Buttonwood Golf Course

Buttonwood Golf Course is a public facility in Spencerport, a village in Monroe County west of Rochester, New York. The course was designed by Matt and Scott Eichas, a father-and-son team who have worked on several golf projects in the region. The layout occupies relatively flat terrain typical of western New York's glacial plain, where subtle elevation changes and strategic bunkering provide the primary design interest. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural drainage patterns and existing tree lines to define playing corridors. Mature hardwoods frame many holes, and seasonal wetlands come into play on select holes, adding both visual character and strategic consideration. The design emphasizes playability for a wide range of golfers while incorporating enough length and hazard placement to challenge better players from the back tees. As a daily-fee course serving the Rochester metropolitan area, Buttonwood functions as an accessible option for local golfers seeking a straightforward round without the formality or expense of private club play. The facility typically includes practice areas and a modest clubhouse appropriate to its public mission. The course reflects the Eichas team's approach to regional golf design, focusing on practical layouts that work within budget constraints while respecting the natural features of upstate New York landscapes.
