I'm here in Rochester and belong to
Ridgemont Country Club, Rochester, NY it's a nice private course, not too pricey. We have some big name courses here like Oak Hill where some of the PGA tournaments are held as well as Locust Hill where the Wegmans LPGA is held every year.
A few ytears ago my kids were really into golf so I decided that if I was ever going to join a private club, now would be the time. It's amazing the difference a couple years makes. Now my son is turning 18 and my daughter 16 and neither has picked up a club yet this year. They have too many other interests. It's going to kill me, but I really can't justify the expense of a private club for just me. My wife used to play when we were single and just married but after we had kids she decided that anything that resembled fun was for other people.
