Webster Golf Club

The East Course at Webster Golf Club is a James G. Harrison design located in Webster, a suburb northeast of Rochester in upstate New York. Harrison, a regional architect active in the mid-twentieth century, designed several courses across western New York and contributed to the area's public and semi-private golf landscape during a period of expansion in the 1950s and 1960s. The East Course reflects the straightforward, playable design philosophy common to municipal and accessible clubs of that era. The course occupies relatively flat to gently rolling terrain typical of the Lake Ontario plain, with mature tree-lined fairways that define corridors and frame approach shots. The routing takes advantage of natural contours where present, and the design emphasizes accuracy and course management over pure length. Greens are moderately sized and protected by bunkers and occasional mounding, requiring solid iron play and a reliable short game. Webster Golf Club serves the local golfing community in the Rochester metropolitan area, offering an unpretentious environment for regular play and league competition. The club provides a traditional golf experience without elaborate amenities, focusing on maintaining playable conditions and a welcoming atmosphere for members and daily-fee players. The East Course remains a steady option for golfers in the region seeking accessible golf in a mature parkland setting.
