Monroe Golf Club

Monroe Golf Club

Monroe Golf Club is a Donald Ross designed course in the Town of Pittsford, Monroe County, New York, near Rochester. It is home to the annual Monroe Invitational Tournament, a highly regarded amateur event.

Monroe Golf Club was recently ranked #96 in Golf Week's 2011 Top 100 Classic Golf Course National Ranking.

MGC is very nearby the well known Oak Hill Country Club, also a Donald Ross design in Pittsford.

In the semi-finals of the 1993 Monroe Invitational Championship, 17 year old Tiger Woods hit a miraculous low, rising cut four iron that sliced some 70 yards under, around and over the maples left of the fairway. The ball traveled 210 yards to just 8 feet from the hole. Tom Creavy made 3, Woods a 4, and Creavy went on to win the match and the 1993 MIC Championship that year.

Woods' match play loss at Monroe was his only match play loss over a five year period beginning with his three consecutive U.S. Junior Amateurs and ending with his three consecutive U.S. Amateurs.
