About this course

Charleston Pines, the centerpiece of Lima Golf & Country Club, echoes with the echoes of Rochester’s burgeoning post-war golf scene. Built on the rolling, pastoral landscape of upstate New York, the course is characterized by its generous fairways framed by mature pines – a surprisingly forgiving layout that belies the subtle challenges woven into its design. It's not uncommon to see scores broken on the opening holes only to see them balloon on the inward nine with tighter angles and challenging green complexes. Favoring strategic positioning over brute force, Charleston Pines rewards thoughtful play with birdie opportunities, though wayward shots are often swallowed by the dense rough that borders the fairways. While not steeped in tournament history, Charleston Pines is a haven for local competition and community spirit. Generations of golfers have honed their skills on its greens, fostering a membership deeply connected to the course's traditions. The club maintains a strong regional presence thanks to its active schedule of member tournaments and events. Beyond the course itself, Lima Golf & Country Club cultivates a convivial atmosphere, drawing members from the surrounding Rochester area. Locals often remark on the tight-knit community and the club’s commitment to providing a relaxed and welcoming environment, a place where families have thrived alongside the game for decades. This is classic upstate New York golf: understated, unpretentious, and utterly dedicated to the enjoyment of the game.
