Terry Hills Golf Club
About this course
The East Course at Terry Hills Golf Club sits in the rolling farmland of Genesee County in western New York, roughly midway between Buffalo and Rochester. The facility was developed by the Terry family, with Edmund B. Ault serving as the course architect. Ault, a prolific designer who worked extensively throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic from the 1960s through the 1990s, created layouts that typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural terrain. The East Course reflects this approach, routing across gently rolling land characteristic of the region's agricultural landscape. The course features the kind of strategic design elements common to Ault's work: fairways that reward positioning over pure distance, greens with moderate undulation, and hazards placed to create decision points rather than simply penalize errant shots. The property's relatively open character allows wind to factor into club selection, particularly during the transitional seasons. Terry Hills operates as a public facility, serving both local golfers and visitors traveling through the region between New York's larger metropolitan areas. The club maintains a straightforward, accessible atmosphere typical of daily-fee courses in smaller upstate communities. The East Course shares the property with additional nine-hole layouts, giving the facility flexibility for different formats and pace-of-play management during peak seasons. The setting offers views across the surrounding farmland, with the course integrated into the broader rural landscape of western New York.
Getting there
The journey to Terry Hills Golf Club begins at Buffalo Niagara International Airport, a straightforward forty-minute drive east along the New York State Thruway into the rolling farmland of Genesee County. The route trades urban sprawl for open countryside, where the landscape softens into gentle swells and the occasional stand of hardwoods breaks the horizon. As you exit toward Batavia - a quiet town midway between Buffalo and Rochester - the final miles wind through pastoral fields before delivering you to the understated entrance of Terry Hills, a regional fixture that has quietly anchored Western New York golf for decades.
