BRAEMAR COUNTRY CLUB

The Donald Ross routing through this rolling Rochester-area terrain delivers everything you'd expect from the master architect's 1920s work—strategic bunkering that punishes wayward shots and greens that reward precise approach play. Mature hardwoods frame fairways that demand course management over brute force, with several holes requiring layup shots to avoid crossing hazards at awkward yardages. The par-3 seventh plays downhill to a heavily contoured green that's been breaking hearts and lowering handicaps for nearly a century.
