Oak Hill Country Club - West

Oak Hill Country Club’s West Course occupies the rolling, oak-studded half of the club’s 355-acre Pittsford property, just southeast of Rochester, New York. It is a private, member-owned club with two Donald Ross eighteens (East and West) and a substantial campus that includes aquatics, tennis, paddle, bowling, fitness facilities, and indoor simulators; daily life at the club extends well beyond golf. On the ground, the West presents a par-70, 6,735-yard test from the back tees, with two par fives and a set of fast, sloped greens that the club explicitly attributes to Ross. The course’s character differs from the creek-laced East: no hole crosses Allen’s Creek; instead, the West leans on heaving landforms, elevated targets and ridgelines—features that shape approaches and internal contours on several greens. While the East hosts most televised championships, the West remains an active championship venue in its own right for stroke-play rounds and is regularly embedded in large-event logistics; for the 2023 PGA Championship, for example, player practice facilities were staged on portions of the West. Members encounter a traditional parkland walk with caddies available, a Tudor-style clubhouse as the hub, and the sense—reinforced by the club’s own description—that the West’s bones remain close to what Ross left in the 1920s.
