The Pheasant Golf Links

Play a Rochester-area highlight with today’s feature: $24 for 18 Holes with Cart at The Pheasant Golf Links in Shortsville near Rochester ($48 Value. Expires October 31, 2024!)

Located just minutes from Downtown Rochester, today's feature course, The Pheasant in Shortsville, is consistently rated as one of the area's best courses. With recent improvements under the guidance of their award-winning superintendent, this incredible layout has gotten even better as of late, serving up 27 holes of exceptional golf in one of the most scenic and picturesque atmospheres you'll find anywhere. A true test for even the most skilled players, The Pheasant's multi-layered areas of difficulty will humble and inspire you as you make your way through this fantastic round of 18.

Though the course's three nines, The Pheasant, The Liberator, and The Roc, are all united by the facility's exceptional conditions and landscape, they each offer their own unique set of challenges that makes them individually formidable in their own way. The first nine, known as The Pheasant, is the most heavily wooded of the three layouts and plays 3,145 yards from the back tees. The par-4 3rd hole is the highlight challenge here, and features almost 400 yards of tight fairway leading to a well-protected green.

The second nine, aptly named The Liberator, is the shortest of the three, and features three testy par-3 challenges – two playing over 175 yards. The final nine, The Roc, is generally viewed as the course's most challenging. Playing an extremely healthy 3,600 yards from the back tees, The Roc features plenty of water that comes into play on more than half of the holes. Though all of the layouts are distinctly different, any combination of these three nines creates a truly one-of-a-kind championship playing experience unlike any other you'll find in the Empire State.

Though you'll certainly have your hands full with the three awesome courses available at The Pheasant, the facility also features tons of great amenities for your added enjoyment. The clubhouse features a fully stocked pro shop packed full of all the essentials, and the practice green offers the ideal course-like conditions to get your flat stick in shape before your tee time. No trip to The Pheasant is complete without a stop into perfect 19th hole destination for all golfers: The Tap and Stone Restaurant. Thanks to its extensive menu and relaxing atmosphere, The Tap and Stone has become a favorite of locals and visitors alike.

A fantastic course with three unique challenges, The Pheasant is a course you don't want to miss.
