There's talk every now and again that the land is too valuable to use as a golf course. Clublink (the owners) and Oakville were arguing in court last August as to final disposition of the land. Quote
dhg Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Played Tri-County in Forestville last summer for first time. I thought it was a really good course, especially for the money. Really like Ivy Ridge too. On the flip side, I hated Arrowhead. Wasn't particularly well maintained and was way overpriced. Rochester area has a lot of great courses. Blue Herron Hills and Ravenwood are pretty nice. Edited March 4, 2021 by dhg Misspelling 1 Quote

I don't think I heard one person that said something good about it except the people that work there Quote

Rockpile233 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 I personally don’t think you can match Glen Oak as far as bang for your buck goes with public courses. I play there a couple times per week during the season. I also love Hickory Stick. Quote

I play there a couple times per week during the season. I also love Hickory Stick. I haven't played Glen Oak a lot in a long time. It always seemed like a great course as long as they don't over water it. It seemed to get a bit "lush" for my tastes. One course I haven't seen mentioned -- and I haven't been on it since I was a kid -- is Whirlpool. I remember that to be pretty good and well maintained. Also, Delaware Park was the toughest public course around in my book. Quote
Buffalo716 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Posted March 3, 2021 Fun fact The 1912 US open which was held at the country club of Buffalo... Is now the home of Grover Cleveland public golf course Yes Grover Cleveland held a US open over 100 years ago 1 1 Quote

One of the most fun courses to play and very reasonably priced. I do like Glen Oak though 1 Quote

Going further out that way, I was in an after work league at Dande Farms a few years back and I grew to enjoy that course. Try to get there at least one Saturday morning in the summer. Quote

Buffalo716 Posted March 4, 2021 Author Posted March 4, 2021 @BarleyNY Another fun fact That course at the original country club of Buffalo. Which is now Grover Cleveland Has the longest hole in United States open history. An over 600 yd par 6 How's that for today in history 1 Quote

I live in Lancaster and my son is a junior member at LCC, I mean it is a nice course & I have golfed it many times but there are much nicer courses in the Buffalo area. BCC, Park, Craigbyrne to name a few. Quote

I usually go to Byrnecliff, I love that course. Quote

It's like impossible to do night golf there now There's literally a line of 40 people at the first hole waiting to tee off Quote
CountDorkula Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Buffalo Tournament club has all the right pieces to be a great course. Every time I play there though it is in such bad shape. Im talking weeds a foot high in the fairway type rough shape. But they just built that crazy large new clubhouse. I don't get it. Quote
