Locust Hill Country Club is a championship golf club located in the Towns of Henrietta and Pittsford, New York, suburbs six miles (10 km) southeast of downtown Rochester.
Golf course
The club was founded in 1925 as a nine-hole golf course on the 89-acre (0.36 km2) Locust Hill farm of Frank Zornow in the Town of Henrietta, bordering the Town of Pittsford.
In 1927, members purchased the 52-acre (0.21 km2) Brei Farm on the south side of Jefferson Road in Pittsford, and it reopened as an 18-hole course in 1931, redesigned by golf course architect Robert Trent Jones.
This par 72 (35, 37) course is one of the country's top courses, along with Rochester's Oak Hill Country Club, and Country Club of Rochester. Despite being a relatively short course at 6,615 yards (6,049 m),[1] it has proven to be difficult year after year with tight fairways and tough greens. The course rating is 72.8 with a slope rating of 138.[2]
In 1966, a charity event was held at LHCC in which RDGA members played with stars such as Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Nicklaus drove the green on a 360-yard (329 m) par 4 and two-putted for birdie, while Palmer holed out for eagle on the 466-yard (426 m) eighth hole. Both stated their love for the course after their rounds[citation needed].
