I’ve found that both Ravenwood and Blue Grass have really competitive twilight rates. Sometimes they’re less than half the normal fee, which is perfect for a quick round after work!
Don’t forget about discounts for military and seniors! Many courses in Rochester offer special rates that can help make golf more accessible.

Exactly! Plus, if you visit during the weekdays, the rates tend to be even lower, especially at public courses. It’s a great way to get in a round without breaking the bank.

I’ve heard Durand Eastman also has some nice amenities like a restaurant and a driving range. Worth considering when budgeting your trip!
That’s a good tip! I appreciate a course that has solid food options for after the round. Anyone tried the food there?

The food at Durand is awesome! I once had their burgers, and they were surprisingly good for a public course. Eating there adds a nice touch to the day!
Pricing can vary quite a bit depending on the season, right? Has anyone noticed any particular courses increase prices dramatically as summer approaches?
Yes! I’ve noticed that the peak season seems to drive rates up significantly. I think we should just enjoy some off-peak rounds while we can!
I like to think of golf as a ‘pay to play’ situation. But sometimes it feels like I’m paying more than just green fees! Anyone else feel that way? Haha!
Haha, so true! But I guess if it keeps us out on the course, it’s worth every penny!

I just hope that in these economic times, the courses keep their prices reasonable. It’s tough out here for the weekend warriors!
Absolutely, Haley! Plus, sometimes the cheaper courses have the best surprises. Quality and value can vary, so be open-minded!
Has anyone ever tried looking into vouchers or online deals? Sites like Groupon occasionally have discounts for local courses that could help save a bit.
I highly recommend Durand Eastman Golf Course. It’s not too difficult, with beautiful scenery overlooking the lake. The course is well maintained and offers a nice challenge for all skill levels.

Durand is great! But have you tried the Locust Hill Country Club? It has fantastic facilities, and the clubhouse is top-notch!
I find Highland Park Golf Course to be a mixed bag. While the setting is picturesque with lots of trees, it can be quite challenging for beginners. The social atmosphere is nice, though!
Exactly! It’s a beautiful course, but for those just starting out, it might be frustrating. I’d suggest checking out Irondequoit Country Club for an easier course.

For driving ranges, consider the Cobblestone Creek Country Club. They have amazing practice facilities, and the course itself has a decent mix of challenges and lengths for different skill levels.
Cobblestone is excellent, but who has the best scenic views? I love a course that makes you feel like you’re in nature!
Then you can’t miss the setting at Bristol Harbour! It offers stunning views of Canandaigua Lake and is very peaceful - perfect for a relaxing round of golf.
