Join us during the month of July for “Family Golf Month”! Golf is the perfect activity for any family to enjoy together, no matter what their skill level. All Junior golfers (17 and under) play free with a paid adult or member (after 2pm on weekends/cart fees not included). So make a day of it! Call the Pro Shop to ask about club rentals and restrictions. Rochester CC also offers a variety of Junior Golf Clinics and Camps during this month, making it easy for kids of all ages to learn golf skills and etiquette.
MCDONOUGH GAMES WEEKEND
July 1st - July 4th, 2023
The Richard D. McDonough Caddie Scholarship Foundation was established in 1955 to award college scholarships to caddies who worked at New Hampshire golf clubs. In the first year of operation, the Foundation granted two scholarships totaling $1,000. The Foundation expanded its mission to aid young people to include any employee, male or female, of a New Hampshire golf course and changed its name to the Richard D. McDonough Golf Scholarship Foundation. The McDonough Foundation recently awarded $115,000 in scholarship grants, for academic year 2017-18 to 76 young men and women employed at 26 New Hampshire golf courses who are currently attending 51 colleges and universities. With these most recent grants the Foundation has now awarded a total of $2,507,210 since the inception of the scholarship program.
Rochester CC asks all Members to donate $10.00 or more with their membership application. Also, during the 4th of July holiday weekend, Rochester CC donates 30% of all money raised during the Weekend Games to the McDonough Scholarship
