Frequently Asked Questions

Can I just show up and hit balls at the Oakmont driving range, or is it private?

Oakmont's practice facilities are strictly for members and their guests, or those playing a round on the championship course. Don't expect to just walk in; you'll need an invitation or a tee time to experience this hallowed ground.

What's the quality of the practice balls and hitting surfaces like at Oakmont's range?

You're hitting off pristine bentgrass tees, just like the fairways, with premium Titleist Pro V1 practice balls-no worn-out mats or limited flight balls here. It's a true extension of the championship experience, allowing you to dial in your game with confidence.

Does Oakmont offer a dedicated short game area, or is it just a driving range?

Beyond the expansive driving range, Oakmont boasts an exceptional short game area that's a masterclass in itself. You'll find multiple greens designed to replicate the course's infamous putting challenges, perfect for sharpening your chipping, pitching, and bunker play.

When is the best time of day to use Oakmont's practice facilities if I'm playing a round?
