Riverside Review, Jun 03, 2005

reviewer: Saint from Portland, ME

Good course for the casual golfer. Inexpensive, very convenient, and great service and staff make it pleasurable. A few tough holes, but not overly difficult. The par 3's on the front 9 are very tricky and require an extremely straight tee shot. Water comes into play on 2 holes on the back 9. The back 9 is a beautiful, refreshing, and welcoming walk. With its tall pine trees lining just about every fairway, this course speaks and smells of "Maine".

Springville Country Club
"Best Course in WNY"
Not an overly long course, it rewards accuracy off the tee and penalizes errant strokes. The greens are fast and true, and generally break less than one would imagine. The front nine is deceptive, punishing anyone who strays off the tree-lined fairways. The back nine can be attacked, but the sightlines off the tees can intimidate the first time player. Use long irons from the tee to keep the ball in play(only if they are are a strength in your game), and you will be surprised with the result. Putting is the primary key to scoring on this picturesque layout.

"Shoot in the 80s"
What a great course!!!! Tough, windy, good greens, Robert Trent Jones design, mountains, scenery, helpful staff and outstanding price. What can you ask for more? only one thing, the slope is underrated and you'll shoot higher scores. Not to be missed

Spring Valley Country Club
"Challenging course"
Spring Valley is an older club that recently upgraded the course layout. They changed 3 or 4 holes in the last few years. The course has no housing development on it and includes several holes that require specific tee shot placement. A good deal of wooded area surrounds the course and water does come into play on several holes. The clubhouse is typical country club and I suggest the prime rib. Outstanding.

Deer Lake Golf Course
"The New Management has made Deer Lake GREAT"
I've been a golfer for alomost 20 years now (in North East Ohio) and it always delights me to find a course like Deer Lake. This course changed management about 3 years ago and there have been MAJOR improvements. The fairways have a much more professional feel to them and the greens are now firm and entertaining. This course has come a long, long way in the last couple of years and the new management should be congradulated. Not only that but greens fees are the lowest that I've found in the area. When you go in ask Carlo, the owner, for some of his special chili.
