St. John Fisher/ Ravenwood -
Rochester,
NY
Rochester’s newest tradition in golf excellence features an 18-hole championship layout with five sets of tees to challenge every level of golfer, a state of the art practice facility, and full service golf shop. Ravenwood was selected by Golf Digest as the #5 'Best New Upscale Public' golf course in America in 2003. It was the host site of 2004 U.S. Open Qualifier and of the 2003 New York State Amateur Championship. Ravenwood was also named by Golf Magazine as one of the 'Top 35' new courses to open in 2002. The impeccably manicured golf course, premium clubhouse facility and service-oriented staff make Ravenwood an ideal location for a Nike Golf Camp.
