We hope your time spent at Oak Hill is enjoyable. The Club is proud to maintain its reputation as a world-class country club by sustaining its traditions and commitment to excellence for the benefit of its members, their families, guests, and the Greater Rochester community.

From the moment you pull onto Chapin Way our staff is committed to exceeding your expectations. The following suggestions and guidelines are to help ensure you get the most out of your Oak Hill experience.

Bag Drop: In order to provide you with the best service possible, please follow the signs and use the bag drop. Our staff will be happy to assist with your clubs and shoes. You will be escorted to the Golf Shop where the staff will assist in getting you to the appropriate locker room.

Locker Room Facilities: As our guest, we will provide a locker for your use. You are strongly encouraged to change your shoes in the locker room. Our Golf Shop staff and locker room attendants are ready and willing to assist you in any way possible.

All succeeding foursomes are expected to stay in contact with the foursome ahead of them. Be prepared to play at all times and feel free to play ready golf.
