18 MILE CREEK GOLF COURSE

The rolling terrain thirty minutes south of Buffalo delivers legitimate elevation changes that transform what could have been another flat Western New York track into something with genuine character. Designer Pete Craig carved thoughtful dogleg holes through mature hardwoods, creating natural amphitheaters where approach shots demand both precision and imagination. The back nine's creek-crossed closing stretch rewards aggressive play while punishing wayward shots with legitimate penalty strokes that separate pretenders from players.
