I’m planning to hit the greens soon and I’m curious about which public golf courses in Rochester, NY really stand out. If any of you have played at some courses around here, I’d love to get your recommendations!
What I’m Looking For:
Course Quality: Well-maintained greens and fairways
Amenities: Clubhouse, driving range, practice greens, etc.
Pricing: Affordable green fees or any deals available
Accessibility: How easy is it to book tee times?
Overall Experience: What makes your favorite course a great place to play?
Potential Courses I’ve Heard About:
Durand Eastman Golf Course: I’ve heard good things about this one, especially about the views.
Irondequoit Country Club: Is it really as good as people say for public play?
Locust Hill Country Club: I know they host tournaments, but is it friendly to everyday golfers?
Any feedback you have, stories, or personal rankings would be super helpful as I want to ensure I choose a course that’s worth the time and money. Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide!
I had a great experience at the Rochester Municipal Golf Course. It was reasonably priced and had a fun layout, perfect for a casual round with friends.
Yes, it can get busy on weekends, but the course has a nice flow. I recommend going early in the morning. You might also want to check out Genesee Valley Park; the greens are pretty good there too!
If you’re looking for affordable options, the Rochester Public Golf Courses website has a great breakdown of green fees. For example, Highland Park is nice and typically costs around $30 for 18 holes on weekends.
I totally agree! Don’t forget about membership options at places like Durand Eastman. They offer discounts for locals, which can really add up over time.
Great points! I recently learned that many courses also have twilight rates, which can save you money if you’re heading out in the late afternoon. Can anyone share experiences on which courses have the best twilight pricing?
