they hurt a classic

when you ask a consultant (gil hanse in this case) to help, its not likely they’ll tell you that you dont need it. and it didnt happen in this case. what was a wonderful wooded layout melding perfectly with its northeast surroundings has become a poor attempt at a links course in an environment ill suited for it. they’ve gone too far with tree removal, clearly dont take care of what little are left and the result is a wide open soccer pitch with some holes. theyve done this in the name of restoration to the original ross design but who cares? why cant things be improved? truth is the original ross design is still a far cry from the course today.

Classic Ross Course

While this course has been updated several times over the years it is still a classic Donald Ross layout. The conditions are first class and there are plenty of hazards to get your attention. After a few relatively short holes the course starts to show its teeth. Holes 5-7 are the Trent Jones designs, but they meld seamlessly with the rest of the course. Gil Hanse has taken out a lot of trees creating some wonderful views across the layout. The last two holes are challenging finishers. Staff were all great.

Expected in a private course

I was invited here by a member being told this was a tough course but once out there it wasn't very hard at all. I managed to get a 47 In a poorly played round. This course seemed pretty easy for a Ross designed course. But everything else was very nice fairways tee boxes and facilities were all steller and hope to be invited back again soon and would love to join this nice country club in the future

Country Club of Rochester a well-honed classic

If you get a chance to play this Donald Ross classic, by all means go for it. It is extremely well groomed and it a pretty layout with lots of old trees. The staff is what a private club staff should be: friendly, knowledgeable but not stuffy. For those who love Ross tracks, this is one you will savor. Although the victim of past renovations, the course has happily been restored to Ross's original routing and design.

Very playable for women.
