Oak Hill golf course pictures from Rochester, NY.
By 1921 Oak Hill had doubled in size and had a new
clubhouse, so when the University of Rochester
proposed a land swap in 1921 it was a tough decision
for members. Oak Hill country club decided to take
the university up on their offer, and moved the club
to a 355 acre plot in nearby Pittsford. Oak Hill now
had room for two 18-hole courses. Designed by Donald
Ross, becoming the East and West Course. In 1941 the
Times-Union, a local paper, posted a $5000 purse
which attracted some of the greatest golfers in the
world, including Sam Snead, Walter Hagen, and Ben
Hogan. Sam Snead won this tournament, putting Oak
Hill on the national golf map. Several major
tournaments would be held at Oak Hill over the next
62 years.
