This resort is located on the west shore of Canandaigua Lake about 90 minutes east of Buffalo. It is in the Finger Lakes area of New York and is right smack in the middle of the second largest wine producing area of the United States. Only the Napa Valley produces more.

Although this resort is the perfect setting for our tournament, I believe it is the people that work there that keeps us coming back.

Let us not forget that skiing is very big at Bristol, with Bristol Mountain only a few minutes away. This is a year round facility so if downhill or cross country skiing is what you're looking for, this is the place to be.

Overview: Located in the Bristol hills 45 minutes south east of Rochester New York. Front nine is a par 37 with three par 5's and the back nine, which tends to be more of a challenge is a par 35 with one par 5. The scenery is breathtaking no matter where you are and the staff helps set the facility apart from others in the area. There are 70+ bunkers throughout the course and many of the greenside bunkers have been reconstructed with the remainder to be done in the 2003 season. The greens are undulating and quite tricky. The local knowledge will indicated that almost all greens break toward the south end of the lake. A true test of golf from the back tees. Driver is not always the best choice of club off the tee, especially on the back side.

Three toughest holes (white tees)

• No. 11, par-3, 173 yards: You have to carry a bunker in front to a shallow green that is tough to hold.

• No. 14, par-4, 410 yards: An iron off the tee to a landing area surrounded by a bunker on the left, trees all around. The second shot is an elevation drop of about 100 feet and is tough to judge.

• No. 17, par-4, 352 yards: A downhill tee shot with trees all around, and the approach is uphill to a shallow green.

Three easiest holes

• No. 4, par-5, 474 yards: Reachable in two, but you do have to carry water on the approach to the green.

• No. 8, par-3, 151 yards: A straight, easy shot with only a bunker on the right to create trouble.

• No. 10, par-5, 463 yards: Another short hole, reachable in two, green is guarded by bunkers but green is pretty flat.
