Oakmont Country Club is a private club in Plum, with a small portion of it in Oakmont. Established in 1903, its golf course is the "oldest top-ranked golf course in the U.S." It was designed by architects Henry C. Fownes – his only design – and Edward Stotz of the Tudor Revival architectural style. Ranked as one of the five best golf courses in America by Golf Digest, the country club is known to have one of the toughest courses. It has hosted the U.S. Open more than any other course, with its 10th tenth scheduled in 2025.
