Just Jack Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Ivy Ridge $45 for 18 after 1PM, $28 for 9 (after 2:30) I like this. I can take my time getting there from Syracuse, play 9 holes, go back to the hotel and shower/relax before heading over to Dannys.
TPS Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Ok, how about one of these 3 courses - which come highly recommended from my brother who plays in a bunch of leagues. In Akron: http://www.thelinksativyridge.com/ In East Amherst: http://www.glenoak.com/ In Orchard Park: http://www.harvesthillgc.com/ Harvest Hills would probably be your best bet, but might be difficult to get a sat. tee time--actually all of them will be equally difficult getting tee times. If ivy ridge is an option, you might as well throw in Arrowhead which is nearby. http://www.arrowheadgolfclub.net/ Best greens in WNY imo. Just thought of another, diamond hawk near the airport. http://www.diamondhawkgolf.com/ This is a really nice course but the last time I played it took 5+ hours, so I stay away now. You can't go wrong with any of those course, and Arrowhead may be the easiest to get a tee time.

TPS Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Are you playing? There's room... We only need one. Let's pick one and go with it. Unfortunately I have to play in a fundraiser that day, and it's not at a very good course....
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Are you playing? There's room... We only need one. Let's pick one and go with it. How about 9 at DiamondHawk? $25 or $35 with a cart.
SDS Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 How about 9 at DiamondHawk? $25 or $35 with a cart. I was pulling for Akron because I'm selfish, but if this is the best compromise - then sure.
SDS Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 Unfortunately I have to play in a fundraiser that day, and it's not at a very good course.... Well, you've been here forever - yet you've never been to a tailgate party. How about coming to Danny's on Sat or coming to the tailgate on Sun?
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I was pulling for Akron because I'm selfish, but if this is the best compromise - then sure. Arrowhead is also in Akron but their website really sucks so I can't tell rates/times/etc. That appears to be one of 3 courses - Rothland has 3 9 hole courses and Brite Meadows appears to be more of a beginner's course.
TPS Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Well, you've been here forever - yet you've never been to a tailgate party. How about coming to Danny's on Sat or coming to the tailgate on Sun? Would love to meet you and others. I'll have to check the tailgate site to find out where Danny's is... I did meet a few people when I attended the Bills-Chargers game--10 years ago?!?--in San Diego. In fact, I was just wondering what's up or what happened to Lamb? Does he still haunt this place? Is that punk Gavin coming? (just kidding GiVB if you still read this board).
TPS Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Arrowhead is also in Akron but their website really sucks so I can't tell rates/times/etc. That appears to be one of 3 courses - Rothland has 3 9 hole courses and Brite Meadows appears to be more of a beginner's course. The tournament I am in is at Rothland--it's a very mediocre course. If you want to play in Akron, you'd probably enjoy Ivy Ridge more than Arrowhead, but A-head will have better deals in Sept. If you can get Diamond Hawk on a weekend for the price you stated, that's a good deal. It's also a very challenging course. If you don't mind crossing the border and want the best public experience in the area, then try Lochness Links (used to be called Hunter's Pointe) in Welland 20 minutes from Peace Bridge. On a Saturday I doubt you'd really have trouble crossing.
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Is anything definite set up yet? Yes. The driving range at Bob-o-links. You people are just to cheap.
Just Jack Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Yes. The driving range at Bob-o-links. You people are just to cheap. Driving range? We're Putt Putt type of people sir!
EndZoneCrew Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Some other possibilities:Eden Valley (10 miles south of Hamburg) I think I lost a golf cart on this course when I was in college...Bring 5 drivers to this course because it is LONG! I give this 2 thumbs up for CHEAPNESS (like 20 bucks for 18 and a cart) and the ability to put a 1/2 keg on the back of the carts!

BUFFALOTONE Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 I dunno about *too* expensive, but they are expensive. If we play 18 before 1 PM even moreso. Just providing options. It looks like we won't have more than 2 foursomes from the look of it. You think that's bad come to south fla in the winter time and try to get out. Prices are absurd. Courses I play now for $35-40 on the weekend double and triple in price. The worst part is they are always packed. Friggin french canadians everywhere.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I got us tee times for 9 holes. 2:40 and 2:48 PM (if we have a 2nd group) at Diamond Hawk. $29, includes cart. Course Info: 255 Sonwil Drive Cheektowaga NY 14225 716-651-0700 http://www.diamondhawkgolf.com Very easy to get to, near the airport. Get off 90 at Transit Rd (Depew Exit) go south to 33 W (toward airport), go 1 mile & turn left at NOCO station, course is 1/2 mile down on left. If we have 4 or fewer I have to call them to cancel the 2nd tee time, so please let us know here if you're in. I AM! Ivy Ridge in Akron didn't have a time until 4:10. Rothlands in Akron had 12:30 to 1:30 open, but had 3 tournamets going on at the same time. This seemed like the best of all worlds.
