Oakmont Country Club "Tough but Fair" Oakmont is a picturesque layout in the foothills of Glendale with lovely mountain views. The course is an old-style country club layout which rewards well planned out shotmaking. The greens are usually very fast and reward players for being below the hole.
The Pac-10 Conference Championship was held at Oakmont in 2003 and only two players broke par (288) in a field of 50. The players found the par 3's particularly challenging.
The greens are very well protected with sand bunkers and the fairways are heavily tree-lined.
Best time to play Oakmont is in the spring and fall.
I find the twelfth hole to be the most challenging. It is a 420 yard par four, uphill and terraced. The green is long and narrow, two-tiered and protected by a large bunker on the right and a drop-off hill and trees on the left. ---Alan Amitin, Los Angeles, CA

Sleepy Hollow Country Club - Eighteen Hole Course "Architect" It should be mentioned that the course was originally designed by Charles Blair MacDonald. So it is a MacDonald course...not a Tillinghast course. ---Sebonac, Bedford, NY
WestWinds Golf Club "Westwinds - A shot makers course" Bring every club in your bag and put your thinking cap on before coming to this course. Best bet is to go out with a member or get a yardage book and stay on track for a 4 hour round. Best quote out on the golf course - "I'll either play over you, around you or through you, you take your pick." ---Showbiz, Maryland, USA
