About the Club
Since opening in 1987, Blue Heron has been a standout in the Rochester golf scene. With insights from golf legend Jack Nicklaus, the course was crafted to challenge players with its strategic layout and unique design—no two holes run parallel.
Fully open to the public, Blue Heron Golf Club continues its tradition of great golf, welcoming players to experience a course shaped by legends. Conveniently located just east of Rochester, Blue Heron offers the perfect blend of championship golf and scenic beauty.
Under new ownership the Club house was completely re-modeled in 2025. Blue Heron Golf Club historically has been an 18 hole golf course, starting in 2026 Blue Heron is transitioning to a 9 hole golf course.
