What Makes a Great Public Golf Course?

A great golf course provides a fair test of skill for players of all ability levels; it has finely conditioned turf surfaces, friendly and helpful staff and a convenient peaceful location.

At Buffalo Tournament Club the golf course design provides a fantastic test of golf from its five sets of tees, along the irrigated bent grass fairways, through strategic bunkering, around mature trees and diverse water bodies, to the massive sculpted greens, giving the player a different challenge each time they play.

The Buffalo Tournament Club was conceived by Marlene and Tim Davis as an upscale, 18 hole public access golf course. The facility was designed to provide players of all abilities with a dynamic golfing experience. Marlene is an LPGA Golf Instructor, currently teaching at the Paddock Chevrolet Golf Dome. Tim is a PGA Professional who designed and built the course and has provided design and construction to several other local golf facilities. Bob and Lisa Colletti of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, round out the ownership group and have participated actively in the planning and developmental support of the facility.

The golf course is located 6 miles east of Transit Road on Genesee Street (Route 33) in the Town of Lancaster. The property on which the golf course was built consisted of a series of several small farmed fields, woodlands, abandoned gravel quarries, many mature trees, and has 55 feet of elevation change. The soils are sandy loam and provide excellent drainage.

With the price of gas these days, the Buffalo Tournament Club is conveniently located for all of Buffalo Metropolitan area, the Buffalo Tournament Club can replace long road trips and international traffic with a high quality, local alternative.
