Fore! Here’s where to find some golf courses and hit the links in Niagara County.
The Niagara County golf courses are blotted with a bounty for golfers of all levels, so make sure you load your golf clubs when you pay your next visit to the region. Where to play? Whether you fancy tackling a championship-level course or simply wish to practice on the driving range, here’s our “front nine.”
Hyde Park Municipal Golf Course
Niagara Falls
Looking to tee-off downtown? Hyde Park is a stunning municipal golf course within “driving” distance of the Falls themselves. Offering 27 holes of action, all within a historic setting of parklands and lake. There’s also a driving range and a relaxing bar and restaurant on-site. Open to the public!
Deerwood Golf Course
North Tonawanda
Named after the many deer who wander its woods and fairways, Deerwood is a sweeping, 27-hole municipal golf course located alongside the scenic Tonawanda Creek. The club offers both men’s and women’s clubs which feature weekly tournaments, and also prides itself on being a kid-friendly club with special greens fees for junior golfers.
Seneca History Stick Golf Course
Lewiston
A golf course for nature lovers, this Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed course meanders along a lush course of woodlands, lakes and ponds where native vegetation has almost created a wildlife sanctuary setting. Scored a birdie? Treat yourself to a different kind of round at the Hickory Grill Restaurant.
Niagara Orleans Country Club
Gasport
What was originally a fruit farm dating back a century, Niagara Orleans County Club is today one the county’s most picturesque courses, flanked by the postcard-perfect Erie Canal. The par-71 course at just over 6,000 yards has made it a popular playground for senior golfers, but all levels can feel tested here. Don’t forget to check out the Canal Side Bar after filling that scorecard.
Shawnee Golf Course
Sanborn
A scenic, mature course within putting distance of the Niagara Wine Trail, USA, USA, Shawnee is a 9-hole course welcoming all levels to its greens. Love a challenge? The third hole, a 420-yard par 4 through the woods, is said to be one of Western New York’s hardest holes — even for the pros!
Niagara County Golf Course
Lockport
Blanketing 380 acres of sweeping grounds, Niagara County Golf Course is a beautifully maintained public golf course in the heart of Niagara County. Whether you opt to practice at the driving range or master the par-72 course, all activity here ends at the welcoming CW’s 19th Hole Bar & Grill where golfers gather for a well-earned beer overlooking the fairways.
Gothic Hill Golf Course
Lockport
If you’re looking for bragging rights, try parring the course at Gothic Hill Golf Club in charming Lockport. Few players have ever managed to achieve the feat here, which is best known for its undulating profile with challenging twists and turns. Looking for a course tip? The club’s Gin Mill Bar & Grill serves delicious food, too — the organic burgers are a house specialty.
Willowbrook Golf Club
Lockport
Willowbrook is a challenging 27-hole course located outside Lockport, where well-groomed greens and fairways offer fun, zippy playing conditions. Proud to be a family-friendly course, the club runs junior golf clinics, while their Brook Restaurant offers crowd-pleasing pub grub.
The Links Golf & Tap
Niagara Falls & North Tonawanda
If the weather isn’t cooperating or you’re just looking to mix it up, check out The Links Golf & Tap.
