If Rochester is where you want to play, Mill Creek and Durand Eastman are beautiful courses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's talk every now and again that the land is too valuable to use as a golf course. Clublink (the owners) and Oakville were arguing in court last August as to final disposition of the land.

dhg Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Played Tri-County in Forestville last summer for first time. I thought it was a really good course, especially for the money. Really like Ivy Ridge too. On the flip side, I hated Arrowhead. Wasn't particularly well maintained and was way overpriced. Rochester area has a lot of great courses. Blue Herron Hills and Ravenwood are pretty nice. Edited March 4, 2021 by dhg Misspelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockpile233 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I personally don’t think you can match Glen Oak as far as bang for your buck goes with public courses. I play there a couple times per week during the season. I also love Hickory Stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play there a couple times per week during the season. I also love Hickory Stick. I haven't played Glen Oak a lot in a long time. It always seemed like a great course as long as they don't over water it. It seemed to get a bit "lush" for my tastes. One course I haven't seen mentioned -- and I haven't been on it since I was a kid -- is Whirlpool. I remember that to be pretty good and well maintained. Also, Delaware Park was the toughest public course around in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going further out that way, I was in an after work league at Dande Farms a few years back and I grew to enjoy that course. Try to get there at least one Saturday morning in the summer.

CountDorkula Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Buffalo Tournament club has all the right pieces to be a great course. Every time I play there though it is in such bad shape. Im talking weeds a foot high in the fairway type rough shape. But they just built that crazy large new clubhouse. I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
