Wayne Hills Country Club

About this course
Wayne Hills Country Club sits in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, near the village of Lyons in Wayne County. Designed by Brent Wadsworth and opened in the mid-twentieth century, the course occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of the glacially-shaped landscape between Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes proper. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and mature tree corridors that define playing corridors and frame approach shots. The layout reflects the practical design sensibilities common to regional courses of its era, with straightforward holes that reward accuracy over distance and greens that require careful reading of subtle contours. Several holes play across modest valleys or incorporate small creeks and drainage features that add strategic interest without overwhelming the average player. The property's tree-lined fairways and open sightlines create a parkland character typical of rural New York golf. Wayne Hills serves as a traditional community club for the surrounding agricultural region, offering a welcoming atmosphere for local members and visitors. The course provides a solid test of golf within a quiet, pastoral setting, and its conditioning and playability reflect the care of a membership invested in maintaining a quality facility. For golfers traveling through the Finger Lakes, it represents the kind of unpretentious, well-maintained layout that has long anchored small-town golf culture in upstate New York.

Getting there
Most visitors to Wayne Hills Country Club arrive via Greater Rochester International Airport, a straightforward forty-five-minute drive southeast through the rolling farmland and orchard country of western New York. The route traces the gentle descent from the Lake Ontario plain into the Finger Lakes region, where the landscape softens into wooded hills and quiet rural roads. As you approach Lyons, a small canal town with deep nineteenth-century roots, the final turn onto the club grounds feels like a step back into a quieter era - an unhurried arrival befitting a classic American membership club tucked into the countryside between the lakes.
