Terry Hills Golf Club

Terry Hills Golf Club's East and North nines form one of two 18-hole combinations at this Batavia facility, located in the Genesee County countryside between Buffalo and Rochester. The course was designed by Edmund B. Terry, a Western New York architect who developed the property to take advantage of the region's gently rolling farmland terrain. The layout reflects the practical, playable design philosophy common to many upstate New York daily-fee courses built in the latter half of the twentieth century. The routing moves through open and semi-wooded areas typical of the Finger Lakes region's agricultural landscape. Elevation changes are moderate, with fairways that generally follow natural contours and greens that incorporate enough movement to reward accurate approach play without becoming severe. Water features and bunkers provide strategic interest on select holes, while mature trees frame many corridors and define playing lines. Terry Hills serves as a regional facility for public golfers in the Buffalo-Rochester corridor, offering accessible conditions and straightforward golf that emphasizes course management over forced carries or extreme hazards. The combination of the East and North nines provides variety in hole lengths and angles, with enough challenge to engage better players while remaining approachable for recreational rounds. The club operates as a traditional daily-fee venue with a casual atmosphere suited to the rural Western New York setting.
