 1996, which is the third-most of any course within the nation. The Detroit-area course held three PGA Championships, tied for the second-most, a pair of U.S. Amateurs and the 2004 Ryder Cup.
In in an enormous hearth. It reportedly sparked throughout development work on a patio and rapidly unfold all through the 90,000 sq. foot constructing.
No person was injured within the blaze, and firefighters had been in a position to save a big quantity of memorabilia that was contained in the 100-year-old clubhouse.
Plans to rebuild the clubhouse are already in movement, and officers anticipate it to open someday in 2024 — although not in time for the U.S. Junior Beginner that 12 months.
