Rochester at Rochester Golf & Country Club

Rochester Golf & Country Club stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of classic, member-driven golf in southern Minnesota. Set amongst the rolling farmland on the outskirts of Rochester, the course favors a strategic approach over brute power, rewarding players who can navigate its subtle contours.

Originally designed by Tom Bendelow in the early 20th century, the parkland-style layout has matured gracefully, its tree-lined fairways presenting both challenge and visual appeal. While lacking the national recognition of some, Rochester Golf & Country Club is beloved locally, and regionally, where the course’s undulating greens and thoughtfully placed hazards make it a compelling test for golfers of all abilities. The course has played host to numerous state and regional amateur events.

Beyond the golf, the club is known for its strong sense of community, attracting a diverse membership deeply rooted in the Rochester area. This is a course where golf is the main focus, but member fellowship and camaraderie are appreciated. The club is known for its Friday Fish Fry, a generations old tradition that brings the club together and often extends the day well beyond the round.
