THE PREMIER PRIVATE GOLF CLUB IN WESTERN NEW YORK
Crag Burn Golf Club is proud of its distinguished reputation and commitment to excellence on behalf of its members and their guests. The club provides a first-rate golfing experience while preserving the founding members vision of establishing a premier club with a welcoming atmosphere where "a group of friends could play golf." This year Crag Burn Golf Club is honored to host the 2019 New York State Men's Amateur Championship, August 6-8. We are delighted to host the best amateur golfers in our state and to showcase our wonderful championship golf course.
Only twenty minutes southeast of downtown Buffalo, you will find our renowned Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf course gem. Trent Jones considered the track which was laid out on abandoned polo grounds as "one of our most innovative designs" and called it "a forerunner to the return to natural golf courses"; a philosophy that now permeates modern golf course design. Impressively, Crag Burn is the only club in Western New York to hold a spot on the prestigious Golf Digest ranking of the Top 30 Best Courses in New York State. And at its heart, Crag Burn is a club that holds true to its traditions, as it remains a special place where friends gather to enjoy the game.
"The physical character of the course emerges in part from the diverse nature of the site. Nearly half of the holes play through dense woods. Here, wide fairways are parklike and similar in appearance to Augusta National. The remaining holes are like an open meadowland where amply wide fairways are carved out of tall meadow fescues. The vivid contrast between lush, green bentgrass fairways and the golden color of the fescue roughs impart a character to these holes strongly reminiscent of Shinnecock Hills and the famous links of Scotland.
The result we feel is a golf course which will provide an exciting but fair challenge to each of its members. To achieve this flexibility, staggered trees and four sets of tee markers will allow the course length to vary from 5,600 to 7,100 yards. This will enable every caliber of player to find a comfortable challenge."
