Surrounded by the beautiful Bristol Mountains and located just minutes from Rochester proper, today’s feature, Lima Golf and Country Club in Lima, is one of the standard-setting facilities in all of Upstate New York. Named in consecutive years by Golf Rochester for having the best greens, friendliest staff, and for being one of the best kept golf secrets around, Lima’s two semi-private courses aren’t to be missed by any Empire State golfer.

Keeping pristine conditions and an exceptional atmosphere on one golf course is challenging enough – but the talented staff at Lima Golf and Country Club has knocked it out of the park by maintaining two truly wonderful courses in tour-caliber quality. These fantastic courses, Charleston Pines and Island Oaks, may look similar on the scorecard, but don’t be fooled: they are two distinct challenges that will test every part of your game in different ways.

Charleston Pines, rated 73.1/124 from the back set of tees, is a traditional championship-style course that requires accuracy off of the tee and proper shot execution into the greens if you want to shoot close to par on any hole. Playing a lengthy 6,952 yards from the back set of tees (of which there are five), a consistent driver and confident short game is a must here from the first tee to the 18th green.

Similarly beautiful but not quite as lengthy as its sister course, Island Oaks is no pushover either. Playing just over 6,100 yards from the back set of tees and rated 69.4/123, water is a major factor here, and often contributes to double-digit scores on some of the course’s more challenging holes. Course management is the key here, as drastic doglegs, forced carries, and numerous sand bunkers stand between you and a low score on the day.

No matter which course you play at Lima, you’ll definitely want to take a few minutes and relax in the facility's spectacular Adirondack-style clubhouse. Featuring a fully stocked pro shop, banquet facility, and a full-service restaurant cooking up all of your homemade favorites, the Lima clubhouse will help you end your day of fun in the best way possible.
