ROTHLAND G C

The undulating terrain of Western New York's glacial landscape creates natural amphitheaters for several holes here, where elevation changes of 40-plus feet demand precise club selection and reward those who can work the ball both ways. Tree-lined fairways carved through mature hardwoods punish wayward drives but offer multiple pin positions that separate weekend hackers from single-digit players. At under $50 for 18 holes, this public track delivers legitimate championship-caliber conditioning that rivals private clubs charging three times the green fee.
