County Executive Adam Bello and Parks Director Patrick Meredith are pleased to announce the return of golf at the Monroe County Parks golf courses. Beginning Tuesday, April 6th, the golf courses at Durand Eastman, Genesee Valley and Churchville will resume operation for the 2021 golf season.
“Affordable and accessible golf is one of the many things that make the warm months in Monroe County so enjoyable,” says County Executive Bello. “I expect golf will be a popular escape for those looking to get outside and have fun in a safe and responsible manner, similar to last summer when our County golf courses saw record play. I want to commend our Parks Director Patrick Meredith, Golf Superintendent Greg Klem and all of our parks and golf course staff for their dedication to keeping our courses in good shape and thank them going the extra mile to ensure COVID-19 protocols are kept as we still fight the pandemic.”
