Durand Eastman Golf club is a public organization located in Rochester, New York. The golf club exists for the sole purpose of enjoying and promoting the game of golf and the social and competitive pleasure that goes with it.

In addition to the RDGA, Durand Eastman Golf Club is also affiliated with The United States Golf Association (USGA) and The New York Golf Association (NYSGA). Members at the Durand Eastman Golf Club afford no special privileges at the Durand Eastman Golf Course facility and are considered equal to public paying fee golfers. The Club offers a competitive golf environment through tournament and weekly play for golfers of all capabilities while extending the social benefit of associating with fellow members.
