Stafford Country Club

1921 Walter J. Travis design little changed from the original layout. Shortly after Stafford CC opened, Walter Hagen declared the course “second to none, and worthy of the interest of its members for years to come”. Subsequent visits by professionals such as Gene Sarazen, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, and Julie Inkster brought similar acclaim.<br><br> Over the years, there have been few alterations to the original Travis course. In the early 1930’s, minor renovations were completed under the direction of noted architects Robert Trent Jones and Stanley Thompson. A golf course master plan was developed in the late 1990&#8242;s in order to assure that improvements to the course adhered to the character of the classic Travis design. Implementation of the master plan began in 1999 with a complete bunker restoration and renovation.<br><br> Stafford has hosted numerous top-level golf tournaments through the years, including both Men’s and Women’s New York State Amateur Championships, the New York State Senior Men’s Championship, and the Rochester District Men’s and Women’s Championships. - courtesy www.staffordcc.com
