Great course for the price!

The course was in great shape but the fairways were very flat and hard. Sometimes it was better to be in the rough because of how flat the fairway was, you would have a bad lie. The cart path could use some work but other than that it was great. The greens were very good as with the fringe and bunkers. The carts are great also, better than most courses since they give you the monitor with yardages on it. We got stuck behind a 4 some that was moving very slow, we kept getting “play ready golf” message on our monitor. There was nothing we could do since we were waiting at every tee box on the front 9. The back 9 was great since we got ahead of that group and didn’t have any problems at all. I would play this course again.

Poorly maintained

This course is begging for attention. Cart path is littered with potholes, both on and around the cart paths. The greens used to be the highlight of this course, but they are bumpy and shaggy. There is no sand in the bunkers, only compact gravel/sand mix. The fairways should be lush and green this time of year but instead it looks like end-of-summer conditions. Weeds galore, and the new irrigation they tried to install last year is unfinished, with drain pipes sticking out the ground and heaps of weed-covered dirt piled over them. Whoever runs this course is only concerned about the number of empty beer cans in the garbage that people brought in instead of paying for the owner's overpriced beer. Such a shame.

Worthless ownership

Woke up at 430 am to come play our 5:56 am tee time. Get there and the 15 year old kid in the pro shop tells us they aren’t opening till 7:30 No call, text, email and drove 30 minutes to get there.

What a waste of a good layout!

First day of the season. They stuck some flags in, no tee markers, aerated greens and the greens were full of winter debris.

On top of that they charge you $5 corkscrew fee and ask you to blow in a breathalyzer at the end of the round to get your $5 back.

Terrible experience! Definitely not worth the money! I am not going back there

nice layout and greens

I know there are many negative reviews for BTC but truthfully, the place has a great layout and the greens were in excellent shape. Being late in the fall the pace of play was good, the course has some fairway issues they need to work out, but just play pick clean and place and you can find a good lie. Recommend if you are able to get it for $40 or less.

Not worth it.

Have played here several times over the years and course is always in less than average condition with puddles,ruts,etc. Add to this the fact that grass is left thick all around the greens and you are in for a tough time because you cannot roll up on the green and then are left having to pitch out of thick grass to very fast greens. Unless you are very good at putting backspin on your irons it's very difficult to land on the green and stay on. Public courses should be suited to average everyday golfers for the enjoyment of the game. If I didn't have a GolfNow hot deal or one of the courses buy one get one deals I probably wouldn't play here very often.

Over booked

No ranger - over booked - 2somes not pairing up-

Called clubhouse to come address it. Nothing.

Golfed here over 20x’s. Every year I give them another try. This was final straw. I’ll go to Terry hills instead

The staff was somewhat friendly

When we arrived for our tee time which was a hour early, we hit balls on the range and putted for a bit. There was no starter and the pro shop attendant said they would send a message on our gps screen when to head to the tee. We started out behind a foursome and things were fine for a hole till we were out of site of the proshop. Then the group in front of us starts huddling around each other shots till it was their turn and then the same thing again. On the tee boxes they seemed to be wait and wait and finally tee off. Never offering to let us play through. By the time we reached the turn, we said something to the pro again and said he would send a message to speed up play to them. It made them slower. I ordered a hot dog and soda and 25 minutes later I got my food and rushed to the 10th in fear of falling behind. The group in front was on the green a par 4. By the time we got to the green and we're putting they had not started to tee off. While in the middle of 11 you can see holes 12,13 and 14 not one single group for 3 holes in front of them. Call the pro shop and lost my cool at this point and said a marshall would be there because they had showed up finally. Folds we teed off at 1230 now it's 415 and the marshall shows up now? So let's talk about the conditions ......the greens were actually really somewhat nice, the rest of the course to say needed help is an understatement. Ground under repair by orange roped off areas everywhere.fairways we're stopping wet yet rough was not. Literally mud bogs in the middle of fairways. They are in the process of drainage everywhere....more roped off areas. This was absolutely the worst golf course I played while in buffalo and would not play again.
