Ugly AF No trees, no water, but a freeway runs through it? Why?

Looks like the backyard of an office park

I-76 cutting through it adds to the office park vibe.

I keep looking for the "DO NOT MOW: WILDFLOWERS" sign

It looks like the median of the road next to my house

I can’t decide if I’m enjoying watching the course humble the golfers and make them look like me playing my local course or if I want to see guys gripping and ripping, sticking it close, and posting crazy low numbers.

As a resident, you have accurately described the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area.

Thank you! I can't remember a course without a single photogenic spot on it.

This is like saying Orval Trappist Ale is a shitty beer because it lacks intense hop bitterness or that Rickwood Field in Birmingham is ugly because it lacks luxury boxes. You’re better than this!

This is a Trumpian take, Drew. Oakmont is an architectural wonder that has challenged the world’s best golfers for more than a century. It lacks the man-made tricks of TPC-style courses because it was modeled on the great links courses in the UK and built without modern machinery.
