Delete This Account Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Looking for a relatively inexpensive and easy public golf course I can get out on first thing tomorrow (Tuesday) morning out here in Rochester-Pittsford land. I'm staying in Brighton, so anything close to their would do, too. Don't want to drive too far and don't need some high-falutin course, because I don't have the game for it. Any thoughts, oh legion of people? jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete This Account Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Sorry - only played the "high-falutin" ones in that area. unfortunately, i'm not worthy. played Ravenswood a few times and got on to Cobblestone once, but not looking for a "links" course. and prefer walking rather than cart. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Just knock a ball around the SJF campus. They won't mind. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Shadow Lake in Webster isn't too far from SJF. They have a 9 hole executive course too. Haven't played there in years - as in >15, so can't vouch for the experience nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyT Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 SJF does have an inexpensive 9 hole course...very, very tight fairways...may not be high-falutin enough. There's also Shadow Lake and Eagle Vale which are nice. And finally, if you don't mind some crowds, Genesee Valley has a sprawling 36 holes that are maintained by the county. However their web site is SO bad that I refuse to link to it. A Google Maps search will get you an address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Come on, somebody from Oak Hill - invite JW to golf tomorrow already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 If you're in Pittsford for training camp, there's a course right down the road that I hear is pretty nice. Never played there myself, but I would imagine it's not too crowded on a weekday morning. I think it's called Oak Hill. I'd advise against wearing tshirt & jeans, just in case.

Jim in Anchorage Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I played 9 holes at bob-o-links on transit road and 20a once. 1985 I think it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delete This Account Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 oh, what a bunch of funny people. geez, and i think i asked politely, too. Oak Hill, i've played twice and despite my whopping scores both times, i can say that i parred Nos. 8 and 9 the last time i played during a media day thingy before the senior pga. thanks, though for the Shadow Lake recommendation. someone else among the media ranks also suggested that place. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a short course (2700 yds) par 35, but its challenge comes from elevated tees and/or greens. A very low-key course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delete This Account Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 just played 9 at Shadow Pines as there was a tournament at Shadow Lakes. didn't mind the course. carded a few 8's but that was mostly because of my unfamiliarity of the course -- though i did drain it in the water on 8. highlight was getting a 2 on the par-3 7. tee shot within 6 feet of the hole ... musta had my eyes closed. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we still go out to bob-o's sometimes in the summer and get drunk, because the non-golfers can hang out too there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
