This golf course isn't on the ocean like pebble beach or a dunes style like pacific dunes. It's a old fashioned beautiful course. Out of all the tree line courses I've played, this one is probably my favorite. Very challenging so beware, it's called the monter for a reason. Extremely well maintained and the greens are extremely fast.
I went to the last Ryder's cup here. Facilities were great, despite the rain...a classic Club, beautiful with great history!
The clubhouse, the memorabilia, and the courses themselves take you back in time. A great historical place in the northern suburbs.
We celebrated a friend's wedding here in July, 2012. Classy place, friendly staff, well maintained golf course.
This is a members only club, so find someone and go. The main club house is very reminiscent of Old Money ... has a White House look and very stately. The two courses will challenge anyone which is why it has been host to many PGA championships including the US Open and Ryder cup.
If you're a golfer you've gotta' play OHCC given it's history, the grand clubhouse and the challenge of trying to best the pros on a pro level course. Of course, as a mid handicapper I gotta' say the course is a challenge, probably too much of a challenge for me who doesn't always stay out of trouble and is used to putting on greens that aren't pro style. The rough is deep. The greens are fast and the lines aren't usually straight in. The maintenance is meticulous. You have to play it once. After that it's up to you whether your game says come back or stay away. Of course, it's private, so you need a member to get you on.

Large undulating greens require local knowledge as well as a good eye to read the breaks. Your caddie can and should be relied upon to give you the line but you still have to hit the ball. Holes are long and it is often difficult to judge the distance to the flag because you rarely have a good view of the putting surface and the actual distance to the pin positions. Traps and water hazards make for some interesting approach shots and hamper your ability to make that par.
course was in great condition but not that challenging. Staff was rude, not helpful. Wouldn't play there again.
We were there for the members Piper Tournament.The place was breathe taking and so much history.the staff members made you fell welcome.The views were breathe taking! So much tradition!
