An hidden wonder

A couple of times a year, my wife and travel to Four Mile Creek State park with the trailer to r&r. 1/2 mile from the course. As an advid golfer, retired and a low handicap, l am always looking for a good course at a good price. At Niagara Frontier, you get an exceptional course at an exceptional rate. I had a early tee time and as always, l arrived early (as a single) to stretch etc and was welcomed by friendly staff who set me up and off l went. Beautiful lush well cared for fairways with a friendly first cut. The greens. Perfect. About a 9 1/2 to 10. This course has it all. Rolling hills, blind shots, wide open holes and some water. The course is one of those must plays. Hats off to the course super, Dave Luckman who took time out of his busy schedule to approch me on the 11th tee deck to see if all was ok as he saw me checking the left tee block. A liitle off line. I commended him on the shape of the course and that how nice it is to have a tee decks with cut lines pointing perfectly at the greens. Upon finishing my round, l had the pleasure of meeting Daniel Antonucci, PGA golf course professional. Very personable. If you are in the area, this course is a hidden wonder. Looking forward to my trip back in July, August and October

Definitely a must play course!

The course is in excellent shape and is definitely more challenging than it looks from the road! Upon arriving at the course you're treated more like a member than a person just off the street!

Niagara Frontier CC

The greens were reception and between 11 - 12 for speed. Fairways fair to narrow well manicured. No forced carries. Rough is thick making it tough to recover. Did not eat at club. Great value for money would be the best CC membership in WNY by dollar value. Not the best club house value, NF, Park CCB for that part. Course I would put up against all.

Former Membert

I belonged to this course some 50 years ago with my family Left in the late 60's. i was overjoyed to see they were taking public te times on a select basis. First of all, by going early y buddy and I got a great deal. That aside the course had changed in layout from when I belonged long ago. the change was for the better.
The course is in phenomenal shape and is one of the most beautiful I've played in recent years (and I've played many in this area and in the south). The staff, especially Dan Antonucci, was most helpful.
All I can say is, if you get a chance to play this course, grab it. You won't be disappointed.

Awesome Course, Great Price

This was my first time playing at Niagara Frontier CC, but my golf partner grew up playing there. He hasn't played there in over fifty years,so it was a special round today. From the first person we met, until we were on our way home everybody and every thing was first class. The pro shop was manned by the PGA Golf Pro., Dan Antonucci, who helped us get oriented to the course and even put our clubs in the cart for us. The course was absolutely gorgeous, although it was tough scoring on many "tree-lined" holes, as narrow fairways and undulating greens, took their toll on my game. However, I must say that the course is challenging yet fair. After we finished we returned to the Pro Shop and had another wonder conversation with Dan. Thanks very much for the opportunity to play at Niagara Frontier CC, it was a beautiful morning and the course helped us to achieve that.

Excellent course and a real gem. A bit tough finding balls with the leaves but that was to be expected given it was fall golf. Challenging but fair.

Fun but challenging

This is a very challenging golf course. Hole placement is excellent with the exception of a few holes that were difficult to find tee boxes. Greens were in remarkably good shape even though they had recently been aerated. The third hole par three is a very challenging hole and would be very difficult to walk. But all that said, I cannot wait to play the course again.

Graet Course

We played as a 3-sum (planed a 4), the staff was friendly, met us in the parking lot to pick up our clubs. Had an enjoyable round. The course was in great condition, greens where fast. They have some long par-4's. Didn't comment on the food and beverage because we did not go to the restaurant however the beverage cart girl was pleasant and prompt!

Worth the drive

After reading previous review, took a 50 minute drive from Canada to play this course with 3 friends . We were very impressed with the course layout and conditions. There was a tournament taking place that would have delayed our start but a staff member went out of his way to find an opening where we could start our round on another hole. We all agreed we would return

Bad Timing

When we arrived we were asked to wait for at least 4 foursomes to go through ahead of us. We had a tee time which was certainly not honored. Poor planning on the part of the course.

Great Course

Hidden Gem, worth the drive. Course in great condition and well maintained. Many challenging holes with diverse elevation changes. Greens in overall good condition. Course is well spread out with wide fairways but protected with many trees of varying heights. Staff provides excellent service at all levels.

Not boring

Nice course layout. Very good conditions, nice greens.

Range balls were in a large bin and all the balls were dirty/muddy. Cleaned each ball with some muddy water that was sitting out near the balls. This cannot be normal?

Great Memories

I played the course 47 years ago as my grandfather was a member. He was older and only played 9 holes then. I remembered how lush it was and all the different elevations. The back 9 was somewhat different than the front but very enjoyable. The ruff was very difficult as it had been raining a good part of the previous month. Greens were fast and you had to really concentrate due to fact few greens were flat.Staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall, it brought back fond memories.

This course is one of the BEST in WNY!

The course layout, conditions, pace of play, and very friendly and helpful staff, made our afternoon, and evening in the restaurant, an exceptional pleasure. My wife and I will definitely be looking forward to another trip to Niagara Frontier CC.

Excellent!

We loved when member friends invite us to play and now we are thrilled it is on golf now. You will want to play this course again and again. Greens require precision putting and they are lightning fast! Gorgeous course and outstanding staff.
