Delete This Account Posted August 2, 2010 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

Delete This Account Posted August 2, 2010 Author 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
PromoTheRobot Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Just knock a ball around the SJF campus. They won't mind. PTR
Nanker Posted August 2, 2010 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.

MattyT Posted August 3, 2010 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.
bbb Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 Come on, somebody from Oak Hill - invite JW to golf tomorrow already!
eSJayDee Posted August 3, 2010 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.
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 ...and prefer walking rather than cart. jw Yep... That would suck getting a DUI in the states!
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 I played 9 holes at bob-o-links on transit road and 20a once. 1985 I think it was.
Delete This Account Posted August 3, 2010 Author 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

It's a short course (2700 yds) par 35, but its challenge comes from elevated tees and/or greens. A very low-key course.
Delete This Account Posted August 3, 2010 Author 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
Delete This Account Posted August 3, 2010 Author Posted August 3, 2010 Did you win any money? played on my own. lost two balls, found four while searching around the pond i hit my one ball into. bingo! jw
Hossage Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 I played 9 holes at bob-o-links on transit road and 20a once. 1985 I think it was. 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.
