Oakland Hills Country Club is a private golf club in the central United States, located in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, a suburb northwest of Detroit. It consists of two 18-hole courses designed by Donald Ross: the South Course (1918) and the North Course (1923).
Oakland Hills has hosted many prestigious professional golf tournaments throughout its history, including six U.S. Opens and three PGA Championships, the 2004 Ryder Cup and the 2002 and 2016 U.S. Amateur on its South Course.
On February 17, 2022, the main building was engulfed in flames. No injuries were reported. The clubhouse was having some flashing fixed when a blowtorch hit a section of the outside wall. The wood structure went up in flames.[11]
