Diamond Hawk Golf Course

Western New York is home to some of the Empire State’s best golf courses, and Diamond Hawk Golf Course is no exception. If it's all about location, then look no further than Diamond Hawk! Located conveniently next to the Buffalo Niagara International Airport in the heart of Cheektowaga, it's easily accessible to all golfers, whether you are flying in from out of the country or taking a day trip from Syracuse, you don't want to miss out on this gem.

Designed by noted course architect Dr. Michael Hurdzan — the same hand that designed Erin Hills Golf Course, the illustrious host of the 2017 U.S. Open — Diamond Hawk's stunning 18-hole layout offers a challenge for golfers of all skill levels. The five sets of tees are thoughtfully placed to coordinate with the particular strategy of each hole, allowing all players a fair shake at conquering the course. At a total of 7,058 yards from the tips, proper tee selection is a must.

As you might expect from the mind of Dr. Hurdzan, Diamond Hawk is designed to test every club in your bag and shot in your arsenal. It swiftly accomplishes this goal by taking full advantage of the countryside’s rolling hills, diverse vegetation, and sprawling wetlands.

Though the course fits firmly in the parkland style that’s so common in American golf, large pot bunkers and some significantly heathered roughs help to blur the lines between parkland and links styles. These design elements serve as a nod to the origins of the game, and are blended effortlessly together.

Aside from the course, here you’ll find the facility's meticulously manicured driving range, which is comprised of real bentgrass cut at fairway height. Add to this a beautifully conditioned practice putting and chipping green, and you’ve got one of the best places to practice — or take a lesson, if you're so inclined.

For those who hunger not to improve their game but rather for actual food, look no further than the full-service bar and restaurant. The vast menu and full-service bar will surely satisfy everyone in your group. There's a range of classic club fare and sandwich favorites featuring fresh breads. Paired up with your favorite beverage, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better ending to your day.

Diamond Hawk prides itself on providing country club-caliber course conditions, but with a relaxed atmosphere and without the membership dues. However, rest assured this casual and inviting atmosphere doesn't come at the cost of receiving top-notch service. The entire staff from the pro shop to restaurant are friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure a satisfying golf experience.
