Review of Oakmont Country Club

Unless you are a member, or know one, you are prob...

Unless you are a member, or know one, you are probably never going to get anywhere near here, so talking about the club is probably a waste of mine and your time. So I will limit it to a review of Oakmont and the US Open.
I have been to the last 2 (2007 and 2016). I worked the open for a member, and had to work directly with Oakmont staff. They are GREAT! Everything is over the top. Seeing how the grounds crew handled the rain on Thursday (2016), and everything that was done from parking lots and the course by Saturday was just amazing!
It's big, crowded, usually hot, and if you are lucky enough to get one of the prime bleacher seats, expect to have to sit there from dawn to dusk to keep them. Let me repeat, it's a big, hot, crowded, and very few places with shade. So if you don't like it hot, you will be very uncomfortable.
