Has potential

This place could be better with small changes. The game play is slow because they stack the tee box Always. People are always playing on top of eachother. Tee times are 30 seconds apart

9 hole options are not available in the evening. It could be 6pm or later and they want to charge full price for 18 holes that you won't be able to play.

Can't drive golf cart to your car, thats really a joke. Grow up

Starter and Marshall's needed.

Began early(7:30AM) to avoid crowd. Front nine went well, then the back nine slowed down. Apparently a group decided to start their round on 10, just ahead of us and caused a considerable slowed down. I believe if there was a starter or Marshall we would have completed our round in 3 hours instead of the 4 hours it took.

A great afternoon

It was a little pricey for the course. Limited beverage service only available at the club house and the rough had a lot of weeds which made it difficult at times to find your ball.

Pace.was.great until a twosome jumped ahead of us on 10 in front of a staff member. Not sure if they were told to play the back nine or not.

Also, you can't take the cart to your car so plan on carrying your bag from the parking lot.

OK but Need Work

I really like the layout of the course and the rates are very reasonable BUT the course is becoming very run down, beat up and messy. First of all there needs to be a starter! The garbage's need to be emptied, (there is garbage all over the place and most garbage cans are full). Some of the tee boxes only had one tee marker and a couple had golf ball boxes with tees stuck through them as tee markers. The ball washers should also be put back out, other courses have them. The course was in pretty good shape but could be taken care of much better. The greens are starting to get pretty beat up.

For the price you can play tons of other course in WNY with better conditions. This looked like an unkept town course.

poor customer relationship

I run a group of 40 golfers. At the time we last played BTC we were only 28 golfers. We used to play at least twice a year for at least the last 10 years. Management knew us very well. When attempting to book a couple of dates for the upcoming year, I was told we needed to secure our tee times with a credit card because we were a large group. Since we were not a new group to them and not having any problem in the past I felt that was not necessary. They refused to accept the booking in any other way. Also, the 3 year club house project was still not completed. Half-way house was always closed. This course gets a 1 star rating.

great layout

Can be very challenging or very friendly depending on the tees. the course conditions have always been questionable, great greens, but fairways are thin ,the rough is spares and inconsistent ,and the bunkers are less than great.some TLC would make this one of my favorites.

Different atmosphere than most coursea

If you like getting drunk and having fun for a reasonable price this is the course for you. Nothing about it is high end. Nothing is super pristine but it’s all decent and a good layout to play a round of golf!

My critique

I thought the course was in decent shape. Greens were surprisingly quick. Tee boxes need work. Also cartpath is in terrible condition. You need to fill in all the holes and pack it down. I know it’s expensive to blacktop it but maybe you could put stones in or something, All in all not a bad course for the money. I would go back again.

Getting better

It looks like they are seeing the light regarding the tall rough in front of many of their greens. They have finally cut those areas down so it is now possible to get your ball to the green even if you are a bit short on your approach shot. Makes the round a lot more enjoyable and keeps play moving. It's been many many years of frustration but they have finally made that one change that makes all the difference.

Slow pace

Course needed starters and rangers. Several fivesomes were playing in front of us making play very slow. They also were starting new groups on 10 in front of us making the turn. Had a tee time at 3PM to make sure we could finish 18 before it got dark and did not appreciate all the extra people they jammed in before us.

this course needs work and so does staff

fairways are not grass but weeds and dirt in some spots and cut done way too low almost to dirt cart paths are atrocious and lumpy better off riding in grass so as not to lose your clubs. there are courses in the area for same money in better shape and holes in greens where people don't repair divots.

Slow play

The pace of play was ridiculously slow this course needs Marshall's and starters. There was several groups of five golfers. The cart paths are atrocious, large holes and big bumps. One fairway had an unmarked area under repair with several holes filled with water. Overall NO FUN!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. Please know that this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Buffalo Tournament Club. We hope to see you again soon.

They owe me money...

I have played this course on numerous occasions and it is generally an OK course. The layout is better, usually, then the condition. On this occasion, I presented the cashier with an expired voucher from last year and asked if they could honor the amt. of the voucher cost and I would pay the difference. I understand that the voucher was expired, but, I had misplaced it and only found it recently. I was not asking for a free round, but, to be reimbursed for 'my own money.' Yes, it is their choice, but, the attitude of the cashier (extremely dismissive) and the fact that they (IMHO) violated a basic customer service experience was uncalled for. I will for sure never buy vouchers from them and very well may never play the course again. This is a lose-lose situation. Also, I did send an email to their contact email and never received a replay and that is why, reluctantly, I felt the need to post this.

Good value for the money, GPS carts are nice. Open layout is nice, some easier holes to start and some trickier holes mixed in. This is one of my go-to courses. Staff is always friendly
