The Pre Tee Beer Tasting
Summer Friday will begin with a pre- tee beer tasting including seasonal, limited edition and new releases of Brewery Ommegang’s delicious NYS craft beer.
When Is It
Friday September 9th. Play 9 or 18 holes. Pre-tee beer tasting with Brewery Ommegang begins at 1:15pm, shotgun start at 2pm. For golfers playing 9 holes, the tee time is 5pm.
Where Is It
We selected FarView Golf Course for a few reasons. One is, it has been a favorite on the A-List traveling league schedule and a course many in our area have never played or haven’t played often. We love introducing golfers to FarView. Its just 20 min. from Rochester and has scenic views of the Genesee Valley, a storied history (they found one of the most complete skeletons of a Mastodon while building the course which is now on display at the RMSC). Think about that while you are out on the course.
