gherkinjuice Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Hey everyone, I'm looking for a bit of advice. I'm heading to training camp on August 8th and was wondering if anyone can suggest a nice but reasonable golf course near St. John Fisher. I'm coming in from Toronto so even something along the way. I was looking at Genesse Valley and Durand East. Any thoughts? Thanks much.
inkman Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 linky Genesee Valley is pretty good bang for the buck. I haven't been to Durand in years. Eaglevale and Shadow Pines are decent courses on the East side.
MattyT Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Actually, Fisher has a course if you're really looking for convenience. Dirt cheap. It was open during training camp last year...not sure about this year. You better hit it straight because it's really narrow. Lots of trees. Probably the closest to Fisher, Genesee is a wide open public course (key word being *public*) that is pretty straight forward if you just want to whack the ball around. It can get a little crowded sometimes. Durand is a tale of two 9s. One side, near the clubhouse, is well designed. The other 9 may be well designed, but its often obscured by a foot of water. You might want to call ahead...it was closed last year because most of it was unplayable. I actually played that 9 the year before and it smelled like a toilet. If the trip north to go to Durand wasn't too much, then it might be worth the extra 10 minutes west to go to Lakeshore CC.

Shadow lake in rochester was one of my favorites sorry didnt play alot of golf when I lived in rochester.
gherkinjuice Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 Thanks for the help guys. I'll check out Lakeshore. I'd prefer an 18 hole course and St. John Fisher is only 9. But we'll see. Thanks again.
