cool lil story here since i know a bunch of members, back when the us open came here a few years ago, the summer before the usga was out scouting the course to evaluate what needs to be done in order to be ready for us open play and they at the time only had the one bridge over the turnpike, the usga said in order for you (oakmont) to host this next year there would be a need for a second bridge to handle the foot traffic. They said this on the course right then as they were with the greens keeper and a few lets say wealthy members. The cost I will keep private for them but once the oakmont crew heard this they sort of looked around at each other not knowing what to say or do. then one of the oakmont member pulled out his check book, literally, and wrote a CHECK on the spot for ill over 100k not to give the cost away though it was way more than 100k and this is what allowed the us open to return to oakmont the year Dustin Johnson won.
Really! How are their standard's today's as far as pool parties go? Would you say it has increased or grew in popularity? This comment is based upon if you are still a member also becuase of the date of your original post. Thanks for any information a fellow Pennsylvania native.
Tom Smith thousands upon thousands my man. You prolly also need to be invited, you probably can't just call them and ask for a membership. Courses like this are meant for the rich and famous
To even get considered you must have connections and money. Also, you pay yearly.. depending on their budgeting (food, events, members, golfing, ground crew, etc.). So, very!

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
