The Country Club of Buffalo

The Country Club of Buffalo was originally founded in 1894 and played host to the 1912 U.S. Open before relocating to a new property in the 1920s. The course played by the members today debuted in 1926 and was designed by Donald Ross. Routed through an old quarry, the course features winding fairways dotted with exposed limestone formations, as well as undulating putting surfaces guarded by deep bunkers and natural grass walls. The standout holes at the Country Club of Buffalo are the dramatic par-3 sixth, played to a green surrounded by former quarry walls, and the par-4 18th, with a green nestled under a natural rock garden. Since 1926, the course has been renovated by a number of famous architects, including Robert Trent Jones in 1954, Geoffrey Cornish in 1965 and ‘83, and William Schreiner in 1996, all the while keeping its inherent Donald Ross charm.
