County Executive Adam Bello today announced the county’s three public golf courses will open for the season on Friday, April 14. Opening day has been named “Jim Carlucci Day” in honor of local golfing legend Jim Carlucci, who has won club championships at all county-owned golf courses: Durand Eastman, Genesee Valley and Churchville.
“Monroe County’s three affordable and accessible public golf courses add to the tremendous quality of life residents here enjoy throughout warmer months,” said County Executive Bello. “This year’s opening day pays tribute to local golf legend, Jim Carlucci, who holds club championships at all three of our courses – a remarkable and rare achievement. I encourage residents of all skill levels to take advantage of the warm weather ahead and hit the links.”
In the past year, county golf courses saw more than $1 million in improvements, including:
-
Clubhouse bathroom renovations at Genesee Valley and Churchville
-
A new irrigation system, landscaping and paving work at the Churchville course
-
A new pump station for irrigation at Durand Eastman
-
Infrastructure improvements in equipment and work areas
Free permits for discounted green fees throughout the season are available for seniors over 62, active military, veterans, youth under 17 and golfers with a physician-certified disability. Qualifying residents can apply for a free permit at any pro shop at each of the three county courses.
Tee times may be booked online at www.monroecountyparksgolf.com.
