Buffalo Tournament Club

New Clubhouse has never been opened. Halfway house hasn't been open in at least 2 years. No starters. No Marshall's Cart paths are like a war zone. They say they can't find help. That's a lie. All surrounding courses have no problem. The owner is operating on the cheap. Not even a cold drink vending machine. This place is a joke. It's easy to understand why this place has such a horrible reputation.

Management needs to improve on how they treat golfers. The success of any business depends on repeat business which the management does not seem to comprehend, shown by the way they treat golfers. I golf at a lot of courses around Buffalo and have never been treated as poorly as I have at Buffalo Tournament Club.

Management is rude, condescending and lack the skills to manage a successful business.

First let me state that I made an error in not seeing the start time for coupons was 11 am and later. So I make a tee time for 10:11 am.

My good friend and I drive up from Rochester and got there at 9:40 am...plenty of time for our start time. A light mist was falling and windy but we still wanted to play.

Young man in pro shop was pleasant and did his best to state that my coupon would not be valid until 11 am. He said the owner was very particular about these situations and would not let us out before 11 using the coupon. My mistake yes.

But on September 24th...10 cars in the parking lot...not allowing us to play earlier than 11 am seemed to me ridiculous give the time of year, the number of golfers out on the course and weather conditions. Can't use the coupon now as expires and will be out of town. My bad, but "Come on Man"!!!!

Worst course in WNY. Go to Delaware Park, Same thing

Course was in great shape this year. Still needs an investment to repair some pretty rough cart paths and numerous bare patches in the rough areas on many holes. The tee boxes also need attention on many holes. The greens were generally in good shape and putting is usually very consistent. They need to continue to make upgrades to the course to get their rating into a “4” range

Buffalo tournament club is a waste. Beautiful layout but terrible on everything else. $100 to play 18, not anything worth that - I’d rather go anywhere else. Fairways rough look just about the same (minimal grass) and greens are brutal too. The green on the second hole has has a tree root growing through it and popping out. No course maintenance at all and I can’t imagine how this is worth $100. Terrible, I’d never play there and will tell everyone I know to not play there either.

The course closed due to weather conditions, they could have had the common courtesy to call prior to me driving all the way to the course.

The greens were in great condition, fast and challenging, fairways good , tee boxes could use some work, and they need to open a clubhouse. A good value .

This course is absolute garbage. They overbook and the pace of play is terrible. It takes almost 6 hours on the weekend. The condition is no better, cart paths are ruined and bumpy every step of the way, its easier to drive on the grass but you still have to watch out for random holes. Tee boxes are never repaired and the greens are dry. It looks like they don’t even maintain the course. The staff can be incredibly rude as well. Not worth $20 per round. It looks exactly the same as it has years ago and the owner won’t open the snack shop to sell burgers or drinks - too lazy to hire someone.

There was zero food there other than chips. We were starving and wanted to eat before we teed off or certainly at the turn. Nothing. No convenience stores or restaurants nearby neither. Fix this and rating goes to a 5.

Course layout is good. Conditions have improved some over last year. There are NO amenities. You don't have an open clubhouse for refreshments and food. Half the holes don't have markers on the tee boxes and there are no ball washers. The price is too high unless you have a discount voucher.

This course could be so much better, but chooses not to. I play in a League every week and I’ve never been more disappointed. Course conditions have been poor all year and the on course amenities are terrible. No tee markers on some holes, no ball washers, and the pro shop just opened up a few weeks ago more than half way into the season. They have a lot of work to do before they are labeled a serious golf course.

I don't recommend people go here. They charge people under a certain age $100 a round after 4PM. No other course in WNY charges this much. I have golfed here when they allowed 5, 6, and even 7 out at a time. I have had some of the longest rounds here in WNY. Course is always in rough shape and poorly maintained. Not worth the money or time. Would rather not golf then go here.

They need to invest in drainage. Second time I booked this course and second time I received a “courtesy call” on how it was flooded, minutes before my tee time. This was after I was in the parking lot coming from 2 hours away. Luckily, every other course was open in the area so I booked Dande Farms, which was an amazing choice and will be my first going forward. BTC needs to get their flooding under control. I will never waste my time with them again.

Course layout was nice and some pretty holes but the course is disappointeing. Staff is minimal, no club house, they dont sell food or drinks… Literally only chips and powerades. Fine if you just want to get some holes in but there are alot better courses out there in WNY.

Large holes in the fairways. Concrete sand in bunkers. Many tee boxes lacking markers to show where to tee off from. Hole cut on a green right next to a damaged area (mower damage).

Have been playing thus course since they opened. This is the best condition I have seen it in. Greens are playing quick, which is my preference

Great course for all caliber golfers. Huge “fast” greens and it is constantly being improved. The course is close to everywhere and everything in the western New York area. Have fun!
