Created in 1923, Monroe Golf Club is a private club in Rochester, Western New York. The club’s golf course was designed by Donald Ross and has hosted numerous championships over the past 90 years including the New York State Men’s Amateur and the Monroe Invitational Championship.
“Built concurrently with Oak Hill’s two 18’s, the neighboring Monroe is more of a family orientated club and not nearly as busy”, wrote Tom Doak in The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses – Volume 3, “but it’s the best piece of ground for golf in Rochester. It’s a wonderful routing; from a corner clubhouse location, most of the front nine plays on a north-and-south orientation and the back nine more east-and-west, but the two finishing holes and the sensational par-4 17th play diagonally back to the north-west corner.”
