Buffalo Tournament Club

Showed up at 6:10am for my 6:32am Tee time after picking up my buddy. I was up and excited to play at 5 am. BTC closed till 8 am to re evaluate course, proceeded to tell us they called all tee times before 8am to tell them not to come, which was not the case. Called 2 other golf courses one being less than a mile down the road and they were business as Usual. Horrible experience, wasn’t compensated for driving 45 min the the course.

It was a beautiful course. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Amenities were sparce due to Covid. Staff was very friendly. Carts had a GPS for distance, etc. Had a wonderful day and golfed great!!!

The owner(s) need to cut the grass to fairway level ON ALL HOLES Leading up to the greens. For some reason they keep the grass at rough levels in front of too many greens so your approach shot cannot bounce up onto the green. VERY FRUSTRATING playing a public course that doesn’t adhere to typical course setups. This place gets a lot of play from high handicap or beginner golfers and the high rough in front of numerous greens only helps to slow down play. CUT THE GRASS for the love of god

You need a ranger. The clocks on your carts stop while we are waiting 10 min. to start playing again but your carts still say we are in the - for play time. I have talked to many golfers at your course and they compare you to Chestnut Hill. Money grabbers

Other than the poor drainage in the fairways and a shot from outside of 100 yards not being able to hold a green it was good quality for the cost.

This course has so much potential. The greens have 100s of ball marks and pits everywhere. Fairways are pitted as well. They have weed killer that could make the tee boxes look about 10x better. Also just get rid of the sand bunkers if your not going to put sand in or maintain them.

Love the convenience of this course. $25 twilight rate makes it very attractive. The course is LONG from the tips and provides a very challenging layout. Fairways are in decent shape. Need to encourage people to fix their ball marks as the greens are very damaged! The layout is awesome and this could be a premier course, I could see it getting there over time. Can’t beat it at the twilight rate. I hope they continue to improve!

This course has a very good layout, but the conditioning is VERY bad for what they charge! Every year I think it will get better, but the conditioning is the same. Weeds in fairways and on some greens! I think in the last few years all their money went to their slowly built clubhouse. If you are not going to properly maintain the course, DONT charge the same as properly maintained and Better courses! Golfers are FOOLISH to play here. For the same price you can play much better and well maintained courses in WNY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buffalo Tournament Club has potential to be one of the nicest public courses in the area. However. the tee boxes are very torn up and its hard to find a good place to tee off. Many of the fairways also have an excessive amount weeds growing making the course look sloppy.

The non-progress of this course continues. Fine layout but poor maintenance. You can't blame the Coronavirus for weeds, bare patches, and ruts in the fairways; traps need work. Greens are large and better maintained. Cart paths need significant work.

Me and 3 other buddies from work would head out to BTC last year in the morning to get 9 holes in before heading into the office. They were always very accommodating and we had no issues getting off around 6am and being done before 8am. We played BTC this morning for the first time this year assuming they would have a 9 hole rate. Unfortunately when we got there we found out they don't have a 9 hole rate during the pandemic. Not really sure why that would be the case but it will more than likely result in our foursome not returning to play BTC this year. Well maybe one more time to use our $15 rain check which will result in us paying $22 for 9 holes which I have no issue with at all. Put in a 9 hole rate for $22.00 and you can pencil our foursome in once/week at 6am. Hope you listen to your customers, thanks.

The upkeep on the greens is fair and the course is fun and challenging. The biggest gripe I have is the sand traps. There’s actually weeds growing in them at this point. I can’t wait to finally get to see the clubhouse after this pandemic is over. Overall I do believe if they had more staff This could be a wonderful course. As of right now it is a good course.

This could be a very nice upper end course in the area. It’s just not there yet. The up keep and lack of progress on the course doesn’t match the price. For the price you can find much better courses in the area that’s way nicer. There’s a lot of work to be done here but potential.

The course itself was fine and I have no issues with its layout. The main issue is many of the cart paths are poorly maintained with bumps and holes leading to many spilled drinks.

Some areas before the green and on the fairway had unkempt dry patches with dirt clearly visible.

Overall I think if some extra money and effort was put into maintenance the course could be much much better. Price point was fair. Didn’t hate it but it could be vastly better.
