NIAGARA COUNTY GOLF COURSE

The flat farmland of western New York proves that championship golf doesn't require elevation changes when the design is this thoughtful. Wide fairways reward aggressive drives, but the real test comes from undulating greens that demand precise approach shots and putting touch that separates pretenders from players. At 6,800 yards from the tips, this municipal gem delivers surprising bite through strategically placed water hazards and bunkers that punish wayward iron play.
