Oak Hill Country Club is this batch's single most consequential adjudication case, exactly as the research brief anticipated. Its championship resume is essentially unmatched outside a handful of the platform's other destination-exception clubs: three U.S. Opens (1956, 1968, 1989), the 1995 Ryder Cup, two U.S. Senior PGA Championships (2008, 2019), the 1984 U.S. Senior Open, and four PGA Championships to date (1980, 2003, 2013, and 2023 -- when Brooks Koepka won), with a fifth PGA Championship formally announced for 2035 and a third U.S. Amateur hosting (after 1949 and 1998) announced for 2027. Both 36-hole courses (East and West) were designed by Donald Ross, and the club's facilities are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The research brief specifically instructed against accepting discovery's light-pass conclusion that no residential-integration prong exists without independent verification -- this full-depth pass repeated and extended that search specifically. The result: no bundled or developer-run residential community was found. The one on-property addition genuinely worth weighing was The Cottages at Oak Hill, two five-star-quality guest cottages that opened in spring 2022 sleeping up to eight -- but these are explicitly short-stay lodging for members and their guests around golf outings, social events, and weddings, not a homeownership product, and nothing in club materials, local reporting, or real-estate coverage describes them, or any other on-property structure, as available for purchase or as conferring any residential status. General real-estate-portal pages listing homes 'near Oak Hill Country Club' in Pittsford reflect ordinary proximity marketing common to any prestigious address, not a formal bundled community. Oak Hill therefore qualifies on national significance alone, as a destination_exception, with the residential-integration prong genuinely and confirmedly absent -- not merely unconfirmed.
