Rochester women new to golf? There is still some room in our beginners league!

Club House at Champion Hills Golf Club

The Champion Hills club house.

Does it get any better than this? Nine-hole fun scramble with great wine and food — at Rochester’s newest private golf course?

We think not!

Let’s start with the course.

Champion Hills Country Club

Champion Hills County Club is a beautiful, 9-hole private golf course that just opened this spring. It was designed by Golf Course Architect Barry L. Jordan, who, according to the Champion Hills website, “believes that a golf course that exhibits sound design principles, compositional beauty, and thrilling golf, is the product of an Architect’s ability to arrange its features and forms in both an artistic and functional manner.”

What better setting for a round of golf? Our Wine & Nine will feature a nine-hole fun scramble. Carts are included with the registration fee.

You’ll be one of the first in the Rochester area to play this great new course!

Our event will also feature food, wine, and prizes.

Are you ready?

Mark your calendar! This event is Friday, May 21. Tee-off is at 5:00, registration begins at 4:30 pm. Champion Hills is located at 675 Championship Dr. Victor, NY.

The cost is $50 to EWGA members and $60 to non-members.

Deadline for registration is May 13, so download your registration form here today.
