Locust Hill Country Club sits in Pittsford, a suburb southeast of Rochester in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. The course was originally designed by Seymour Dunn and opened in the 1920s, then underwent significant redesign by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in the 1950s. Jones's work brought his characteristic strategic bunkering and green complexes to the layout, shaping the course into a test that balances shot values across varied terrain. The property features rolling topography typical of western New York, with mature tree-lined fairways and elevation changes that add dimension to club selection and approach play. Jones incorporated his preference for large, contoured greens defended by deep bunkers, requiring precision on approaches and thoughtful short game execution. The routing takes advantage of natural land movement, creating holes that play uphill, downhill, and across slopes. Locust Hill has served as a venue for regional amateur competitions and USGA qualifiers, reflecting its standing among private clubs in the Rochester area. The club maintains a traditional private membership culture common to established country clubs in the Northeast, with an emphasis on family participation and year-round social activity. The course remains a well-regarded example of Jones's mid-century redesign work in a region where his influence shaped several prominent layouts.
