2025 Scholarship Golf Outing
The Rochester Hotel Association and Visit Rochester's Visitor Industry Council have again partnered to host the RHA + VIC Golf Scholarship Tournament to benefit students pursuing studies in hospitality and tourism. By participating, you will:
Support Future Leaders: Funds raised at the RHA/VIC golf tournament go directly to scholarships for students pursuing careers in hospitality and tourism.
Tee Off at a Beautiful Venue: Get ready to showcase your golfing skills at the beautiful Mill Creek Golf Club, with a beautifully landscaped 18-hole course, and recently renovated club house, as well as great views of the Rochester city skyline.
Enjoy Networking Opportunities: Build connections with hospitality and tourism professionals from Rochester and the Finger Lakes. Engage in conversations and expand your network while enjoying a day of friendly competition.
Show off your golf skills: Compete against your friends and colleagues in various challenges including longest drive and closest-to-the-pin -- prizes will be awarded! Not a pro? Try your hand at the Cornhole Contest and putting for craft beverages!
