Park Country Club of Buffalo

Located to the east of Buffalo and originally founded in 1903, Park Country Club of Buffalo debuted its C.H. Alison-designed golf course in 1927. The course is built along the subtle rolling terrain of the Ellicott Creek floodplain and completed a 15-year renovation in 2016 headed by Ian Andrews aimed at restoring original design characteristics to the course. The course now includes bunkers restored to original specifications, reclaimed and expanded greensites, and open views and playing windows as a result of extensive tree removal. Host of the 1934 PGA Championship, Park Country Club is known for its collection of difficult holes played alongside the creek, most notably the par-4 18th with a forced carry over the water, and its stately clubhouse—designed by Clifford Hendehack, the architect of many famous golf clubhouses, found at top clubs like Winged Foot and Ridgewood.
