What Andrew Greene has done here is nothing short of remarkable

[johnnymossville]

This is a beautiful course. Would love to have the honor of playing a course like this one day. Just stunning, It will look great on TV as well.

My family joined Oak Hill in 1963 and watched as the "prominent member", JR Williams over planted groves of trees to hide the beauty of Oak Hill. Then the Hoff brothers hired George Fazio to destroy the East course with 4 new terrible holes. Thank goodness for Andrew Green and Jeff Corcoran for restoring Oak Hill to it's true glory!

I can’t put into words how excited I am to see the reimagined Oak Hill in action. Telling everyone I can to watch this video and see how great it looks.

Has to be one of the best restorations of all time

Had the honor of playing Oak Hill East a couple times, the videos/pics don't do it justice it is an unbelievable course. Greens are more elevated than they appear and hard to get a ball to stick, a true test for even the best golfers in the world.

Was lucky enough to play Oak Hill just a couple weeks after the PGA. Without a doubt the most challenging yet spectacular course I have ever played. This course will test every aspect of your game as you need to play every shot nearly perfect just to scrape away with a par. Fairways are incredibly narrow and the rough was so thick and damp it was like hitting the ball out of a pool of maple syrup. Bunkers strategically placed just outside of common aiming points around greens as well as fairways off the tee. Not to mention these bunkers are all DEEP and truly penalizing. Greens were FAST and had crazy slope. You can’t tell in the video but the backside of many of these greens (2 and 14 were most notable) drop off into somewhat of a ditch making a recovery shot nearly impossible hitting out of the rough to a downhill slope. After playing here there’s no wonder why so many of the best golfers in the world are consistently shooting over par. This video truly does not do this course justice as to how truly challenging this course is.

Weather in Rochester, NY in May can either be low 70's and nice or 40's/ 50's and rainy, windy and possible snow

[andrewkleinhans]

Incredible looking course and the renovations look absolutely fantastic. Can’t wait to see how the PGA plays out.

I grew up in Rochester and attended the Ryder Cup and the Senior PGA. its amazing how different the front nine looks with all of the trees removed and Bunkering. The Donald Ross masterpiece is back!

[ScottMelby]

Ross was amazing! Props to Andrew Green for restoring it!

[mikewenzl]

That. Looks. Hard. I hope the winner is over par this year

[grungeallday]

3rd hole is my favorite. Unreal bunkering guarding an already ridiculously hard green to hit.

[lvond]

Gonna be a fun PGA. The redesign looks great.

[coreymoore]

Nothing quite like a Ross, Andrew Greene is a master of his craft. So thoughtful in his approach, and gets it right every single time.

Amazing course and even better history. The travesty is the fact that it's nearly impossible to play unless you have wicked deap pockets. The biggest issue confounding the great courses on the list of great courses. You can't play them. I understand the position of being a private club. I have no issues paying to play. Most of them this one included I couldn't. These great courses could make a lot of money by having days of public play. It wouldn't have to be every day. Just providing an opportunity for the average Joe to play would go a long way.
