Locust Hill Country Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Locust Hill Country Club is a championship golf club located in Pittsford, New York, a suburb six miles southeast of downtown Rochester, New York.
The club was founded in 1925 as a nine-hole golf course on the 89-acre Locust Hill farm of Frank Zornow in the Town of Henrietta bordering the Town of Pittsford.
In 1927, members purchased the 52-acre Brei Farm on the south side of Jefferson Road in Pittsford, and it reopened as an 18-hole course in 1931, redesigned by famous golf course architect Robert Trent Jones.
Since 1977, Locust Hill CC has been the host of the annual Wegmans LPGA tournament, one of the most popular annual events on the LPGA Tour. [The tournament was formerly known as the Bankers Trust Classic (1977-78), Sarah Coventry (1979-81), Rochester International (1982-97), and Wegmans Rochester LPGA (1998-).]
Locust Hill was the site of Nancy Lopez's fifth consecutive LPGA tournament victory in 1978, a record-setting performance.
