About this course

Perinton Golf & Country Club sits in Fairport, a village in the Rochester metropolitan area of upstate New York. The course was designed by Pat Rocco, a regional architect who worked primarily in western New York during the mid-to-late twentieth century. Rocco's designs typically reflect practical, member-focused layouts suited to the rolling terrain common to the Finger Lakes region, emphasizing playability across a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural contours of the land. The course occupies terrain characteristic of this part of Monroe County, where gentle elevation changes and mature tree corridors define the playing corridors. Fairport's proximity to the Erie Canal and its position in the glacially shaped landscape of western New York provide a setting of established woodlands and modest topographical movement. Perinton serves primarily as a private club for local membership, offering traditional country club amenities including dining and social facilities alongside its golf course. As a regional private club, Perinton functions within the broader network of Rochester-area golf facilities, catering to families and individuals seeking a consistent home course experience. The layout reflects the design priorities of its era, balancing challenge for competitive players with accessibility for recreational rounds. Specific tournament history and individual hole details are not widely documented in public sources, but the course remains a fixture of suburban golf in the Fairport community.

Getting there

The journey to Perinton Golf & Country Club begins at Rochester International Airport (ROC), situated roughly twenty minutes northwest of the club, or alternatively through Buffalo Niagara International (BUF), a ninety-minute drive west through the gentle Finger Lakes region. From either gateway, the route traces eastward through the rolling countryside of western New York, where suburban Rochester gradually yields to tree-lined roads and the quieter neighborhoods of Fairport. The final miles unfold along local roads that wind past the Erie Canal's historic path, a subtle reminder of the region's heritage, before arriving at the club's welcoming entrance in this established community just east of Rochester proper. For those with access to private aviation, Rochester's smaller facilities provide a more direct alternative to the commercial terminals, allowing a swift transition from tarmac to fairway.
