130-150 would be my score, I would be happy to break 120 after playing several times.

60 - 80 handicap

The rough and the greens would eat me up. If Sergio can 4 putt a green, who knows how many putts I'll need.

I would think I could shoot low 100's, but idk. I like tough courses in competition. Not for an everyday score, but i compete well on tough tracks IMO.

First, hopefully you would choose the tee box most appropriate for your handicap. Then you have to realize that the rough at Oakland Hills isn't like that everyday. And finally, you would figure in the course rating and slope, and you should come out with close to the same handicap that you are right now. That is the whole reason why the USGA came up with course ratings and slopes to even the playing field. The course rating for Oakland Hills is 76.9 and the slope is 145. So GHIN would take that into consideration when calculating your index.

So if your handicap index is a 14 then at Oakland Hills from the back tees you would be given 18 handicap strokes. I am a 0.7 I would only get one stroke. Remember your index is not how many strokes you get on every course. Your course handicap can be more or less than your index depending on how difficult the course is.
