Hamburg, New York
Three branches of a winding creek intersect at the heart of 18 Mile Creek Golf Course, a Hamburg golf course that has become a popular tee time destination for Buffalo golf lovers. The creeks spread out in a wishbone pattern along the layout’s fairways and greens. These creeks, along with four small ponds, create the bulk of the hazards, forcing golfers to steer drives, plan careful approaches and dodge the water that comes into play on 10 different holes. This a challenging yet fun design that spans 6,081 yards for a par of 70. It’s a perfect Niagara Falls golf getaway, just a scenic drive south of the famous attraction.
