Golf

Consistently regarded as one of the finest golf courses in Minnesota, Rochester Golf & Country Club features a 1925 A.W. Tillinghast design set across sweeping terrain that challenges and rewards every kind of player. Tillinghast's rolling hills and strategic design make every round feel like something worth playing again. We honor that legacy by pairing a world-class classic layout with the most progressive golf programming in Southern Minnesota. But the course is only part of what awaits you here.

A course worth playing. A Club worth joining.

"A round of golf should present 18 inspirations. Every hole must have individuality."

Improve at our World-Class Practice Facilities
Completely renovated in 2018, RGCC's practice facility gives you everything you need to build a complete game. Work your short game across bunkers, a dedicated chipping and pitching green, and a 12,000 square-foot putting surface, or take on the full swing on our expansive driving range. It's one of the finest practice environments in the region, and it's yours as a member.

Play Golf All year
RGCC's TrackMan indoor simulators deliver an experience that rivals playing outdoors. TrackMan's dual radar and camera system produces the most accurate ball and club data available, and it comes with access to more than 260 courses from around the world. Play a virtual round at Pebble Beach in January, challenge a friend to closest-to-the-pin, or use the range modes to zero in on a swing change. Book your sessions through our convenient app and keep your skills sharp, even in the winter.

The Right Pro For You
RGCC's instruction program goes deeper than a typical lesson. Our staff uses a comprehensive suite of teaching technology, including TrackMan, BodiTrak, TPI, and Aimpoint, to analyze your swing, movement patterns, and overall athletic profile. Every recommendation we make is grounded in data, not guesswork. Private lessons, group clinics, and multi-week programs are available throughout the season. Contact the Pro Shop, and we'll connect you with the instructor whose approach best fits your game and your goals.

Growing the Next Generation
RGCC's junior programs welcome young players starting at age three. From first-time introductions to the game to competitive development tracks for juniors chasing tournament results, every program is designed to build real skill alongside a genuine love for golf that lasts. There's a place at RGCC for every young player and their family.

Compete in Tournaments throughout the Season
The history of competition at RGCC spans the decades. The Club's Member-Member tournament is a three-day special event that has been played for more than a century. The Member-Guest tournament is such a popular event for members to bring friends and family to enjoy the course, the camaraderie, and the fun that we had to add another in the fall! In addition, various men's, women's, and evening leagues are available throughout the season, and are a great way to meet new people and build community through golf. Welcome to all, these tournaments are a great way to stay engaged, compete, and test your game.
