Last month gave nothing but bad memories for the Oakland Hills Golf Club. After a fire destroyed the multi-storied clubhouse, USGA has brought good news for them. The Club is selected as the host for the U. S. Open not for one but two years!

While the golf fans were happy to hear the news, they were surprised to know how long would they have to wait to watch the U. S. Open at the Oakland Hills Club. After all, the USGA has chosen the Golf Club as the host of the Open for the years 2034 and 2051. 

The former golf writer of Golf Channel Will Gray was quick enough to notice this and posted it on his Twitter. “USGA announces two @usopengolf heading to Oakland Hills: 2034 and 2051,” he tweeted. “Do we really need to be booking these things 30 years in advance?”

2034 would be the 7th time the Oakland Hills would host the event since its inception. Apart from the U. S. Open, the Golf Club has hosted many professional and amateur championships. However, a fire that spread due to an accident burned down the clubhouse into ashes. According to the police officials, the Club lost close to $80 million because of it. 

The USGA to make more memories at the Oakland Hills

The fire had burned down a lot of memories at the Golf Club, along with the clubhouse. And the Golf Association wants to create more memories at the Club with the 2034 and 2051 U. S. Open.
